WEEK 4 : INTERNATIONAL FRAMEWORK OF SDGs


 
In this fourth week of class, we learned more about the various conventions and declarations that have taken place from the earliest ones up until today. Besides that, Dr. Suhaimi also taught us about the meaning of sejahtera and how the concept of sejahtera is implemented within the framework of sustainable development.

1. Global Conference for Sustainable Development

We also learned about how the first convention on sustainable development was held in Stockholm in 1972. This convention focused mainly on issues concerning the Earth's environment and the challenges faced by humanity. In addition, developed countries, such as Malaysia, were urged to take responsibility for protecting the environment, as environmental problems had become severe and increasingly politicized. Developed nations were also seen as playing an important role in supporting sustainable development worldwide, especially through financial assistance and resources


2. Sejahtera

What was interesting is that we learned about the evolution of the SDGs, which initially had only eight goals but have now expanded to seventeen. In addition, we explored the meaning of sejahtera, which refers to the condition of humans living in prosperity and harmony. This concept is also closely linked to reminders found in religious teachings, encouraging us to live peacefully and prosperously together.
