5.7. OUR ROLE IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

        A nation is made by its people living there which means we all have to contribute our bit to protect our air, water
        and land from pollution through our joint efforts.

        Below are some of the efforts required by the people to help attain these Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

        5.7.1. Quality Education

        Education gives you knowledge related to many things that you
        come across in your daily life. Quality education will provide a strong
        foundation with financial security. This will improve their standard of
        living and will give them a way to move out of poverty. It will enlighten
        the youth to contribute in all possible ways for the social and economic
        development of their community which is another important factor to
        fulfill many other related sustainable development goals.

        5.7.2. Clean Water and Sanitation

        Clean water for drinking and adequate sanitation is the basic human right. We have seen in this COVID times that
        access to water, sanitation and hygiene services is the basic requirement to fight against the COVID virus which is
        an urgent need of the time for preserving the health and well-being of millions.

        Pollution from the industries, open defecation practices are polluting the water resources thus causing a lot of
        diseases in the people living in that area.


        5.7.3. Affordable and Clean Energy

        This focuses on investing in clean energy sources such as solar, wind and thermal at affordable prices. This is
        an initiative of preserving renewable energy sources, reducing greenhouse effect, reducing harmful smog, toxic
        buildups in our air and water. All these will help in reducing our impact on climate change and creating a sustainable
        energy future.

        5.7.4. Decent Work and Economic Growth

        People with decent jobs will benefit the society by being productive and will contribute to the economic growth of
        the country. Unemployment can lead to unrest and anti-social activities will increase in the society.

        5.7.5. Reduced Inequalities

        Inequalities based on income, sex, age, disability, race, religion and opportunity will slow down the process of
        social and economic development of the society.  Greater efforts at all levels are needed to educate people which
        in turn will reduce inequalities, poverty and hunger.

        5.7.6. Sustainable Cities and Communities

        For our societies and countries to prosper at present and in future we all need to have cleaner, greener and modern
        sustainable cities.


        5.7.7. Responsible Consumers and Producers
        Responsible consumers are conscious of their consumption habits and contribute to a more positive impact on society
        and the environment. from the producers of goods and services. Producers should go for production of goods with
        negative environmental impacts such as soil, water, greenhouse gas emissions and degradation of ecosystems.
