Week 11 -Measurement, Indices, and Indicators for Sustainable Development and SDG

Image
24 May 2023        In the 11th week, we learned about sustainable development indicators. Indicators are measurable variables or parameters that offer valuable insights into the status, progress, or performance of a specific phenomenon, system or process. Indicators are crucial for monitoring progress towards goals, evaluating the effectiveness of interventions or policies and identifying trends. By using indicators, stakeholders can access the success or challenges in achieving desired outcomes, enabling evidence-based decision making and informed actions. Indicators encompass various dimensions such as economic, social, environment or governance factors. They are chosen based on their relevance, measurability, validity and reliability. Selecting appropriate indicators ensures that the measured data accurately represents the subject being monitored, facilitating meaningful analysis and interpretation. Monitoring indicators over time allows stakeholders to gain insig...

17 May 2023     As per Prof Dr Suhaimi has informed us, on 17 May 2023 we will be having a mid term test which covers from topic week 1 to week 9 and the percentage for this test was 15%. Before start the quiz, Dr has provided us the google link form to answers the question. There are about 55 questions provided with 53 multiple choice questions and the rest were short answers. One of the short questions was asked to describe our sustainable group project. My group members have decided to choose “Declutter and Save Storage For Used Clothes in IIUM Gombak” for our project. The more stuff we have, the more waste we produce. But when we declutter it forces you to take a closer look at your spending and living habits. It also can help you to identify ways you can cut costs, reduce your waste output and even ways of consuming less energy.  In line to sustainable development goal number 12, responsible consumption and production. SDG 12 recognizes how we produce and consum...

Week 8 - Roles of Institutions for Sustainable Development

Image
 3 May 2023  Today's topic is mainly focused on two SDGs which are SDG 16 and SDG 17. Goal 16 is about promoting peaceful and inclusive societies, providing access to justice for all and building effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. People everywhere should be free of fear from all forms of violence and feel safe as they go about their lives whatever their ethnicity, faith or sexual orientation.  High levels of armed violence and insecurity have a destructive impact on a country’s development. Sexual violence, crime, exploitation and torture are prevalent where there is conflict or no rule of law. Governments, civil society and communities need to work together to find lasting solutions to conflict and insecurity. Strengthening the rule of law and promoting human rights is key to this process, as is reducing the flow of illicit arms, combating corruption, and ensuring inclusive participation at all times. SDG 17 calls for a global partnership f...

Week 7- Challenges to Sustainable Development

Image
19 April 2023 Today’s class Prof Dr Suhaimi asked us to watch a recorded lecture and write comments based on that video.After I watched the lecture, I have learned about three important figures of challenges to sustainability development which are economic, social and environmental that give big impact in our lives. These 3 aspects have their own challenges that we should cater to and look into to provide a better future for our next generations. There are 4 general challenges that give inequalities to those less fortunate in terms of educational resources, health facilities, food and clean water. As human beings, these are the basic things that we need in our everyday lives that give an effect to our growth development but unfortunately some people don't get sufficient need as other people and that is categorised as unsustainable. On top of that, there are key challenges in order to achieve sustainable development which are instability, inability to do the implementati...

This is because throughout my learning, I gain many skills, knowledge and experience which help me both in my career and in life in general. Education is an influential step in staying competitive and enhancing our skills. Whether we’re starting out in our career or returning to contin...
