Answers:
1. b) Paragraph 27 of the report entitled 'Our Common Future' issued by the World
Commission on Environment and Development states that Humanity has the ability to make
development sustainable to ensure that it meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The concept of
sustainable development does imply limits - not absolute limits but limitations imposed by the
present state of technology and social organization on environmental resources and by the
ability of the biosphere to absorb the effects of human activities.
2. c) According to the Global Sustainable Development Report published in 2016 by the UN
Department of Economic and Social Affairs, there is generally broad agreement that people
(or households) who do not have access to certain rights, goods or services are left behind.
Such sets of must haves and the corresponding thresholds defining deprivation are often
enshrined in national law and practice. Many of them are also inscribed in international law
and standards. In practice, those left behind may be different groups in different societies.
3. c) Paragraph 55 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the Member
States of the United Nations says: The Sustainable Development Goals and targets are
integrated and indivisible, global in nature and universally applicable, taking into account
different national realities, capacities and levels of development and respecting national
policies and priorities. Targets are defined as aspirational and global, with each government
setting its own national targets guided by the global level of ambition but taking into account
national circumstances. Each government will also decide how these aspirational and global
targets should be incorporated in national planning processes, policies and strategies. It is
important to recognize the link between sustainable development and other relevant ongoing
processes in the economic, social and environmental fields.
4. a) The Handbook for the Preparation of the Voluntary National Review prepared by the UN
Department of Economic and Social Affairs points out that one of the founding principles of the
2030 Agenda is the requirement for processes to be participatory and inclusive. In practice,
this means ensuring that all stakeholders, including all levels and sectors of government, civil
society and the private sector, members of parliament, and national human rights institutions,
are involved in the review and implementation processes. The participation of stakeholders
promotes sustainable decisions, by giving groups affected by those decisions the opportunity
to communicate their needs and interests.
5. c) The publication entitled Education for Sustainable Development: Learning
Objectives launched by UNESCO affirms that this particular type of education aims at
developing competencies that empower individuals to reflect on their own actions, taking into
account their current and future social, cultural, economic and environmental impacts, from a
local and a global perspective. Individuals should also be empowered to act in complex
situations in a sustainable manner, which may require them to strike out in new directions; and
to participate in socio-political processes, moving their societies towards sustainable
development.
