AbstractThe world is presently maintaining a delicate balance of continuing well-being and social development for the people through consumption of biophysical resources of nature without topping global average per capita availability. In this paper, we have framed a per capita top-down framework to survey national‘safe and just operating space’ (NSJOS) for the countries of south and southeast Asia to understand past variations and as a consequence, the present scenario. Amalgamating 27 indicators, all regarding Sustainable Development Goals (except – SDG 17), in consort with their respective environmental boundaries or desirable social development thresholds, this study explores into both biophysical (for ecological stress) and social development (for social deprivation) attributes of 19 countries of south and southeast Asia. This analysis shows, only 2 have remained either unchanged (political voice) or declining (social equity) among the 12 dimensions of social development in countries of this region. The remaining 10 dimensions of social development showing positive progress and will meet corresponding desired thresholds of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2015. All the 7 indicators showing tendencies of overconsumption of biophysical resources, that might be leading to exceeding per capita global average planetary boundaries in forthcoming future. However, ecological boundaries have remained protected to a decent degree so far for these countries. The challenge would be to maintain and increase the pace of social development and bringing it in equal strata of a global standard in future without depleting drivers of these, i.e. biophysical resources. National policy adaptations are crucial if these countries of south and southeast Asia desire to bring about adequacy in biophysical resources reserve whilst granting social equity in access and exploitation of these resources for the people towards the persistant social development in impending decades.

AbstractWith 1.3 billion populaces on the commencement of the 21st century, India is currently impending towards upholding a subtle equilibrium between persisting social development and well-being without depleting existing biophysical resources at the national level or surpassing global average per capita obtainability. In this paper, we have structured a top-down per capita framework to explore national ‘safe and just operating space’ (NSJOS) to apprehend not only past fluctuations that bring about the present conditions but also the plausible future consequences, with India as a case study. Coalescing 27 indicators, all pertaining to Sustainable Development Goals (except – SDG 17), accompanied by their corresponding environmental boundaries or preferred social thresholds, present study probes into both biophysical (for environmental stress) and social development (for social deficit) attributes of India. This analysis shows India has already crossed three of seven dimensions of biophysical boundaries (freshwater, nitrogen and phosphorus use). Also, at the existing rate, India is going to cross the remainder of the boundaries within 2045-2050 (climate change, arable land use, ecological and material footprint). Of 20 indicators used for social development, only five have already or will meet corresponding desired thresholds of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2015. Using tendencies of past variations, the results indicate that if lowest per capita consumption can be attained and uphold, even with projected population growth, total consumption of four biophysical resources (climate change, nitrogen use, ecological and material footprint) can be slashed from today’s level in 2050. Adaptations in national policy are indispensable if India wants to accomplish sufficiency in biophysical resources whilst bestowing social equity in access and exploitation of those resources towards the continuance of social developments in forthcoming times.

Purpose: This study aims to describe gender harmonization in al Mu'āsharah's manuscript by Sheikh Abdul Laṭīf Syakūr. This concept is considered as Syakūr's understanding of gender equality, as one of the 17 goals in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), from an Islamic perspective. Methodology: The analysis of this manuscript uses a descriptive-analytic method to bring up the facts in the manuscript which are then analyzed according to the targets and indicators contained in SDGs 5 formulation on gender equality. Main Findings: This research presents the concept of gender relations in al Mu’āsharah leading to Islamic gender equality as an elaboration of rights and obligations between husband and wife. The existence of women in career and the sustainability of education is fairness according to Shakūr. Likewise, in sexual relations, Syakūr stressed the importance of women getting the same thing as men. Through this research, it is found that there is gender harmonization presented by Shakūr in al mu’āsharah with the concept of fastabiqulkhairat as a form of gender relations in an Islamic family towards real gender equality. Implications/Applications: This research provides an overview of the role of gender harmonization in SDG. Novelty/Originality of this study: Gender equality, which is the goal of the SDGs 5 to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls, has relevance to ancient manuscripts of the archipelago. This study highlights that gender equality can be enjoyed by the people of the archipelago following the evolving culture and customs. Just like the actual gender equality goals of the SDGs, women should be honored and respected, to create a gender equality discourse.

The evaluation and measurement of Sustainable Development and Well-being represent a widespread emerging theme in healthcare, especially concerning, among others, the concepts of social equity and universality of health from an intergenerational perspective. To achieve such goals, Geriatrics would play a prominent role, especially considering the growing portion of the senior population in developed countries. This work intends to explore the possibility to connect Sustainable Development Goals and dimensions of Well-being to a set of performance indicators which are representative of geriatric activities in different settings of care. To this purpose, a pattern of indicators from Emilia- Romagna Region (RER) in Italy is considered. Furthermore, a range of Transitional Care interventions is discussed and proposed in order to ameliorate (or keep stable) the performance.

Abstract: Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are designed as the successor of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as the MDGs’ goals have not been achieved by the end of 2015. The SDGs is an action plan for the humankind, the planet, and the prosperity that also aims to strengthen universal peace in a broad freedom. It exists to overcome extreme poverty as the greatest global challenge. The SDGs concept is needed as a new development framework that accommodates all the changes occur after the 2015-MDGs, especially related to the world's changes since 2000 regarding the issue of deflation of natural resources, environmental degradation, crucial climate change, social protection, food and energy security, and a more pro-poor development. MDGs aimed only for the developing countries, while SDGs have a more universal goal. The SDGs is present to replace the MDGs with better goals to face the world future challenge. It has 17 goals and 169 targets that will stimulate actions for the next 15 years, focusing on the significant areas for the humanity and the planet, i.e., the people, planet, prosperity, peace, and partnership.

Abstract Africa is the poorest continent with a burgeoning population and experiencing the most severe food insecurity and overfishing in the world. Searching for sustainable development pathways, we systematically analyzed a comprehensive dataset on fish consumption, international trade, production by local and foreign fleets, and fishery resource status available for the last 70 years. Our findings show that Africa relies on imports to supplement the lowest per capita fish consumption among continents while foreign fleets fish legally or illegally in African waters, annually landing approximately 3.3 million tonnes of fish (equivalent to 48% of the total marine catch reported by African countries) outside Africa in 2017. While restoring overfished stocks, Africa should urgently transform the regulation and use of foreign fishing to satisfy various demands for more fish for African people, better profits and social prospects for the fishery sector, and sustainable fish resources as required by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

This paper examines the roles of the Nigerian Baptists Social Ministries in the pursuit of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) in the realization of a better living standard for the people of the world without jeopardizing the interest of future generations. It rounds off by suggesting some ways for better future performance for the Baptist Social Ministry. With the theory of secularism, the paper investigates how these UNSDGs came into existence, and the purpose they were designed to achieve by 2030. In addition, the paper considers some definitions of some concepts in the conceptual framework, the roles of the Faith-Based organizations in the lives of their members. It also considers the set-up of the social ministry of the Nigerian Baptists. Furthermore, the paper probes into the activities of the social ministry of the Nigerian Baptistsat the local church, conference, and convention levels. The paper also establishes how the Baptists have contributed in improving the lives of the general public as a way of influencing the attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, before conclusion and recommendations.

Definition Of

The concept of development has evolved over the past two centuries. The main idea of economic development expanded from economic growth to poverty alleviation, sustainable development, human development, Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Preliminary findings show that these concepts are mainly focused on the physical and material development, ignoring social development which is very fundamental to development. In recent years, the literatures have begun to emphasise that social development is an important dimension of development and its importance was confirmed globally after introducing SDGs. However, the findings in these works remain inconsistent to what constitutes social development, they lack consensus and clear definition of social development, they focus on the physical dimension of social development and, they emphasise on the physical dimension of social development frameworks. This study aims critically to examine the shortcomings and limitations of existing social development, along with its features, definitions and dimensions. The study also attempts to identify the shortcomings of social development frameworks, and to recommend the direction towards developing social development framework, which will be more comprehensive in nature. The paper employs meta-analysis and content analysis methods through the review and analysis of related literature on development, especially social development.

This study focuses on assessing the progress towards SDGs in terms of the People aspect in Viet Nam by provincial level over the years. We quantify the implementation of the sustainable goals with respect to the People pillar in 25 provinces in Northern Vietnam over the last decade. The research results show that, in general, there has been much progress in the last many years. However, the performances are uneven across provinces. There is a large gap between the provinces in the Northern key industrial economic zone (NKEZ) and the mountainous areas. The results of this research can contribute to the development of a monitoring program, providing the information needed for policymakers to make decisions and develop policies that are appropriate and effective to achieve those sustainable development goals for industrial development in Vietnam.
