SDG report 2022, insights ..

The 500 page SDG report 2022 published by Cambridge Press, edited by Jeffrey Sachs et al (click here) makes interesting reading as to how the 2015 SDG makes sense to the world seven years after it was propounded to save the planet earth. 

We have barely another eight years to see all the 17 SDGs blosom into positive results for planet earth and its inhabitants.

While I am satisfied with the rankings in general, it is very fortunate that we have neglected our co inhabitants on planet earth. 

In a study by OECD (click here), while human issues and problems get top priority, consideration for all life on land, (SDG 15) flora and fauna is only at rank 15 and all life below water (SDG 14) is given the last rank 17.

Isin't it not high time we took all flora and fauna, on land and below water with us in our fight to protect the planet ?

Alliance University is contributing in no less way in ensuring Quality Education (SDG 4) and reducing inequalities (SDG 10), but our lookout is how we can ensure that all other people of the world are made aware of these SDGs and work towards fulfilling the goals by 2030. 

By keeping the campus green (SDG 13) and with an effective water treatment (SDG 12) system in place, Alliance University can state with great pride an confidence that we are fully supporting the United Nations in its aim to conserve the environment.
