Week 7: Roles of Institutions for Sustainable Development (SDG 16 & 17)

-

Assalamualaikum and hey!! Welcome back to my blog. So, today I have learnt on a new topic which is the Roles of Institutions for Sustainable Development (SDG 16 & 17).

As we already know, in order to achieve all SDGs, first, we need to make sure of these 2 goals which are Goal 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions) and Goal 17 (Partnership for the Goals). Goal 16 promotes peaceful and inclusive for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. Meanwhile, Goal 17 aims to strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development. But however, in the class today, we mainly focused on Goal 17 only.

SDG 17 targets are broken down into five categories and each target has several indicators:

  1. Finance - Debt service as a proportion of exports of goods and services.
  2. Technology - Number of services and/or technology cooperation agreements and programmes between countries, by type of cooperation.
  3. Capacity-building - The dollar value of financial and technical assistance (including through North-South, South-South and triangular cooperation) committed to developing countries.
  4. Trade - Developing countries' and the least developed countries' share of global exports.
  5. Systemic Issues - Number of countries with the mechanism in place to enhance policy coherence of sustainable development.

Next, I would like to share on how to implement SDGs in our life by watching the video below.


I would also like to share what are the possible things that you guys can do as an individual in achieving SDGs. One of them is by applying 3Rs. By reducing, reusing and recycling, we can help reduce the number of waste produced in a day. Other than that by always turning off the lights to prevent much consumption of energy. Last but not least, always use the bike, walk or take public transport to go wherever places. It also can save your money for the car's oil.

I think that is all for today's sharing session. See you in the next post!!

Assalamualaikum and hey!! Welcome back to my blog. So, today I have learnt on a new topic which is Maqasid Al-Shariah & Sustainable Development. So first of all, what is Maqasid Al-Shariah? Maqasid Al-Shariah involves realizing the human well-being by enhancing welfare, or benefit (maslahah) of the people on one hand and preventing harm (mafsadah) on the other. Maqasid Al-Shariah also promotes and protects the well-being of people and nature. There are 5 fundamental objectives of Maqasid Shariah (Objectives of Islamic Law) which are; Hifz Al-Din (Religion) Hifz Al-Nafs (Life) Hifz Al-'Aql (Intellect) Hifz Al-Nasb (Lineage) Hifz Al-Mal (Wealth) To gain a better understanding of the Maqasid Al-Shariah, you can watch this video. Actually, the Maqasid Al-Shariah and the 5Ps where we had learnt in the first week, have a quite similar relationship as you can see in the picture below.     Maqasid As-Shar’iah (HIFZ) Equivalent  ‘Ps’ (Themes) in SDG Related SDGs Some Relevant ...
