“We are the first generation that can end global poverty
and at the same time we are the last generation that can
reverse climate change. If we don’t take action now, we
will leave only regret to succeeding generations”.
- Ban Ki-moon, 9 Jul 2016 (“Advocate Jack Ma hosts,” 2016)
Sustainable Development (SD)
Sustainable Development (SD)
SD means meeting ‘the needs of the present without compromising
the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’ in all three
aspects: economic, environmental, and social (Harris, 2000, pp. 5-6).
17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that together aim to end
poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all were
adopted on September 25th 2015 at the UN Headquarters, New York,
and are sought to be achieved by 2030.
The Paris Agreement followed on 12 Dec 2015, focusing on the
mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, adaptation and finance.
The agreement came into effect on 04 Nov 2016. As of 01 Feb 2018,
a total of 174 out of 197 countries have ratified the agreement.

To awaken their tactile sensibility, get SS to close their eyes
and to gently run finger tips in small circles over their clothes for
15-20 secs; then share with partner any
words/phrases/images/sounds that come to mind.
Divide SSs into pairs/groups. Get some to write haiku poems
on organic/natural clothing, and others on synthetic clothing.
Haiku: A Japanese verse form most often of three unrhymed
lines of five, seven, and five syllables. It often features an
image, or a pair of images, meant to depict the essence of a
specific moment in time
