01:51 institutions number

01:53 17 Partnerships for the

01:58 goals wow that's a lot each goal has

02:02 specific targets to reach by year

02:08 2030 to achieve these goals we all have

02:11 to do our part governments

02:15 businesses and Society too in other

02:18 words each and every one of us and how

02:22 can we incorporate these objectives into

02:24 our daily

02:25 lives well we should try to live in a

02:28 more sustainable way at school work and

02:35 home for example by improving our

02:38 consumption habits saving energy

02:42 or caring for the Flora and

02:45 FAA don't worry if you don't know where

02:48 to

02:49 start it happened to me too luckily the

02:52 UN made a very easy guide called saving

02:56 the world a guide for slackers isn't

03:00 that a funny

03:01 name let's look at some of its

03:05 points turn off the lights if you don't

03:08 need them and talk to your family about

03:10 unplugging appliances when they're not

03:12 using

03:14 them you'll save a lot of

03:18 energy take quick showers instead of

03:21 taking a bath that way you won't waste

03:25 water recycle as many materials as

03:29 possible

03:30 this helps to conserve natural

03:34 resources use public transportation or

03:37 ride a bike this will reduce

03:42 pollution donate things you don't use

03:46 they'll get a second life and will be a

03:48 great resource for people in need I'm

03:51 sure they'll appreciate

03:53 it use a refillable water bottle you'll

03:58 reduce your plastic usage

04:03 learn about the sustainable development

04:05 goals in reliable media but also talk

04:08 about it with your family and

04:11 friends I'm sure that in this talk we'll

04:13 come up with ideas to improve

04:16 things as you can see it's everyone's

04:19 responsibility to respect the planet and

04:22 each one of us can do something it

04:25 doesn't matter how small as long as we

04:28 help preserve it don't forget that this

04:30 planet is our home and its inhabitants

04:33 are our neighbors by taking care of it

04:36 we'll ensure our well-being and our

04:39 future shall we try

04:44 together hey

04:46 friends do you remember the other day I

04:49 told you about the sustainable

04:51 development

04:52 goals today we'll talk about the first

04:55 one no

04:57 poverty have you ever stopped at to

04:59 think about what exactly is

05:02 poverty poverty is a situation that

05:05 prevents people from meeting their basic

05:07 needs due to a lack of

05:09 resources poverty is not only not having

05:12 money it's also not having access to

05:15 things that may seem basic such as food

05:19 clean water a home or a simple visit to

05:23 the

05:25 doctor based on all these factors we can

05:28 see that poverty goes far beyond the

05:30 lack of income and

05:32 resources it's a situation that results

05:35 in people not having a dignified and

05:38 happy life according to data from the

05:41 United Nations almost half of the

05:43 world's population lives in these

05:46 conditions that's a lot of people

05:50 right that's why the first sustainable

05:52 development goal at the international

05:55 level is to end poverty around the world

05:58 and improve the the lives of millions of

06:01 people poverty is an international

06:04 problem although the rates of people

06:06 living in extreme situations are higher

06:09 in developing

06:10 countries the truth is that poverty

06:13 affects men women and children all over

06:16 the world even in the most developed

06:21 countries some situations like war or

06:24 natural disasters contribute to an

06:27 increase in the number of people living

06:28 in poverty

06:31 did you know that the majority of poor

06:33 people are children and

06:37 women factors such as limited access to

06:40 education and skilled labor complicate

06:43 the situation of millions of women

06:45 around the world in the case of children

06:49 the lack of education and the

06:51 nutritional problems are very

06:54 serious for example did you know that

06:58 one in four children around the world

07:00 have stunted growth due to poor

07:05 nutrition to improve this situation the

07:08 United Nations has proposed a series of

07:11 social protection measures to help the

07:14 most disadvantage people through the

07:17 sustainable development

07:19 goals these measures among many others

07:23 include ensuring equal opportunities for

07:25 all such as access to basic services

07:29 like education Healthcare or even access

07:32 to

07:34 technology addressing this situation

07:37 requires the support of all of us as a

07:43 community even a tiny fraction of the

07:46 income of the wealthiest countries could

07:48 end the extreme poverty the world

07:50 currently

07:52 suffers we must show solidarity with

07:55 those who have less and you how do you

07:58 think you can help change the

08:02 situation Hello friends we're going to

08:05 continue talking about the sustainable

08:08 development goals today is the second

08:11 one zero hunger did you know that if we

08:15 all work together there are many things

08:17 we can do to end world hunger so let's

08:20 have a look at what they

08:23 are have you ever stopped to think about

08:26 what hunger is being hungry is a

08:29 physical Sensation that indicates the

08:32 need to eat but hunger also refers to

08:36 the lack of Basic Foods for adequate

08:39 nutrition did you know that more than

08:41 800 million people in the world suffer

08:45 from this situation every day yes you

08:48 heard right every

08:51 day for this reason the United Nations

08:54 considers ending hunger to be one of its

08:57 most important sustain sustainable

08:59 development

09:01 goals hunger is a global problem but it

09:06 mainly affects African and Asian

09:09 countries do you know some of the

09:11 reasons why this

09:13 happens Wars and

09:17 environmental

09:18 economic or Health crisis cause hunger

09:22 and

09:24 inequality more than 26 million children

09:27 under the age of five suffer from

09:29 malnutrition

09:31 worldwide that means they don't have

09:33 access to the necessary amount of

09:35 nutrients to grow healthy and strong

09:38 it's important to tackle this problem to

09:40 ensure a better future and a more

09:42 dignified life for all the United

09:44 Nations has proposed a series of

09:46 measures to end world

09:49 hunger one of them for example is to

09:52 help developing countries improve their

09:54 food

09:55 production so that they become more

09:57 autonomous and less dependent on other

10:01 countries in the meantime we can help by

10:04 consuming food

10:07 responsibly buying only what we need to

10:09 avoid food

10:11 waste and collaborating with food banks

10:14 and local

10:15 organizations to improve access to food

10:17 for the most underprivileged

10:20 [Music]

10:23 people attaining zero hunger in the

10:25 world requires an effort from all local

10:30 National and international government

10:33 organizations and from all of us as a

10:37 community what about you do you think

10:40 you can contribute to end

10:43 Hunger Hello friends today I'm going to

10:46 continue telling you more about the

10:48 sustainable development goals let's talk

10:52 about the third one Health and

10:54 well-being let's

10:57 go provide guiding a healthy life and

11:00 well-being for all people is essential

11:02 for sustainable development according to

11:05 the United Nations millions of people

11:07 die every year because they can't access

11:10 medicine or medical care that is why

11:12 improving the health and well-being of

11:15 everyone on the planet is very very

11:19 important in fact this is why it's the

11:22 third sustainable development

11:25 goal in recent decades there have been

11:29 many advances that have increased life

11:32 expectancy but we still have more to do

11:35 in order to end some diseases or to

11:37 provide access to an adequate Health

11:39 Care system for all

11:41 people child health is especially

11:44 important the situation is better than

11:46 it was in the past but many children

11:49 still die each year from malnutrition or

11:53 because they can't access

11:56 medicine the number of mothers who die

11:58 during childbirth has also decreased by

12:01 almost 65% in recent

12:04 years however it is still a problem of

12:07 great concern in developing countries

12:10 nutrition is fundamental to ensure good

12:13 health did you know that the nutrition

12:15 we receive as children has a really big

12:18 impact on us when we're

12:20 adults we can treat some very serious

12:23 diseases with medicine for example

12:27 vaccines and treatments for malaria or

12:29 hepatitis can prevent thousands of

12:32 people from suffering from serious

12:34 health problems thanks to the work of

12:36 humanitarian Aid institutions and

12:39 organizations deaths from these types of

12:42 diseases have decreased a lot and that

12:45 is very good news but there's still a

12:48 long way to go improving the health and

12:51 well-being of all people in the world

12:54 requires an effort from all local

12:57 National and intern National

13:00 administrations and from all of us as a

13:02 global

13:03 Community we still have a lot to do but

13:07 together we can improve the lives of the

13:09 people who need it

13:13 most Hello friends today we're going to

13:16 talk about a very important topic

13:19 quality

13:20 education it's the fourth of the

13:22 sustainable development goals so let's

13:25 get to

13:26 it education is the process that gives

13:29 people access to

13:31 knowledge this is what allows us to

13:34 better understand our community's values

13:36 and culture build social skills and get

13:40 necessary training to perform different

13:42 jobs when we're

13:45 adults all these things make quality

13:48 education extremely important for a

13:51 fulfilling and independent

13:54 life that's why it's a basic right for

13:57 children adolescent and adults all over

14:00 the world this is also why it's the

14:03 fourth sustainable development goal to

14:05 ensure that this right is respected and

14:09 that children adolescents and adults

14:11 have access to the education

14:13 system according to data from the United

14:16 Nations more than 260 million children

14:19 in the world are still not attending

14:22 school or rather they cannot go to

14:26 school you heard right there there are

14:28 more than 260 million children around

14:31 the world who do not or cannot go to

14:34 school isn't that

14:37 unbelievable sometimes this happens when

14:39 children live far away from their

14:41 schools and have to travel very long

14:43 distances every day to go to school can

14:46 you imagine walking 3 hours to school

14:49 and then 3 hours

14:52 back this is what happens to many

14:55 children living in developing countries

14:57 poverty is also Al a factor that limits

15:00 access to education many children have

15:02 to start working when they're still very

15:04 young in order to help their families

15:07 economically and this situation causes

15:09 them to leave school before they finish

15:11 their

15:12 studies another reason that prevents

15:15 access to the educational system is the

15:17 armed conflict or War situations that

15:20 are occurring in some countries around

15:22 the

15:24 world did you know that there are some

15:27 places in the world where young and

15:29 teenage girls do not have the same

15:31 opportunities to go to school as

15:34 boys this causes them to have a lower

15:37 education level and fewer possibilities

15:40 to get skilled jobs when they're

15:43 adults education needs to be available

15:45 to the youngest children all the way to

15:50 adults according to UNESCO 16% of adults

15:54 in the world are illiterate which means

15:56 they don't know how to read or write

16:00 the United Nations goal is to ensure

16:02 inclusive Equitable and good quality

16:05 education around the world inclusive

16:08 education allows all people to have

16:10 access to it without discrimination of

16:13 any kind based on

16:17 disability gender or place of origin for

16:21 example all people should have equal

16:24 opportunities and to do this there need

16:27 to be enough schools and teachers so

16:29 that all boys and girls can complete

16:31 free and high education at both the

16:34 primary and secondary

16:36 levels providing quality education that

16:39 is accessible to all requires an effort

16:42 from local National and international

16:47 authorities as well as from all of us as

16:49 a global

16:51 Community how do you think you could do

16:53 your part in helping to achieve

16:55 accessible education for all

17:00 hi friends today we're going to talk

17:02 about a really important topic gender

17:06 equality and empowering women and girls

17:09 let's get to

17:12 it gender equality is when everyone has

17:16 the same

17:17 opportunities rights and privileges no

17:20 matter what their gender is it's when

17:22 everyone is treated with respect in all

17:24 aspects of their lives whatever their

17:26 gender is

17:29 the situations women have lived through

17:31 throughout history have made the fight

17:33 for gender equality about women having

17:36 the same rights as

17:40 men let's look at some examples

17:44 why only 133% of private land in the

17:47 world is owned by

17:48 [Music]

17:50 women more than 750 million girls get

17:53 married before they're

17:57 adults women women still earn less money

17:59 than men for the same

18:01 jobs and have less access to

18:05 education for these reasons and many

18:08 more gender equality is a top priority

18:12 as a sustainable development goal for

18:14 the United

18:17 Nations equality is not only a

18:19 fundamental human right but it's also

18:22 one of the main ingredients for building

18:24 a peaceful and sustainable

18:27 world

18:29 although much progress has been made

18:32 women and girls around the world still

18:35 do not have access to the same

18:37 opportunities as

18:40 men to put an end to this problem it's

18:43 important to change certain laws rethink

18:46 certain customs and promote policies

18:48 that will stop Injustice against all

18:50 women and girls around the

18:54 [Music]

18:55 world and what can we do to achieve

18:58 greater equality many things for example

19:02 we can start by understanding that we

19:04 are different but also

19:08 equal what does that

19:10 mean that we all have different likes

19:13 and personalities but that doesn't make

19:15 us better or worse than others we're all

19:21 people for this reason it's important to

19:24 respect each other and be kind to others

19:27 we must respect everyone's likes and

19:30 dislikes and know that no sport clothing

19:33 toy or color is only for girls or only

19:36 for

19:39 boys did you know that there are

19:42 thousands of women who have done great

19:44 things we can learn a lot from the lives

19:47 and work of women scientists artists and

19:53 athletes and we can also learn a lot

19:55 from the women in our lives our mothers

19:59 grandmothers sisters teachers and

20:02 friends have many experiences and things

20:04 to share listen to

20:07 them achieving gender equality requires

20:10 an effort from local National and

20:13 international

20:15 authorities and from all of us as a

20:17 global

20:18 community and you how do you think you

20:21 can help to promote gender

20:26 equality Hello friends today we're going

20:28 to talk about a very important topic

20:31 clean water and sanitation have you

20:34 heard of that before let me explain it

20:36 to

20:37 you as you know water is a very

20:40 important resource that all living

20:42 things depend

20:45 on when we talk about clean water and

20:48 sanitation we're referring to the

20:50 technical and social efforts that make

20:53 safe and accessible water available to

20:55 everyone in the

20:57 world

20:59 according to the United

21:01 Nations one in three people in the world

21:04 do not have access to Safe Drinking

21:07 Water and two out of five do not have a

21:11 place to wash their

21:12 hands millions of people do not even

21:15 have access to a

21:19 toilet all this means that hygiene

21:22 conditions in many places are quite

21:24 limited for these and other reasons

21:27 clean water and sanitation is one of the

21:30 United Nations sustainable development

21:35 goals to solve these problems it's

21:38 necessary to do two

21:40 things have clean water systems that

21:43 improve the living conditions of all

21:46 people and reduce water

21:49 pollution the United Nations wants to

21:52 make Safe Drinking Water universally

21:54 accessible in the next few

21:57 years wouldn't it be great if everyone

21:59 in the world had safe drinking water in

22:01 their

22:03 homes in addition the UN has given

22:06 governments numerous tips and

22:08 recommendations for improving water

22:11 quality and restoring marine ecosystems

22:14 isn't that

22:16 great to achieve this it's essential to

22:19 reduce

22:21 pollution and make clean water sources

22:23 available in every part of the

22:26 world achieving clean water and

22:29 sanitation requires effort from

22:31 local National and international

22:34 authorities and from all of us as a

22:36 global

22:38 Community when we take care of water

22:41 we're taking care of the planet don't

22:43 forget

22:46 that Hello friends today I'm going to

22:49 tell you more about the sustainable

22:51 development goals let's talk about the

22:54 seventh one affordable and clean

22:58 energy a very important topic for those

23:01 of us who want to take care of our

23:04 planet let's get to

23:08 it we already know that the definition

23:11 of energy is the ability to make things

23:15 work but what do we mean by affordable

23:18 clean

23:20 energy let's take it one step at a time

23:23 first when we talk about affordable

23:26 energy we mean making making sure that

23:28 everyone on the planet has access to

23:31 good Energy Services no matter their

23:34 location or

23:38 circumstances did you know that the

23:40 least developed countries have the worst

23:42 access to

23:45 energy if we improve energy

23:47 accessibility for all people it can help

23:50 increase Economic Development and

23:53 decrease poverty in these

23:56 countries

23:58 access to electricity is gradually

24:00 improving in the poorest countries but

24:03 even today 133% of the world's

24:06 population does not have modern

24:08 electricity services and some 3 billion

24:12 people depend on wood or coal for

24:14 cooking and heating which as you know is

24:17 very harmful to the

24:23 environment energy production causes

24:25 lots of pollution and currently

24:28 contributes to global warming global

24:31 warming causes climate change and

24:33 represents about 60% of all Global

24:36 greenhouse gas

24:39 emissions as you can see energy

24:42 production has a huge impact on the

24:45 environment it is important to improve

24:48 Energy Efficiency this means we must try

24:51 to use the least amount of energy

24:53 possible to achieve the best result we

24:57 must also try to support infrastructure

24:59 and Technology improvements so that

25:01 energy produces less pollution and helps

25:04 improve the lives of millions of

25:07 people for this reason the United

25:11 Nations has made affordable sustainable

25:14 and clean energy one of its sustainable

25:16 development

25:21 goals cooperation between different

25:24 countries is super important in order to

25:27 continue research on Energy Efficiency

25:29 and clean energies which are those that

25:32 do not produce any type of

25:36 pollution like renewable

25:39 energies achieving more affordable and

25:42 clean energy requires an effort from all

25:45 government administrations and from all

25:47 of us as a global

25:50 Community can you think of any ways to

25:52 reduce how much energy you use in your

25:56 day

26:00 Hello friends today we'll continue to

26:03 explore the sustainable development

26:05 goals we're on the eighth one now we'll

26:09 be talking about two very important

26:11 topics the right to decent work and

26:14 economic growth let's get to

26:18 it as you may already know a job is an

26:22 activity that people do in exchange for

26:25 a salary or benefit thanks to people's

26:28 jobs we can provide solutions to our

26:31 needs as a

26:34 society and when we talk about decent

26:37 jobs or decent work what do we mean

26:41 quite simply we mean that everyone

26:44 should have a decent job in which their

26:47 fundamental rights are respected without

26:50 discrimination of any kind and with Fair

26:53 pay in relation to the effort they

26:56 make

26:58 a decent job is the way out of

27:01 poverty since when people are unemployed

27:05 or even when they do have a job but they

27:08 don't receive a good enough salary to

27:09 cover their basic needs they can't live

27:12 a dignified

27:14 [Music]

27:16 life and where do you think this

27:18 situation is most common yes indeed in

27:23 developing

27:24 countries and it affects women and

27:26 vulnerable groups groups the

27:30 most for this reason the United Nations

27:33 has made access to decent work and

27:36 economic growth for everyone one of its

27:39 sustainable development

27:42 goals this sustainable development goal

27:45 also wants to put an end to forced labor

27:48 slavery and the use of child

27:51 labor even today many children do not go

27:54 to school because they have to work

27:58 this has to

28:00 stop and here's another fact did you

28:03 know that men earn an average of 23%

28:07 more than women in many countries around

28:09 the world this is called the wage Gap

28:13 and it's one of the biggest problems we

28:15 need to solve in order to create gender

28:17 equality unfair isn't

28:21 it the situation of young people is also

28:24 worrying it's often very difficult for

28:27 them to find work and the conditions are

28:30 often poor with low

28:34 pay in order to meet this objective

28:37 technological advances Innovation and

28:40 increased productivity are super

28:43 important as they offer solutions to

28:45 improve the quality of employment but we

28:48 can't forget to take care of the

28:49 environment along the

28:52 way to do this there need to be new jobs

28:56 with good and safe

28:59 conditions support for the creation of

29:01 small and medium-sized

29:03 businesses and laws pass that promote

29:06 equality between men and

29:08 women for these reasons making sure that

29:11 everyone in the world has access to a

29:13 decent job requires effort from all

29:16 government

29:17 administrations as well as the support

29:19 of society as a whole together we can

29:22 achieve

29:26 this

29:27 Hello friends today we will continue

29:30 learning about the sustainable

29:32 development goals we're on the ninth one

29:34 now industry Innovation and

29:38 infrastructure stay tuned and I'll tell

29:40 you what it's all

29:42 about industry is the activity that uses

29:46 machines and tools to transform raw

29:49 materials into finished

29:52 products it's done in very large

29:55 buildings called factories where many

29:57 people

30:00 work Innovation is the changes and

30:02 improvements to processes that make

30:05 people's lives

30:07 easier it can be a new idea or a

30:10 different way of

30:12 working infrastructure is the facilities

30:15 needed to do a specific activity that

30:18 helps Society function

30:21 better an example of infrastructure can

30:23 be a road or Bridge

30:27 but also a school or a

30:31 hospital sustainable

30:33 industrialization Innovation and quality

30:37 infrastructure are the basic tools for

30:39 improving the development economies and

30:42 therefore lives of the people living in

30:44 the poorest

30:47 countries Innovation and new

30:49 technologies are super important in

30:52 solving economic and environmental

30:55 problems it's important that countries

30:57 dedicate money to researching these

30:59 things and that all of it is

31:03 sustainable many developing countries

31:05 still need quality infrastructure such

31:08 as roads

31:10 sanitation electricity and

31:13 internet improvements in these areas

31:16 would have a big impact on the quality

31:18 of life of millions of

31:21 people the main objective of the

31:23 International Community is to create

31:26 safe quality and Sustainable Solutions

31:29 to improve the lives of all

31:33 people for all these reasons improving

31:36 Industrial Systems investing in

31:39 Innovation and bettering infrastructure

31:41 requires effort from all governments and

31:44 from all of us as a global Community see

31:48 you

31:52 soon Hello friends today we're going to

31:55 continue learning about the sustainable

31:57 development goals we are going to focus

32:01 on the 10th goal which is about an

32:03 important issue reducing

32:06 inequalities do you know what this means

32:09 let's have a look

32:12 together when we talk about inequality

32:15 we are referring to how some people are

32:18 treated differently than

32:20 others inequality may be because of

32:22 different things like

32:25 gender religion

32:29 origin and

32:31 more inequality causes poverty

32:35 malnutrition and

32:38 hunger did you know that the richest 1%

32:41 of the world's people have more money

32:44 than the rest of the people in the world

32:46 all

32:48 together or that women can earn 75% less

32:52 for doing the same job as

32:55 men these facts and many more have

32:58 caused the United Nations to make

33:01 reducing inequalities the 10th

33:03 sustainable development

33:06 goal Social Security helps the most

33:09 vulnerable people and has become more

33:12 common around the world in recent

33:14 years however the unequal distribution

33:17 of wealth and access to Quality

33:19 education and Health Care means that

33:22 millions of people still live in

33:24 difficult

33:25 conditions

33:27 educational inequality causes social and

33:30 economic inequality because it means

33:32 that some people do not have the same

33:34 opportunity to receive an education and

33:37 build their

33:38 future supporting a quality public

33:40 education system will help improve the

33:42 lives of millions of children around the

33:46 world gender inequality occurs when a

33:50 person does not have access to the same

33:52 opportunities as another person because

33:54 of their

33:55 gender historically

33:57 this has happened a lot to women who

34:00 have seen how their working and social

34:02 opportunities have been worse than

34:06 men's this situation has improved in

34:09 some countries but there's still a long

34:11 way to go to reach true

34:13 equality for these reasons reducing

34:16 inequalities requires an effort from all

34:19 government

34:20 administrations and from us as a global

34:24 Community what are some ways you can

34:26 think of to help include all people

34:29 regardless of age gender disability race

34:32 or

34:34 religion I'm sure you can think of a

34:37 great way to do your

34:39 [Music]

34:43 part Hello friends today we're going to

34:47 talk some more about the sustainable

34:49 development goals we're on the 11th one

34:52 now sustainable cities and

34:55 communities let's let's Jump Right

34:59 In as you might already know

35:01 sustainability means meeting people's

35:03 needs today in a way that allows people

35:07 in the future to also meet their needs

35:10 it means that we need to grow the

35:12 economy without hurting the

35:15 environment so what does sustainable

35:17 cities and communities

35:19 mean it means cities and communities

35:22 that give their people a good quality of

35:24 life but do not put the environment at

35:26 risk

35:29 sustainable cities protect the rights of

35:31 their

35:32 people such as the right to housing

35:35 access to Green spaces quality public

35:38 transportation and protecting cultural

35:41 heritage to name a

35:43 few our world is becoming more and more

35:46 urbanized today more than half of the

35:49 population lives in cities and 70% of

35:52 the planet's harmful carbon emissions

35:54 come from

35:55 cities

35:57 for this reason the United Nations

36:00 believes it is a key sustainable

36:02 development objective for communities

36:05 and cities to be more respectful of the

36:09 environment it's very important to take

36:11 care of the planet we live

36:15 on rapid urbanization causes millions of

36:18 people to live in neighborhoods with

36:20 weak infrastructure and inadequate

36:24 services this increases air pollution

36:27 and leads to uncontrolled Urban

36:31 growth although cities occupy only 3% of

36:34 the earth they represent between 60 and

36:37 80% of energy

36:39 consumption that's a lot don't you

36:43 think countries need to provide access

36:46 to adequate safe housing with basic

36:49 services for all people housing needs to

36:52 be in places with good transportation

36:54 systems and must adapt to the the needs

36:57 of the most vulnerable people it is also

37:00 important to care for the planet's

37:01 cultural and natural

37:03 heritage respect for monuments as well

37:06 as nature is essential for building

37:09 sustainable

37:11 communities making cities and

37:13 communities sustainable is the key to

37:15 reducing their environmental impact it

37:18 requires an effort from all government

37:21 administrations and from all of us as a

37:23 global

37:24 Community surely you can help make your

37:27 city more

37:28 sustainable can you think of a way to do

37:30 your

37:31 [Music]

37:35 part Hello friends today we're going to

37:38 continue learning about the sustainable

37:40 development goals it's time for number

37:43 12 responsible consumption and

37:45 production so here we

37:48 go consumption and production happen all

37:51 over the planet and depend a lot on

37:54 natural resources

37:57 this means that they also depend on the

37:59 environment

38:02 too today production and consumption

38:06 have destructive effects on the

38:08 planet which is why it's so important to

38:10 promote sustainable production and

38:13 responsible consumption by

38:16 everyone there has been a lot of

38:18 economic and social progress over the

38:21 last 100 years but it has damaged the

38:24 environment and endangered the natural

38:26 resour resources that we need to

38:28 survive for this reason the United

38:31 Nations has set environmentally

38:33 responsible production and consumption

38:35 as a key sustainable development

38:39 objective let's take a look at some data

38:42 to understand what is

38:44 happening if we continue to consume at

38:47 the current uncontrolled rate by the

38:49 year 20150 we will need three times the

38:53 natural resources available on planet

38:56 Earth

38:57 unbelievable we must put a stop to

39:01 this every year even though hunger is

39:05 one of the biggest problems in the world

39:08 1/3 of all food is wasted you heard

39:12 right 13 it makes no

39:16 sense in addition energy use continues

39:19 to grow and both businesses and houses

39:22 depend on it daily did you know that

39:25 between 19 1990 and 2020 CO2 and other

39:30 greenhouse gas emissions increased by

39:33 50% yes by

39:37 50% this is why it is important to use

39:41 sustainable and renewable energy sources

39:44 and to promote responsible consumption

39:47 of both the energy and the resources the

39:50 Earth gives

39:51 us some of the international community's

39:54 goals to solve this problem are to cut

39:57 food waste in

39:59 half promote environmentally friendly

40:02 waste management and reduce the use of

40:05 fossil fuel such as coal and

40:09 oil to achieve this it's super important

40:12 to give people the tools to promote

40:14 sustainability it's also important to

40:17 help developing countries grow in their

40:19 scientific and technological capacity so

40:23 that they can have more responsible

40:24 consumption and production

40:28 patterns for all these reasons achieving

40:31 more responsible production and

40:33 consumption requires an effort from all

40:36 administrations and from all of us as a

40:39 global

40:40 Community I have some ideas of things

40:43 that we can all do to help for example

40:47 we can buy seasonal and Local Foods so

40:50 that they don't travel from far away

40:53 this helps reduce greenhouse gas

40:55 emissions from the vehicle that

40:56 transport

40:58 them we can also use energy saving light

41:01 bulbs in addition to taking care of the

41:04 environment will'll save money on the

41:05 electricity

41:07 bill also we must be very careful to

41:10 recycle

41:11 correctly and avoid wasting water

41:15 natural resources are not infinite and

41:18 it's up to us to preserve them can you

41:21 think of any other ways to help make

41:23 production and consumption

41:25 responsible

41:29 Hello

41:30 friends today we're going to continue

41:32 talking about the sustainable

41:34 development goals specifically number

41:37 13 climate

41:39 action here we

41:42 go I'm sure you already know what

41:45 climate is but I'll remind you just in

41:48 case climate is the weather conditions

41:51 that are typical in a certain

41:54 place this includes

41:56 temperature humidity and wind among

42:00 other

42:03 things each year is hotter than the

42:07 last and the levels of carbon dioxide

42:11 and other harmful greenhouse gases

42:13 continue to

42:18 rise for these and many other reasons

42:21 the United Nations has made climate

42:23 action one of its main sustain animal

42:26 development

42:29 goals climate change is affecting all

42:32 countries around the world with no

42:35 exception sea and ocean levels are

42:39 rising and weather phenomena are

42:41 becoming more

42:44 extreme for example there are many more

42:47 droughts and floods than in previous

42:51 times we need to take urgent action to

42:55 improve the extreme climate situation we

42:57 are

42:58 experiencing this will save lives and

43:01 ensure a healthy future for all people

43:03 on Earth there's still time but we need

43:07 to get down to

43:10 work in addition the temperature of the

43:13 oceans has risen a

43:16 lot and the ice and snow around the

43:19 world are

43:22 melting this is causing the habitats of

43:25 millions of animals and plants to change

43:28 endangering their

43:32 survival we need to be aware of climate

43:35 change and we must try to reduce its

43:38 effects as much as

43:41 possible reducing the use of

43:43 non-renewable energies like oil or coal

43:48 practicing responsible

43:51 consumption and recycling are all things

43:54 we can do to help this situation ation

43:57 so that it doesn't continue to get

44:01 worse and you what can you do in your

44:04 daily life to help slow down climate

44:07 change here are some

44:11 tips save energy at home turn off lights

44:16 and electronics when you don't need

44:20 them did you know that using energy

44:23 saving light bulbs can reduce energy

44:25 consumption by by

44:28 80% practice the three

44:32 Rs

44:35 Reduce

44:38 Reuse and

44:41 recycle when you do these three things

44:44 it takes less energy to produce and

44:47 transport new products which emits a lot

44:50 less greenhouse

44:54 gases mix sense

44:57 right use sustainable Transportation

45:01 whenever possible walk or use your

45:05 bike and for longer Journeys use public

45:11 transport when we reduce the number of

45:13 vehicles on the road we reduce the

45:16 amount of greenhouse gases not a bad

45:19 idea

45:21 right to stop climate change from

45:24 continuing as much as it has has until

45:26 now and to slow down damage to the

45:28 planet requires an effort from all the

45:31 administrations and from all of us as a

45:34 global

45:36 Community anyone can do the small

45:38 actions like the ones I've talked to you

45:40 about anyone can save the

45:43 [Music]

45:46 planet Hello friends today we're going

45:49 to continue talking about the

45:51 sustainable development goals we're on

45:53 number 14 now and this is a super

45:57 important topic Life Below water let's

46:00 get

46:01 started as you probably already know

46:05 underwater life is all the ecosystems

46:07 that make up the Seas and

46:10 oceans these ecosystems are important to

46:13 humans for many reasons they regulate

46:16 the planet's climate and provide us with

46:20 food raw materials and energy

46:24 resources

46:26 [Music]

46:29 so it's essential that we take care of

46:31 them for this reason the United Nations

46:34 has made the protection of underwater

46:37 life one of its main sustainable

46:39 development

46:40 [Music]

46:42 goals did you know that the Earth is

46:44 known as the blue

46:46 planet yes that's because the oceans

46:50 cover 3/4 of its

46:52 surface and contain 97% of the planet's

46:55 water

46:57 water in fact when you look at Earth

47:00 from space it looks like a big blue ball

47:04 [Music]

47:06 wow in addition the oceans and seas are

47:09 home to some

47:11 250,000 species of living things such as

47:14 animals and plants and there could still

47:17 be another 500,000 more to discover we

47:21 need to take care of all of

47:24 them

47:26 did you know that the oceans absorb heat

47:28 from the Sun and help regulate the

47:31 earth's

47:33 temperature the ocean's currents spread

47:35 the heat that oceans absorb around the

47:38 planet this helps regulate the climate

47:41 but watch

47:42 out the rising temperature of our planet

47:45 is also affecting the oceans by

47:48 threatening the survival of many animal

47:54 species in in addition pollution and

47:57 poor Waste Management are seriously

47:59 damaging our oceans and threatening

48:02 marine

48:04 ecosystems it is essential that we

48:06 address these environmental issues to

48:08 protect precious underwater

48:12 life we must not forget one key issue

48:18 fishing although it is a basic practice

48:20 that provides us with food we must do it

48:23 with great care illegal and excessive

48:27 fishing must stop as it not only affects

48:30 marine life but can also destroy and

48:33 damage marine

48:36 ecosystems in addition these changes

48:38 harm the economy and threaten the

48:40 livelihoods of millions of people who

48:43 depend on

48:46 them you too can help us reach this

48:50 goal it's up to us to leave beaches as

48:53 clean as we found them or even cleaner

48:56 This Way garbage won't end up in the

49:00 sea can you think of any other ways to

49:03 take care of the oceans see you

49:10 soon Hello friends today we are going to

49:14 continue talking about the sustainable

49:16 development goals let's talk about

49:18 number

49:19 15 life on land a fascinating topic join

49:25 me toar learn more about

49:27 it let's remember that an ecosystem is a

49:31 community of living beings and the

49:33 physical characteristics of the

49:35 environment where they live on planet

49:38 Earth there are many types of

49:40 ecosystems both Aquatic and

49:44 terrestrial today we will focus on the

49:47 latter those that take place on

49:50 land such as deserts jungles or forests

49:57 speaking of forests do you know why

50:00 these ecosystems are so

50:05 important the large masses of vegetation

50:08 and forests help to clean up air

50:10 pollution produced by

50:12 humans that's why they're called the

50:14 lungs of the

50:17 planet also more than 80% of all

50:20 terrestrial species of animals and

50:22 plants live in

50:24 forests

50:27 wow another important fact you should

50:30 know is that millions of people around

50:33 the world depend directly on forests for

50:36 their livelihoods whether for food

50:39 employment or other essential resources

50:41 for their daily

50:45 lives for these and other reasons the

50:48 United Nations has made protecting

50:50 terrestrial ecosystems one of the main

50:53 goals of sustainable development

50:59 due to human activity some 13 million

51:02 hectares of forest disappear every

51:06 year that's the equivalent of the entire

51:09 surface of Greece which is a

51:12 lot this is one of the reasons why it is

51:14 so important to regulate uncontrolled

51:18 logging we have to stop deforestation

51:21 [Music]

51:23 Now The Disappearance of forest

51:25 together with climate change and

51:28 overpopulation leads to a phenomenon

51:31 called

51:32 desertification what is this

51:37 desertification desertification happens

51:39 when lands that were once ferle become

51:42 Barren and plants can no longer grow

51:46 turning them into desert-like

51:48 areas we must stop

51:52 this in addition some activities such as

51:55 mass tourism or

51:58 poaching are endangering many of the

52:00 planet

52:04 species of all animal species known to

52:07 date 8% have

52:11 disappeared and 22% are in danger of

52:15 extinction we still have time to help

52:17 stop

52:18 [Music]

52:20 it so you may ask how can we

52:24 help

52:26 very easily by taking care of the

52:29 natural environment around

52:31 us respecting animals and

52:36 plants and not leaving litter in the

52:41 forests can you think of any other way

52:43 to take care of terrestrial

52:48 habitats Hello friends today we're going

52:52 to continue talking about the

52:53 sustainable development goals

52:55 we're going to talk about number 16

52:58 which deals with very very important

53:01 issues peace Justice and strong

53:05 institutions here we

53:09 go have you ever wondered what peace

53:13 is peace is a state of well-being and

53:17 Harmony within yourself and with others

53:20 it is a state of balance in which we all

53:23 get along without War or

53:27 conflict and Justice do you know what it

53:32 is Justice guarantees that everyone has

53:36 the same opportunities without

53:39 discrimination or Prejudice of any

53:43 kind to be just means to respect and

53:47 defend the rights of all people

53:51 equally to defend and preserve peace and

53:54 just Justice we need strong and solid

53:57 institutions that represent all citizens

54:03 equally problems such as War limited

54:07 access to Justice and weak institutions

54:10 threaten sustainable development and the

54:13 well-being of all

54:15 [Music]

54:17 people for this reason the United

54:20 Nations considers peace Justice and

54:23 strong institutions as was one of the

54:26 key objectives for sustainable

54:30 development living in a state of peace

54:32 is fundamental to anyone's

54:35 well-being however the number of

54:37 refugees from conflicts such as Wars

54:40 continue to increase every

54:43 year this situation is very serious and

54:47 endangers millions of

54:50 people can you imagine how difficult it

54:53 must be to live in a country at War

54:56 [Music]

54:57 War for example more than 25 million

55:02 schoolage children do not go to school

55:04 because they live in Conflict affected

55:08 areas we have to fix

55:11 this to improve this situation it is

55:14 important to reduce all forms of

55:16 violence and

55:19 Corruption institutions must do their
