SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

WHAT ARE SDG GOALS?

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. These 17 goals, with 169 targets, represent a comprehensive framework for addressing global challenges, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice. They aim to improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth, all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests. The SDGs build on decades of work by countries and the UN, including the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs. They are an urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – in a global partnership

WHY SDG'S ARE IMPORTANT TO REGINA?

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are crucial for Regina as they guide the city towards sustainable urban development, addressing challenges like affordable housing, sustainable transport, environmental impact, and public spaces. They also help in reducing the city’s overall emissions.

 

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can have a significant impact on cities by providing a framework for addressing various socio-economic, environmental, and governance challenges. Here are some ways SDGs can influence cities and the impact they can create:

 

Improving Quality of Life:   SDGs focus on eradicating poverty, ensuring access to clean water and sanitation, promoting health and well-being, and ensuring quality education. Implementing these goals can lead to improvements in living standards, healthcare, education, and overall well-being for urban residents.

 

Promoting Sustainable Infrastructure:   SDGs emphasize sustainable infrastructure development, including affordable and clean energy, sustainable transportation, and resilient infrastructure. This can lead to the construction of public transportation systems, renewable energy projects, and green buildings, which can improve urban mobility, reduce pollution, and enhance resilience to climate change.

 

Enhancing Economic Growth:   SDGs aim to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, decent work, and industry innovation. Cities that align their economic development strategies with SDGs can attract investment, foster entrepreneurship, create job opportunities, and promote equitable economic growth, leading to poverty reduction and improved livelihoods.

 

Addressing Environmental Challenges:   SDGs prioritize environmental sustainability, including goals related to climate action, sustainable consumption and production, and the protection of terrestrial and marine ecosystems. By implementing measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve natural resources, and mitigate environmental degradation, cities can minimize their ecological footprint and enhance resilience to environmental risks such as climate change and natural disasters.

 

Fostering Social Inclusion and Equity:   SDGs emphasize the importance of social inclusion, gender equality, and reducing inequalities within and among countries. Cities that prioritize these goals can implement policies and programs to promote social cohesion, address disparities in access to resources and opportunities, and ensure equal rights and opportunities for all residents, regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, or socio-economic status.

 

Strengthening Governance and Participation:   SDGs advocate for effective governance, accountable institutions, and inclusive decision-making processes. Cities that embrace these principles can improve governance structures, enhance transparency and accountability, and promote citizen engagement and participation in decision-making, leading to more responsive and inclusive urban governance.

 

Overall, aligning urban development strategies with the SDGs can help cities achieve sustainable, inclusive, and resilient growth, ensuring a better quality of life for current and future generations of urban residents.
