    hi everyone and welcome back to the
  • 00:00:05
    contemporary world this is still your
  • 00:00:07
    professor mr tripp anthony aramis and
  • 00:00:09
    for this session we will be talking
  • 00:00:11
    about the sustainable development
  • 00:00:13
    all right so before we start i am may i
  • 00:00:16
    ask everyone first if how are you
  • 00:00:18
    feeling today so i hope that everyone's
  • 00:00:21
    currently okay so if you would want to
  • 00:00:23
    share anything about your feeling you

    may comment it down below okay and then
  • 00:00:28
    let me know if how are you feeling as of
  • 00:00:30
    this moment
  • 00:00:32
    okay so
  • 00:00:33
    as we start our discussion let's first
  • 00:00:36
    have a look into our learning objective
  • 00:00:39
    as we
  • 00:00:41
    discuss about the sustainable
  • 00:00:43
    development it is imperative for us to
  • 00:00:45
    differentiate stability from
  • 00:00:47
    sustainability after this lesson
  • 00:00:50
    all right so as of the moment everyone
  • 00:00:52
    know
  • 00:01:11
    so according to the international
  • 00:01:12
    science policy platform on biodiversity
  • 00:01:15
    and ecosystem services or ipbs no 75
  • 00:01:19
    percent of the world's land area is
  • 00:01:21
    already degraded no the quality of the
  • 00:01:24
    land and all of the resources that we
  • 00:01:26
    have before is hindi
  • 00:01:29
    okay and human activities have already
  • 00:01:32
    contributed to the one degree celsius
  • 00:01:34
    warming as of 2017 so it is actually i
  • 00:01:38
    don't know it is actually
  • 00:01:40
    quite real for every one of us since it
  • 00:01:44
    we are actually moving closer to the two
  • 00:01:45
    degree celsius limit so answers
  • 00:01:48
    if we will be able to to reach that two
  • 00:01:51
    degree sessions limit no
  • 00:02:09
    no and that's at the moment the demand
  • 00:02:12
    for energy as we know okay which is uh
  • 00:02:14
    actually often they are said to be
  • 00:02:17
    unsustainable and unclean that's where
  • 00:02:19
    they increase no due to the doubling of
  • 00:02:21
    the human population
  • 00:02:22
    [Music]
  • 00:02:24
    from our previous discussions we know
  • 00:02:26
    that the population keeps on growing
  • 00:02:28
    okay so definitely as the population
  • 00:02:30
    grows we know that the demand for every
  • 00:02:33
    every resources are there
  • 00:02:43
    and it has been said that the four-fold
  • 00:02:45
    growth of the global economy has been
  • 00:02:48
    has been manifested and there there is a
  • 00:02:50
    ten-fold increase in global trade with
  • 00:02:52
    that being said
  • 00:02:54
    you will notice that uh it's quite
  • 00:02:57
    alarming no
  • 00:02:59
    in some point is that
  • 00:03:02
    indeed he needed
  • 00:03:04
    that we are not able that we were not
  • 00:03:06
    able to sustain the quality of our
  • 00:03:08
    resources we were not able to sustain
  • 00:03:11
    that
  • 00:03:12
    but first it is imperative for us as we
  • 00:03:15
    go along our lesson to define first what
  • 00:03:18
    is sustainability and let's have a
  • 00:03:20
    contrast from sustainability and
  • 00:03:22
    stability so now if we define stability
  • 00:03:26
    it is it is the condition of being
  • 00:03:28
    stable or in equilibrium and thus this
  • 00:03:31
    is resistant to change
  • 00:03:34
    and it has been said as well that it is
  • 00:03:37
    the tendency to recover
  • 00:03:39
    from perturbations okay so we will start
  • 00:03:43
    our discussion there
  • 00:03:46
    as we define
  • 00:03:48
    perturbation so perturbations definitely
  • 00:03:51
    it means a deviation
  • 00:04:13
    stability would actually i don't know
  • 00:04:14
    would actually let you recover from that
  • 00:04:16
    irregularity
  • 00:04:18
    however if you will be defined defining
  • 00:04:20
    sustainability this is your ability to
  • 00:04:23
    sustain something no
  • 00:04:26
    no
  • 00:04:41
    so definitely that is their
  • 00:04:42
    sustainability okay
  • 00:04:44
    so
  • 00:04:45
    as we discuss sustainable development
  • 00:04:49
    so we go ahead and define it so
  • 00:04:51
    sustainable development provides a
  • 00:04:53
    mechanism through which society can
  • 00:04:55
    interact with with uh with the
  • 00:04:57
    environment no while not risking
  • 00:05:00
    damaging the resource for the future
  • 00:05:02
    it's simply because if we are talking
  • 00:05:04
    about development as we as we hear the
  • 00:05:06
    word development no lagging is if not
  • 00:05:08
    there
  • 00:05:27
    and when we say sustainable development
  • 00:05:30
    definitely
  • 00:05:31
    while you are developing you know it
  • 00:05:34
    would want to i know it would want to
  • 00:05:36
    sustain the things that we have asked at
  • 00:05:38
    the moment so that we will not be able
  • 00:05:40
    to damage the resources that we will
  • 00:05:42
    that we must have in the future okay and
  • 00:05:45
    also sustainable development is an
  • 00:05:47
    effort guaranteeing a balance among
  • 00:05:50
    economic growth environmental integrity
  • 00:05:52
    and even your social being okay so
  • 00:05:55
    as we said
  • 00:05:58
    the last statement we have pillars of
  • 00:06:01
    what we call a sustainable development
  • 00:06:03
    okay so the first pillar would actually
  • 00:06:05
    be your economic sustainability right so
  • 00:06:08
    when you see economic sustainability
  • 00:06:10
    this is a system of production that
  • 00:06:11
    satisfies present consumption levels
  • 00:06:14
    without compromising future needs okay
  • 00:06:17
    so if you will if we will go back to
  • 00:06:19
    economy
  • 00:06:21
    if we're talking about the economy
  • 00:06:25
    in production
  • 00:06:26
    distribution and even the consumption of
  • 00:06:28
    your products now if you're talking
  • 00:06:30
    about economic sustainability crailing
  • 00:06:33
    process economy i must sustain no there
  • 00:06:36
    should always be a processing of the
  • 00:06:38
    products okay there should be a
  • 00:06:41
    sustainable distribution of products and
  • 00:06:43
    even the consumption in which we will
  • 00:06:46
    not compromise koa
  • 00:06:53
    we won't be able to enjoy it anymore so
  • 00:06:56
    we will have a problem with that
  • 00:06:58
    of course so if we're talking about
  • 00:06:59
    economic sustainability we must be able
  • 00:07:02
    to sustain our consumption levels the
  • 00:07:05
    processes of of our
  • 00:07:08
    economy without compromising our future
  • 00:07:11
    needs okay so the second pillar would be
  • 00:07:14
    your social sustainability so when you
  • 00:07:16
    say social sustainability these are your
  • 00:07:18
    notions of equity empowerment
  • 00:07:21
    accessibility participation cultural
  • 00:07:24
    identity and institutional stability so
  • 00:07:27
    if we're talking about
  • 00:07:28
    social
  • 00:07:42
    [Music]
  • 00:07:49
    what it would want to do is to actually
  • 00:07:51
    give us the capacity so that we will be
  • 00:07:53
    able to realize our needs no hindi a bb
  • 00:08:08
    what is our need all right so let me go
  • 00:08:11
    ahead and continue with the last dealer
  • 00:08:13
    and that is your environmental
  • 00:08:14
    sustainability so when you say
  • 00:08:17
    environmental sustainability it is about
  • 00:08:19
    the natural environment and how it
  • 00:08:21
    remains productive and resilient to
  • 00:08:22
    support human life now needlessly to say
  • 00:08:25
    definitely if we're talking about
  • 00:08:26
    environmental sustainability
  • 00:08:29
    resources
  • 00:08:51
    so definitely that is your environmental
  • 00:08:53
    sustainability and those three the
  • 00:08:55
    economic sustainability social
  • 00:08:57
    sustainability and environmental
  • 00:08:58
    sustainability are your pillars for your
  • 00:09:01
    sustainable development all right so you
  • 00:09:04
    might ask so what are the actions that
  • 00:09:06
    are being taken as of the moment i know
  • 00:09:08
    by uh by the world in or in order for us
  • 00:09:11
    to attain sustainability so as of the
  • 00:09:13
    moment the united nations no definitely
  • 00:09:16
    they are doing the following so first is
  • 00:09:18
    poverty eradication as we all
  • 00:09:55
    they are using their capabilities so
  • 00:09:57
    that they will be able to to reach the
  • 00:09:59
    zero hunger okay
  • 00:10:02
    third we also have the good health and
  • 00:10:04
    well-being programs fourth would be your
  • 00:10:06
    quality education for all because as we
  • 00:10:08
    all know
  • 00:10:14
    we will be able to i don't know we will
  • 00:10:15
    be able to create wise decisions and
  • 00:10:18
    with that wise decisions definitely you
  • 00:10:20
    know
  • 00:10:24
    and another another actions is actually
  • 00:10:26
    having a clean water and sanitation as
  • 00:10:28
    you all know
  • 00:10:33
    in order for us to i don't know in order
  • 00:10:35
    for us to survive we want the ah we must
  • 00:10:37
    hydrate ourselves no and without this
  • 00:10:40
    clean water and sanitation definitely
  • 00:10:43
    haven't final problem
  • 00:10:44
    that's why the united nations are doing
  • 00:10:46
    its best no they are doing their best so
  • 00:10:49
    that uh we will be able to have this
  • 00:10:50
    clean water okay decent work and
  • 00:10:53
    economic growth would also mean
  • 00:10:54
    anonymous
  • 00:10:56
    welfare and there are there are programs
  • 00:11:00
    eight would actually be your affordable
  • 00:11:01
    and clean energy now as we all know
  • 00:11:07
    no it is i don't know definitely
  • 00:11:12
    too big
  • 00:11:39
    what you were able to enjoy okay
  • 00:11:42
    here are some of the other actions being
  • 00:11:45
    taken so industry innovation and
  • 00:11:47
    infrastructure it keeps them going
  • 00:11:53
    definitely they are doing their best so
  • 00:11:55
    that they will that there would be
  • 00:11:56
    innovation in terms of the industries
  • 00:11:58
    that we have and even in infrastructure
  • 00:12:01
    inequality reduction would also be i
  • 00:12:03
    don't know we'll also be part of this so
  • 00:12:05
    that uh
  • 00:12:07
    all of us will be empowered regardless
  • 00:12:09
    of your race your age and your sex
  • 00:12:12
    sustainable citizen communities would
  • 00:12:14
    also be part responsible production and
  • 00:12:16
    consumption so that in the future
  • 00:12:22
    no climate action would also be
  • 00:12:24
    imperative for us so that can be dynamic
  • 00:12:28
    specialists
  • 00:12:36
    [Music]
  • 00:12:48
    no would also be part of it life on the
  • 00:12:51
    land no that's part peace justice and
  • 00:12:53
    strong institutions
  • 00:12:59
    no and definitely you having welfare i
  • 00:13:02
    don't know secure and last would
  • 00:13:04
    actually be your partnership for the
  • 00:13:06
    ghosts because
  • 00:13:11
    this would be a collective
  • 00:13:12
    responsibility among the citizens of
  • 00:13:14
    different countries
  • 00:13:16
    okay
  • 00:13:17
    and how you you might ask me know how
  • 00:13:20
    will you be able to i don't know to
  • 00:13:22
    contribute to sustainability now so here
  • 00:13:26
    are the some simple steps that you may
  • 00:13:27
    use and you may consider so that
  • 00:13:32
    sustainable development no
  • 00:13:34
    reduction of carbon footprint so that in
  • 00:13:37
    the time contributes to global warming
  • 00:13:42
    reduce carbon footprint for i don't know
  • 00:13:44
    definitely
  • 00:13:45
    like a carbon at all no that's one buy
  • 00:13:48
    and consume only what is needed
  • 00:13:54
    definitely it will mean your problem no
  • 00:13:57
    bucket problem simply because
  • 00:14:21
    and of course the reduce of the use of
  • 00:14:24
    plastic okay
  • 00:14:25
    patronize goods and services that are
  • 00:14:27
    sustainably produced promote environment
  • 00:14:31
    environment friendly practices and
  • 00:14:32
    mitigate climate change in order for us
  • 00:14:38
    no your i don't know your global global
  • 00:14:41
    warming would actually be a collective
  • 00:14:52
    no of course if you can do no or if you
  • 00:14:56
    have time no you may petition to your
  • 00:14:58
    local leaders to adopt environment
  • 00:14:59
    friendly measures in your locality most
  • 00:15:02
    especially in barangay you know you were
  • 00:15:04
    able to you were able to attend some of
  • 00:15:06
    the seminars no with regards to the
  • 00:15:08
    barangay and we know that
  • 00:15:20
    environmental friendly measured so that
  • 00:15:22
    we will be able to i know to sustain our
  • 00:15:24
    development
  • 00:15:34
    you are empowered simply because you
  • 00:15:36
    have the knowledge no if you have the
  • 00:15:38
    knowledge all you have to do is to share
  • 00:15:39
    it to the world
  • 00:15:44
    towards sustainable development okay
  • 00:15:46
    so of course we share one word always
  • 00:15:49
    think of that again is it nothing
  • 00:15:55
    [Music]
  • 00:15:56
    we must have to change our perspective
  • 00:15:58
    on things the american elements are
  • 00:16:00
    being empowering so that we'll be able
  • 00:16:02
    to be successful and lastly we must be
  • 00:16:05
    able to act because all of this will
  • 00:16:07
    actually not be possible if we will not
  • 00:16:09
    choose to act as of the moment okay and
  • 00:16:12
    this is the reason why you are being
  • 00:16:15
