The Sustainable Development Goals: How Can Better Data Help the World Achieve Them? | Open Nepal. Last week, the 'Sustainable Development Goals' (SDGs) were formally adopted at a global summit convened by the United Nations Headquarters in New York. These are a new set of global development goals that aim to end extreme poverty in all its forms everywhere, narrow inequalities and injustice, and ensure environmental sustainability by 2030.
The SDGs are the new avatar of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which promise to follow up on the incomplete targets of the MDGs and achieve other, more ambitious, goals. The SDG's enshrine 17 goals and 169 targets (contrary to MDGs eight goals and 18 targets), and will serve as a road map for world's development over the next 15 years. The 195 member countries, including Nepal, have agreed to develop their future political, economic, and social agendas around the SDGs. Now that the SDGs have been formally adopted Nepal, along with the rest of the world, faces the daunting task of transforming the SDG vision into successful actions. 1. 2.

It is time to rethink how we grow, share and consume our food. If done right, agriculture, forestry and fisheries can provide nutritious food for all and generate decent incomes, while supporting people-centred rural development and protecting the environment.
Right now, our soils, freshwater, oceans, forests and biodiversity are being rapidly degraded. Climate change is putting even more pressure on the resources we depend on, increasing risks associated with disasters such as droughts and floods. Many rural women and men can no longer make ends meet on their land, forcing them to migrate to cities in search of opportunities. A profound change of the global food and agriculture system is needed if we are to nourish today’s 795 million hungry and the additional 2 billion people expected by 2050.

Goal 2: Zero hunger | UNDP in Nepal. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture Rapid economic growth and increased agricultural productivity over the past two decades has seen the proportion of undernourished people drop by almost half. Many developing countries that used to suffer from famine and hunger can now meet the nutritional needs of the most vulnerable. Central and East Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean have all made huge progress in eradicating extreme hunger. These are all significant achievements in reaching the targets set out by the first Millennium Development Goals. Unfortunately, extreme hunger and malnutrition remain a huge barrier to development in many countries. 795 million people are estimated to be chronically undernourished as of 2014, often as a direct consequence of environmental degradation, drought and loss of biodiversity.
Over 90 million children under the age of five are dangerously underweight. Learn more about the targets for Goal 2. Aid and Development Programs in Nepal - Caritas Australia End Poverty Promote Justice Uphold Dignity. Nepal is one of the poorest and least developed countries in South Asia. The decade-long Nepali Civil War (1996-2006) between government forces and Maoists killed over 12,000 people. Although a peace settlement was declared, inequality, discrimination and lack of basic services – all factors which contributed to the conflict – are still widespread. Nepal’s remote location, domestic instability and susceptibility to natural disaster have hindered the country’s economic development. Around one in four people in Nepal live on less than $1.25 a day. Child mortality in Nepal is eight times higher than in Australia. Our work in Nepal Caritas Australia supports four programs with Caritas Nepal, covering issues such as education, peace, food security, sustainable agriculture, enterprise development and disaster risk reduction.

This article reflects MCC’s work in Nepal before the April 25th earthquake. MCC has had an active presence in Nepal since the 1950s. We have eight local partners and work on projects including agriculture, nutrition, education, health and peacebuilding. We will be supporting some of these same partners with our earthquake response. In Nepal and elsewhere, MCC and its partners work alongside farmers to address deeper challenges to growing and having enough food — whether that’s a lack of land or resources to put new techniques into place. They help communities see what more they can do together than alone and meet the challenges of malnutrition with local, affordable solutions.
In Bhatigachha, pictured above, many farmers work for daily wages or under sharecropping systems, buying seeds and providing labour, then paying landowners as much as half the proceeds from the harvest. In many projects, local farmers are chosen to test new techniques and share them with friends and neighbours. UN Digital Repository in Nepal: View Document.

The new year ushers in the official launch of the bold and transformative 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by world leaders last September at the United Nations. The new Agenda calls on countries to begin efforts to achieve 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) over the next 15 years. “The seventeen Sustainable Development Goals are our shared vision of humanity and a social contract between the world’s leaders and the people,” said UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
“They are a to-do list for people and planet, and a blueprint for success.” First Report Card Maps Out Scope of Undertaking to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals Read more about the first Sustainable Development Goals Report The SDGs, unanimously adopted by the UN’s 193 Member States at an historic summit in September 2015, address the needs of people in both developed and developing countries, emphasising that no one should be left behind. Goal 1 – End Poverty in All its Forms Everywhere 1. 2. 3. 4. Sustainable Development Goals: a win-win for Australia. On September 25 world leaders will meet in New York to formalise the new Sustainable Development Goals.
These 17 goals will guide efforts to reduce poverty and increase well-being, without destroying the Earth. The Conversation is looking at how we got here, and how far we have to go. Unlike the Millennium Development Goals (or MDGs) that applied only to developing countries, the Sustainable Development Goals (or SDGs) will apply to all countries, including Australia. The new goals will have a key goal of eradicating extreme poverty, but they also have a much wider agenda. While the MDGs achieved considerable success in reducing poverty in developing countries, key challenges of climate change, environmental degradation, rising inequality and conflict present a significant risk to the well-being of all of us, including Australians.
Sustainable development in a developed country The SDGs are relevant to developed countries like Australia in two ways. Food Security. Food insecurity in Australia: What is it, who experiences it and how can child and family services support families experiencing it? | Child Family Community Australia. This practice sheet explores food insecurity in Australia with a focus on identifying those most likely to suffer it as well as considering its impacts. Whilst often thought of in terms of third world countries, food insecurity is also prevalent in certain groups within wealthy countries like Australia. This practice sheet is designed to assist child and family services to address food insecurity amongst their clientele. Key messages There are three key components of food insecurity: inadequate access to food, inadequate supply and the inappropriate use of food (e.g., inappropriate preperation of food).
What is food insecurity? Whereas food security is broadly defined as "access by all people at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life" (Radimer, 2002), food insecurity exists "whenever the availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods or the ability to acquire acceptable food in socially acceptable ways is limited or uncertain" (Radimer, 2002).

World Hunger Notes -- The Challenge of Hunger and Malnutrition-- Experts Consider What the Response Should Be by Jere R. Behrman, Harold Alderman and John Hoddinott. Jere R Behrman, Harold Alderman and John Hoddinott Introduction: the challenge of hunger and malnutrition Alongside the tragedy of acute famine, frequently shown on our televisions, there is a much bigger problem of chronic hunger and malnutrition in developing countries.
Although this carries a very real human cost, it is the purpose of this chapter to look purely at the economic aspects: assuring better nutrition can both reduce the economic drain on poor societies and help them become wealthier by increasing individuals’ productivity. This summary article reviews the nature and scale of the problem and the economic benefits which would flow from successful solutions. Four opportunity areas for effective use of resources to reduce malnutrition are then proposed: 1. Reducing the prevalence of Low Birth Weight 2. Using resources to address these opportunities would yield benefits greater than the costs, so these opportunities are economically justified.
The nature of the challenge Jere R. The Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal. Emergency operations The World Food Programme’s (WFP) Nepal earthquake response helps people affected by both earthquakes that struck the country in April and May 2015, by delivering emergency food assistance and organising logistics. Some of the response contributes to the country’s long-term recovery. More information can be found on the Nepal earthquake emergency page. The Himalayan country of Nepal is one of the world’s poorest and ranks 145th of 188 countries in the 2015 UNDP human development index. Although civil conflict ended in 2006, political turbulence continues and poverty remains a challenge.
GDP per capita is US$707 and 25 percent of Nepal’s population lives below the national poverty line on less than US$0.50 per day. Frequent natural disasters negatively affect livelihoods and food security. What are the current issues in Nepal? MalnutritionNepal has one of the highest malnutrition rates in the world. What is the World Food Programme doing in Nepal? Status of Food Security in Nepal - MeroReport. Most people are familiar with the terms "national security" or "home security," but relatively few are familiar with the term "food security. " These terms convey a sense of an absence of or lowered risk; a home is less likely to be burglarized, a nation's state secrets are less likely to fall into the hands of unfriendly nations.
Food security has similar connotations in relation to food. According to the 1996 World Food Summit, food security exists "when every person has physical and economic access at all times to healthy and nutritious food in sufficient quantity to cover the needs of their daily quota and food preferences, in order to live a healthy and active life. " In its simplest form, food security means that all people have enough to eat at all times to be healthy and active, and do not have to fear that the situation will change in the future.
