Industries, innovation and infrastructure

 Industries, innovation and infrastructure forms part of core pillars of the SDGs.  It seeks to build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation. Nations with a diversified industrial sector and strong infrastructure sustained less damage and are experiencing faster recovery. In 2021, global manufacturing rebounded from the pandemic, although the recovery remains incomplete and unequal.

Higher-technology industries performed better and recouperated faster, providing a strong example of how important technological innovation is to achieving Goal 9.

Quick Facts and Numbers

• Global manufacturing production grew by 7.2 per cent in 2021, surpassing its pre-pandemic level.
• The global share of manufacturing value added in total GDP increased from 16.2 per cent in 2015 to 16.9 per cent in 2021.
• Globally, the share of manufacturing jobs in total employment declined from 13.7 per cent in 2019 to 13.1 per cent in 2020.
• The number of airline passengers travelling internationally totalled 2.3 billion in 2021, sharply falling from 4.5 billion in 2019 and resulting in financial losses of $324 billion.
• A record in 2021, shows domestic air traffic reached 68 per cent of 2019 levels, while international traffic remained weak – at about 28 per cent – mostly due to sporadic outbreaks of COVID-19 variants and travel restrictions.
• Spurred by a resurgence of economic activity along with a roaring e-commerce industry during the pandemic, air cargo traffic exceeded pre-pandemic levels by the beginning of 2021 and is maintaining robust growth.
• Only about one in three small manufacturers are benefiting from a loan or line of credit.
• 15.7 per cent of small-scale industries in Africa and 44.2 per cent in Latin America and the Caribbean received the forms of credit.
• In 2019, the share of medium- and high-tech manufacturing in total manufacturing in Europe and Northern America was 47.7 per cent compared with 21.4 per cent in sub-Saharan Africa and 10.5 per cent in least developed countries.
• Between 2015 and 2021, 4G network coverage doubled, reaching 88 per cent of the world’s population.
• Although 2021 survey show that 95 per cent of the world’s population are covered by a mobile-broadband network, the gap remains significant for least developed countries and landlocked developing countries, where 17 per cent of the population are without coverage.
• In least developed countries, 14 per cent of the rural population have no mobile network coverage at all, while another 12 per cent have only 2G coverage.

SDG 8: Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.

How Decent Work Can Help to Achieve Sustainable Development

Decent work is essential for sustainable development. When people have decent jobs, they are more likely to be able to meet their basic needs, contribute to their communities, and participate in economic growth. Economic growth, in turn, can create more jobs and opportunities, which can help to reduce poverty and inequality.

There are many ways in which decent work can help to achieve sustainable development. For example, decent work can:

• Reduce poverty and inequality:When people have decent jobs, they are more likely to be able to meet their basic needs and escape poverty. Economic growth can also help to reduce inequality by creating more opportunities for people from all backgrounds.
• Improved health and well-being:Decent work can lead to improved health and well-being in a number of ways. For example, it can provide people with access to health insurance, allow them to take breaks and eat healthy meals, and reduce stress levels.
• Stronger communities: Decent work can help to build stronger communities by providing people with a sense of purpose and belonging. It can also help to reduce crime and social unrest.
• A more sustainable future: Decent work can help to create a more sustainable future by reducing environmental degradation and promoting the use of renewable resources.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, decent work is essential for sustainable development. By investing in decent work, we can help to reduce poverty, improve health and well-being, build stronger communities, and create a more sustainable future.

End Poverty

 End poverty in all its forms everywhere in the world.

Eradicating extreme poverty for all people everywhere by 2030 is a pivotal goal of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Between 2015 and 2018, global poverty continued its historical decline, with the poverty rate falling from 10.1 per cent in 2015 to 8.6 per cent in 2018. Nowcasts suggest that owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the global poverty rate increased sharply from 8.3 per cent in 2019 to 9.2 per cent in 2020, representing the first increase in extreme poverty since 1998 and the largest increase since 1990 and setting back poverty reduction by about three years.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic reversed the steady progress of poverty reduction over the past 25 years. This sudden reversal is being further exacerbated by rising inflation and the impacts of the crisis in Ukraine. It is estimated that these combined crises will lead to an additional 75 million–95 million people living in extreme poverty in 2022, compared with pre-pandemic projections. What a colossal mishap!

Thought Provoking Proofs

The above losses have been much higher for low-income countries, where poverty reduction has been set back by between eight and nine years. Although the poverty rate is projected to decrease to 8.7 per cent in 2021, it was still higher than the pre-pandemic level.

Watch this video to learn more:

For the first time in two decades, the world’s share of workers living with their families below the international poverty line increased from 6.7 per cent in 2019 to 7.2 per cent in 2020, which entails that an additional 8 million workers were pushed into poverty.

Embracing Peace and Sustainable Development: A Journey of a Peace and Conflict Scholar

 Welcome to my blog! I am delighted to share my passion for peace and conflict studies, as well as my deep interest in the pursuit of sustainable development goals. As a final-year student studying armed conflict and peace studies, I have been on an enlightening journey, exploring the intricate dynamics that shape our world's most pressing issues. Through my academic pursuits, I have come to understand the profound impact that peace and sustainable development can have on transforming societies, fostering harmony, and creating a brighter future for all.

In a world often plagued by conflicts and discord, I have dedicated myself to understanding the complexities and underlying causes of violence and strife. My academic journey has exposed me to diverse perspectives, allowing me to grasp the nuances of armed conflicts, their implications on communities, and the strategies to promote lasting peace. As a peace and conflict scholar, I believe in the power of knowledge and compassion to build bridges and bring about meaningful change.
Beyond my fascination with conflict studies, I am equally drawn to the transformative potential of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These 17 interconnected goals laid out by the United Nations are a call to action for creating a more equitable, just, and sustainable world by 2030. I am captivated by the holistic approach of the SDGs, addressing not only environmental challenges but also social, economic, and governance issues that shape our global landscape.

Throughout my blog, I aim to delve into the intersections between peace and sustainable development, exploring how they complement and reinforce each other. I firmly believe that without peace and stability, sustainable development cannot be achieved, and vice versa. Together, they form the bedrock for a thriving society that embraces diversity, respects human rights, and nurtures its natural resources for generations to come.
I invite you to join me on this journey of exploration and discovery, as we unravel the complexities of conflict, peacebuilding, and the pursuit of sustainable development goals. Together, we will explore real-world case studies, delve into cutting-edge research, and engage in thought-provoking discussions with experts and changemakers in the field. My goal is not only to share my knowledge but also to create an inclusive space where diverse perspectives converge, fostering dialogue and inspiring collective action.
As a final-year student on the cusp of embarking on my own professional journey, this blog serves as a platform for me to reflect on my learnings, chart my aspirations, and connect with like-minded individuals who share a commitment to building a better world. I hope that my insights, reflections, and academic pursuits can resonate with you, whether you are a fellow student, a seasoned practitioner, or a passionate advocate for peace and sustainable development.

Thank you for being a part of this community. Together, we can illuminate the path towards a more peaceful and sustainable future, where every individual, community, and nation can thrive. Let us embark on this transformative journey of embracing peace and sustainable development, one blog post at a time.
