Sustainable Development Goals Continued

We stated that there are 17 sustainable development goals and today we are continuing with the rest of the goals from goal 12. Goal 12 states that it is combating climate change .Here we talk of global warming. This the idea of climate change. if the forests are are not preserved the effect of global warming is going to be devastating which is not goof for any country's progress. If the streams dry up as a result of the change it is going to affect the country' fresh water supply which in turn affects the well being of the people. So each country will endeavour to preserve their trees to protect their fresh water streams. This takes us to goal 13 which is good use of water resources. Water id very important for the production of electricity. For instance the use of dynamos to generate electricity becomes very important here. The country will harness its water resources to generate power . The economic effect of such power generation cannot be overstressed since the nation will be able to power her industries. And when the industries are empowered jobs are created and thus reducing the country's unemployment rate. Such reduction is of course an index of development. A country with many of her youths unemployed cannot be said to be highly developed. Goal 14 is good use of land and forests. Here the country has to create Forest Reserves and maintain them for effctive development of their forests. The resources we get from forests include both wood and timber. More important is the timber which the country can harness for both wood and export. When the timber is exported the country gains foreign exchange to boost their foreign earnings. Another one is goal 15 which is promoting peace, justice and strong institutions. And finally strengthening partnerships for the achievement of the goals.
