What Will You Learn From This Module?

In this module, we will differentiate

the competing conceptions of
globalization by identifying the
underlying philosophies of the
varying definitions of globalization.
We will also agree on a working
definition of globalization for the
course. As we enter a new normal
since we are under the rage of this
global pandemic, we will also discuss
the effect of this COVID-19 effect on
us as we visualize the aftermath of
this tragedy. We will also know the
good effect as we continue learning
and adjusting from this new
beginning as we empower ourselves
to move forward with high hopes and
uplifted morale.

As we continue working with this module, we will also have the opportunity to debrief ourselves
as we gather our thoughts, we will be able to free our minds from the losses and create a new path
to success.

Join the class as we open the door for this new CONTEMPORARY WORLD.

Before We Begin
What is your experience with the COVID Scare? How did you adjust from this new normal? Can
you differentiate your life before this pandemic in comparison to this new normal? These are some
of the questions that until now, you failed to discuss with your parents, classmates, and significant
others. We are emotionally affected by this global issue. And guess what, this is also part of this
subject, CONTEMPORARY WORLD. We are all social creatures that every change that occurs
in our society affected us as well. We see the DOMINO EFFECT of each tragedy and glory,
economically, physically, and psychologically. These are the adjustments we need to partake, just
like what we are doing right now, we are now avoiding face to face educational system. We
stopped meeting in the classroom settings and take a modular or online learning method. These
are now part of contemporary learning to understand the subject matter.

Lesson 1: Introduction to the Study of Globalization
Objective
The goal of this module is to;

a. Understand the purpose of globalization.

b. Learn the effects of globalization.
c. Awareness of social issues that affects the decision and how can we respond to the given
situations.
d. Recall history that brought us globalization.
e. Take advantage of the current-status provided by our technology as the basis of learning.

The Gift of the Pandemic

What do you think is the most vital story of
this year 2020? The Corona Virus Disease
2019 or (COVID-19). And, the economy,
political and geographical is very much
affected by this global issue. This is also the
reason why we need to study globalization.
Our world depends on what is the current
issue and decision depends on how we can
give solutions to the global problems Take
not that this global tragedy is only part of the
globalization study and it will be expanded
on how we will be able to understand each
situation. Despite that we are having this
pandemic scare, we were able to make use of
the technology for us to gain opportunities in
different aspects. We are now prioritizing
our health and make sure that we are safe to
assure our significant others will be out of
danger. We value money and disregard other
expenses, instead, we make sure that our
expenses will be sufficient for the entire
family. We become wiser in decision making
and we capitalize on technology as the
platform for the economy and seek
opportunity in the growth of sales and keep
touch with clients and suppliers. This is the
gift of the pandemic, we learn how to adjust
and show the world that we can survive.

Globalization’s Purpose
Globalization's purpose is to complement more
objective or technical globalization narratives with
more direct accounts of social and emotional issues.
These refer to the previous and present issues that
this world is experiencing. We are not here to give
justification or to give judgment, rather we unveil
and learn from the said process.

There are recurrent economic and political crises that

have global repercussions that demand new
approaches seeking perspectives that cross
organizational, geographic, and cultural boundaries
that may aid in reducing misunderstandings and
diminish the negative aspects of globalization. The
global financial crisis has only emphasized the need
to develop local solutions in a global environment
and at the same time to search for global solutions to
common problems. New approaches are required
that demonstrate an appreciation of the 'local' in
particular political, economic, social, cultural, and
geographic contexts, while simultaneously
promoting effective change in response to pressing
global issues.

A. What is New about Globalization?

Globalization is a very broad concept not only concerning the diversity of regions, cultures, and
actors but also concerning the diversity of analytical approaches that can be employed to study it.
The articles in this book embrace the need to cover a variety of aspects and dimensions of
globalization, and to see both its local and its global manifestations. From our perspective,
globalization studies imply research that is not just limited to the most popular spheres of economic
and political globalization but also includes the study of global problems such as climatic change,
cultural globalization, and so on.

Globalization is a cultural phenomenon. It’s reflected in contemporary artwork and population

migration and linguistic changes. the world today experiences widespread global economic
interdependence. In modern society, every day there is discovery and development such as the
internet, social media, etc. Humans have the never-ending goal of developing the needs of
scientific research and answer to the need of human beings. The growth of the economy, socio-
political needs and graphical location, reduction of waste, and renewable energy are some of the
examples of the effects of globalization.

 B. Taking a Systems View
We can experience globalization as a process that is all around us. It affects us through the products
we consume, when we travel, and in our study and work life. It can be overwhelming and complex
as well when we try to understand it comprehensively. Who are involved or players in
globalization:

a. National Government
b. Organizations
c. Institutions
d. Individuals
e. Customs and Traditions
f. and numerous variety of players

The scope is beyond anybody’s control, at the same time, it is important to analyze the process and
not to translate the events as general conclusions. Influences and features of globalization are based
on the following:

a. Environment
b. History
c. Demography
d. Government System
e. Adaptability (Positive or Negative)

The Role of Government

1. The creation of new infrastructure and other
facilities to attract foreign investment.
2. Prevent losses or reduce the financial crisis
and create a growth impact on capital flows.
3. Empowering labor forces and avoid
exploitation over manpower.
4. Protect domestic infant industries to
empower domestic businesses to compete
internationally.

Organization and the Environment

Organization and Globalization

Organizations – groupings of people in society

that come together for specific purposes – have
an impact on the natural environment and the
natural environment, in turn, influences
organizations.

United Nations

The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945. It is currently made

up of 193 Member States. The mission and work of the United Nations are guided by the
purposes and principles contained in its founding Charter.
Due to the powers vested in its Charter and its unique international character, the United Nations
can take action on the issues confronting humanity in the 21st century, such as peace and security,
climate change, sustainable development, human rights, disarmament, terrorism, humanitarian and
health emergencies, gender equality, governance, food production, and more.

The UN also provides a forum for its members to express their views in the General Assembly,
the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, and other bodies and committees. By
enabling dialogue between its members, and by hosting negotiations, the Organization has become
a mechanism for governments to find areas of agreement and solve problems together.

Environment and Globalization

Those who support this bleak view
of globalization argue it creates global
competition, resulting in a boost in economic
activities that deplete the environment and
its natural resources. The increased economic
activity leads to greater emissions of
industrial pollutants and
more environmental degradation

 C. Defining Globalization through Theories of Globalization
Globalization' is a favorite catchphrase of
journalists and politicians. It has also
become a key idea for business theory and
practice and entered academic debates. But
what people mean by 'globalization' is often
confused and confusing. Here we examine
some key themes in the theory and
experience of globalization. (Globalization:
Theories and Experience 2019, Mc Graw)

8 Theories in Globalization

1. Theory of Liberalism

The Globalization of Liberalism

demonstrates that liberalism is more deeply
embedded in the structure of modern
international political and economic order
than is usually realized and that at present
there is a contested process of the
'globalization of liberalism'. As well as
exploring liberalism's usefulness for
understanding how international relations
work, the contributors offer critical
perspectives on the liberal structure of
modern international society and place
international liberalism into a global context
by examining responses to liberalism in
China, India, and the Middle East. (Hovden,
E., Keene, E., www.palgrave.com)

12
CW00: Contemporary World

 2. Theory of Political Realism

Realism is an approach to the study and practice of

international politics. It emphasizes the role of the
nation-state and makes a broad assumption that all
nation-states are motivated by national interests, or,
at best, national interests disguised as moral
concerns.

At its most fundamental level, the national interest is

generic and easy to define: all states seek to preserve
their political autonomy and their territorial integrity.
Once these two interests have been secured,
however, national interests may take different forms.
Some states may have an interest in securing more
resources or land; other states may wish to expand
their own political or economic systems into other
areas; some states may merely wish to be left alone.
(Hans J. Morgenthau, "Six Principles of Political
Realism, https://www.mtholyoke.edu/)

3. Theory of Marxism

If one believes the traditional Marxist theory of the

dynamics and destiny of capitalism, then there is
little need for an elaborate normative theory of the
alternatives to capitalism. The problem of socialism
can be left to the pragmatic ingenuity of people in the
future. It is for this reason that Marxists traditionally
have believed an elaborate positive normative theory
was unnecessary. The normative dimension
of Marxism has thus primarily taken the form of the
critique of capitalism as a social order characterized
by alienation, exploitation, fetishism, mystification,
degradation, immiseration, the anarchy of the
market, and so on. The transcendence of capitalism
by socialism and, eventually, communism, was then
posited as the simple negation of these features, an
implicit and undefended theoretical utopia that
simply eliminated all the moral deficits of capitalism:
a society without alienation, exploitation, fetishism,
and the rest. (Cain, 2001)

13
CW00: Contemporary World
Prepared by: Melville A. Maniego
 4. Theory of Constructivism

Constructivism is a very broad conceptual

framework in philosophy and science and Bruner’s
theory represents one particular perspective.

Bruner's constructivist theory is a general framework

for instruction based on the study of cognition. Much
of the theory is linked to child development research
(especially Piaget ). The ideas outlined in Bruner
(1960) originated from a conference focused on
science and math learning. Bruner illustrated his
theory in the context of mathematics and social
science programs for young children (see Bruner,
1973). The original development of the framework
for reasoning processes is described in Bruner,
Goodnow & Austin (1951). Bruner (1983) focuses
on language learning in young children.

A theory of instruction should address four major aspects: (1) predisposition towards learning, (2)
how a body of knowledge can be structured so that it can be most readily grasped by the learner,
(3) the most effective sequences in which to present material, and (4) the nature and pacing of
rewards and punishments. Good methods for structuring knowledge should result in simplifying,
generating new propositions, and increasing the manipulation of information.

5. Theory of Postmodernism

Postmodernism, also spelled post-

modernism, in Western philosophy,
a late 20th-century movement
characterized by broad skepticism,
subjectivism, or relativism; a general
suspicion of reason; and
an acute sensitivity to the role
of ideology in asserting and
maintaining political and economic
power. (Brian Duignan, )

14
CW00: Contemporary World
Prepared by: Melville A. Maniego
 Many postmodernists hold one or more of the following views: (1) there is no objective
reality; (2) there is no scientific or historical truth (objective truth); (3) science and
technology (and even reason and logic) are not vehicles of human progress but suspect
instruments of established power; (4) reason and logic are not universally valid; (5) there
is no such thing as human nature (human behavior and psychology are socially determined
or constructed); (6) language does not refer to a reality outside itself; (7) there is no certain
knowledge; and (8) no general theory of the natural or social world can be valid or true (all
are illegitimate “metanarratives”).

6. Theory of Feminism

Feminist epistemology and philosophy of

science study how gender does and ought to
influence our conceptions of knowledge,
knowers, and practices of inquiry and
justification. It identifies how dominant
conceptions and practices of knowledge
attribution, acquisition, and justification
disadvantage women and other subordinated
groups, and strives to reform them to serve
the interests of these groups.

Various feminist epistemologists and philosophers of science argue that dominant

knowledge practices disadvantage women by (1) excluding them from inquiry, (2) denying
them epistemic authority, (3) denigrating “feminine” cognitive styles, (4) producing
theories of women that represent them as inferior, or significant only in the ways they serve
male interests, (5) producing theories of social phenomena that render women’s activities
and interests, or gendered power relations, invisible, and (6) producing knowledge that is
not useful for people in subordinate positions, or that reinforces gender and other social
hierarchies. Feminist epistemologists trace these failures to flawed conceptions of
knowledge, knowers, objectivity, and scientific methodology. They offer diverse accounts
of how to overcome these failures. They also aim to (1) explain why the entry of women
and feminist scholars into different academic disciplines has generated new questions,
theories, methods, and findings, (2) show how gender and feminist values and perspectives
have played a causal role in these transformations, (3) promote theories that aid egalitarian
and liberation movements, and (4) defend these developments as epistemic advances.
(https://plato.stanford.edu/)

7. Theory of Trans-Formationalism
15
CW00: Contemporary World
Prepared by: Melville A. Maniego
 A political theory that emphasizes
assimilation as a process of global cultural
convergence. (biology, historical)
A theory proposed by Robinet in the
18th century that posits a single, created
prototype for all species of plants and
animals. The belief in the transformative
power of Confucian culture as a superior
system that can be universally applied to all
people. So long as late
Qing transformationalism based on
allegiance to Confucian values prevailed, the
grounds nationalists were seeking for uniting
those identified as "Chinese" against those
identified as "Manchus", "Mongols,"
"Uigurs," "Tibetans," and even Chinese
Muslims. (Fogel, 2005)

8. Theory of Eclecticism

In philosophy and theology, the practice of selecting

doctrines from different systems of thought without
adopting the whole parent system for each doctrine.
It is distinct from syncretism—the attempt
to reconcile or combine systems—since it leaves the
contradictions between them unresolved. In the
sphere of abstract thought, eclecticism is open to the
objection that insofar as each system is supposed to
be a whole of which its various doctrines are
integral parts, the arbitrary juxtaposition of doctrines
from different systems risks a fundamental
incoherence. In practical affairs, however,
the eclectic spirit has much to commend it.

What Will You Learn From This Module?

In this module, it aims to explain regionalism and idealism, the reason why most of people having
difficulty to understand and sometimes leads to discrimination. The content of this module will be
the following;

a. The Upside of Globalization

b. The Good and Bad of Globalization

Objective:
 Demonstrate proficient and effective communication (writing, speaking, and use of new
technologies)
 Use basic concepts across the domains of knowledge
 Demonstrate critical, analytical, and creative thinking
 Apply different analytical model in problem-solving

Let’s Begin

The Upside of Globalization

The Interdependence of Global Trade

Globalization is a cultural phenomenon. It's reflected in

contemporary artwork and population migration and
linguistic changes. Where, the world today, as
symbolized by our international felt melange, experiences
widespread global economic interdependence. Now, of
course, economic interdependence and the accompanying
cultural borrowing are nothing new. , the scale of this
trade has increased dramatically.

18
CW00: Contemporary World
Prepared by: Melville A. Maniego
 1. Multinational corporations have global reach and increasing power.
2. Travel and shipping are cheap and safe. It took about two months to cross the
Atlantic in 1800. Today it takes about five hours by plane and less than a week by
ship.
3. Governments have decreased tariffs and regulations on international trade, leading
to what is sometimes called euphemistically ”free trade.”

The Nature of Global Trade

We need to understand more about the nature of this
trade. the Industrial Revolution and the industrial
western powers produced most of the manufactured
goods, which were then sold in international markets
but domestic consumption was extremely important.
Today, former non-industrialized parts of the world
had been manufacturing consumer goods for
domestic markets and primarily for foreign markets.
International manufacturing is always finding new
markets.

Advantages of Globalization
In 2012 our global economy increased tremendously giving more opportunities such as labor
production and financial growth. Gross Domestic Income went high and more people learn how
to invest. Manufacturers from the First World Country transferred their factories internationally
and allowed workers to secure good working conditions.

Other Advantages of Globalization

 Access to New Cultures. Globalization
makes it easier than ever to access foreign
culture, including food, movies, music, and
art.
 The Spread of Technology and Innovation.
 Lower Costs for Products.
 Higher Standards of Living Across the Globe
 Access to New Markets
 Access to New Talent

Disadvantages of Globalization

Globalization opened the gates for development and we were able to take advantage of those
opportunities. Somehow, we also experienced the downside of globalization.

Challenges of Globalization

 International Recruiting
 Managing Employee Immigration
 Incurring Tariffs and Export Fees
 Payroll and Compliance Challenges
 Loss of Cultural Identity
 Foreign Worker Exploitation
 Global Expansion Difficulties
 Immigration Challenges and Local Job Loss

Globalization has Changed Us

Globalization changed us, and practically we benefit from this. We now have easier access to the
food that we put on our table. The choices of clothes to wear. The variety and accessories we
store in our shelter. Preservation of life. Access over the World Wide Web, multimedia, and
entertainment. All of this is a product of globalization.
Even the language we speak was also transformed and we are technically reform.

 Module 3: Digital Thumbprint

What Will You Learn From This Module?

Digital Thumbprint is a discussion about the real

world and the digital world. In every action that we
create in the digital platform, there will be an impact
on our reality. We will be able to learn more of
ourselves, how to protect ourselves, the correct
values and virtues, as we learn more from our
previous experience and the process of correcting our
methods. With this tool, we will help everyone to
figure out our responsibility as a user of digital prints
and as well with our ability to protect ourselves from
any form of abuse.

We will discuss the following in this module;

a. Digital Mindfulness
b. Digital Impact
c. Digital Transformation

After studying this module, you should be able to:

1. Being aware of the value of your information as a currency.

2. Understanding why being mindful of your information matters.
3. Equipping oneself on protecting one’s information online.
4. Being aware of the positive and negative impact on posts.
5. Understanding the importance of our intentions when posting.
6. Choosing to create a positive impact online.

Digital Mindfulness

Your information is valuable. If some of the

biggest companies in the world make billions
of dollars by selling our information, then we
want to know what’s happening to it.
“So today we will become more aware of the
importance of our info, and how we can keep
it secure. This way, we can gain digital
mindfulness.”

How do sites make money?

Social media companies sell advertising. Because of the information that they have, they can
target a specific audience where they can post their ads. Advertising on a social media
platform is way more powerful than traditional advertising (TV, print ad, and radio).

1. Sign-up: What information do we give a social

media site when we sign up?
2. Sell to advertisers: Social Media Platforms take our
information and use it to allow advertisers to reach
their target audience with precision. They can more
accurately target their customers.
3. Advertisers pay: Advertisers pay social media
sites and other similar services to put ads on
users’ pages. Have we seen them?
4. Free service: Because the advertisers pay for
social media, we can get a great service free of
charge, instead we pay with our information.
(NB: Even when you use false information, you
use the website in a way that means a consumer
profile can be built of you. So even if you tell a
social media site that you're a 50-year-old male
when you're a 13-year-old female, they'll be able
to tell by your friends, your likes, the pages you
look at the most, etc., that you might be interested
in things that a typical 13-year-old girl might be
interested in.)

Terms of Service
Has anyone ever read the terms of service of any site
before? Why not?
• Too difficult to understand
• Too boring
• Doesn’t mean anything anyway
• No one else reads them
Companies have to cover a huge range of circumstances and liabilities in their ToS; they’re not
trying to trick you, but it’s just an essential part of what YouTube is: a global business.
When we acknowledge and agree with the ToS, we give full authority to social media apps.

What do we give out when we sign up for any social media app?

Our Information!
Our information is valuable. It’s what makes money
for some of the biggest companies in the world, but
it is also really valuable to us.

Overview: Digital Impact:
1. Being aware of the positive and negative
impact on posts.
2. Understanding the importance of our
intentions when posting.
3. Choosing to create a positive impact online.

Proper and Improper Social Media Posts

The world of social media is a giant web of interactions. We connect with our friends and family
through each post and message from our phones and computers. This goes without saying that
what we post and say online has meaning for others. Some people may view our posts as
appropriate and positive, while others may see our posts as negative, or even harmful.
In this module entitled Digital Impact, we will begin with examples to make us aware of what is
proper and improper to post on social media.

Cyber-Bullying on Lizzie Velasquez

Lizzie Velasquez: a cyberbullying victim-turned activist. She goes to schools and
posts videos advocating against cyberbullying. Lizzie was born with a rare
syndrome which prevents her from gaining weight. She grew up being bullied for
her appearance.
However, she took a stand against bullying and became an inspiration to others.
She became a motivational speaker and an influencer as she promotes anti-bullying.
More than advocating against cyberbullying, she encouraged thousands of people online to
discover for themselves what it means to be beautiful, and to have a positive impact online
We can pick up four key ideas from her video.

1. Think before you tweet.

2. Think before you share
3. Think before you like.
4. And let’s add think before you comment.

Proper Posting
The internet and social media can also become a place to share stories of real people showing acts
of kindness from returning a book, to working with people to help others.
A single intention can create a world of impact.
A single post, no matter the intention, can mean different things to others. Take the example of
this netizen who complained about her work:

Sharing with Your Friends and Sharing

with the World
The internet and social media is a place to
create either a positive or negative impact. It
can be an avenue to share positivity. When
people post irresponsibly, it can cause harm
to others.
When we share with our friends and families,
we are also sharing with the world. Think of
who will reach your post. Are you creating a
positive or a negative impact on your posts?

Creating the Right Impact

1. Understand the Situation: Making
sure you're not misinterpreting a
situation is important but you'll also
never regret asking if things are okay.
2. Spread positivity - This can be
public or private depending on the
situation, either can have a positive
impact on the friend in question. This
is different from just creating more
drama. Private messaging is a good
way to let someone know that you're
concerned, without exacerbating the
problem in a public forum. Public
messaging is a good way to spread
positivity to people online.

 3. Be Part of the Solution: We have the
freedom to connect with others
through the internet, and we have the
responsibility to keep healthy
connections with our fellow netizens.
When there is something wrong
online, let’s do our best to respond
and help one another.
4. Know the power of our words. We
must be aware of what we say
because our words and actions can
hurt others, offline, and online.

Recap of Digital Thumbprint

1. Digital Mindfulness – Being aware of the value of
our information, and how it has become a currency.
2. Digital Impact – Being mindful that what we do
online creates impact.

Technology and Human Connection

Technology connects us with those who
matter.

a. You can reach someone from

anyway, as long as you both have
internet and phones.
a. Through Social Media Applications,
can express your emotions through
reactions to a post or a comment.
b. Social media has amplified our
capacity to be with those who matter
by making us more connected.

The Good Effect of Technology
a. Creativity and freedom of expression
b. Socialization and relationship-building
c. Independence and empowerment
d. Problem solving and perseverance
e. Freedom of information
f. Instill an entrepreneurial spirit
g. Creates jobs

Community and Moving Forward

1. It takes a community to move the nation forward, but it also takes a community to move it
backward.
2. Our ancestors have relied on making connections to survive as a community. Now,
technology has made it easier for us to connect, but when we forget why we have
technology on a community level, then we have lost track of the path to solidarity.
 We can’t be one as a nation if we are not connected as a community.
 Our abuse of technology has led us to commit a collective wrong. Let’s use
technology to build towards a collective right.
 Before we are users and consumers of technology, we are caregivers and
stakeholders of our community and our nation.

Using Technology to Our Advantage

How do we use technology to improve
ourselves and to amplify our
communities?

By having the right attitude towards technology:

1. Choosing to connect rather than create

disconnections.
2. Make use of our time in giving to others instead of
taking from others.
3. Respecting others and being open to new
possibilities.

 Lesson 1: Global Citizenship

A global citizen is someone who is aware of and

understands the wider world – and their place in it.
They take an active role in their community and work
with others to make our planet more peaceful,
sustainable, and fairer.

Global citizenship is all about encouraging young

people to develop the knowledge, skills, and values
they need to engage with the world. And it's about
the belief that we can all make a difference. –
(www.oxfam.org.uk)

Education for global citizenship is not an additional subject - it's a framework for
learning, reaching beyond school to the wider community. It can be promoted in class
through the existing curriculum or through new initiatives and activities.

Global citizenship helps young people to:

 Build their own understanding of world events.

 Think about their values and what's important to them.
 Take learning into the real world.
 Challenge ignorance and intolerance.
 Get involved in their local, national, and global communities.
 Develop an argument and voice their opinions.
 See that they have the power to act and influence the world around them.

The Global Classroom

Given the interconnected and interdependent nature of our world, the global is not 'out there'. Our
links to people and places on every continent mean the global is part of our everyday lives:
 Socially and culturally through the media and telecommunications, and through travel and
migration.
 Economically through trade and international finance.
 Environmentally through sharing one planet.
 Politically through international relations and systems of regulation.

Global Citizenship involves and what is not.

Global citizenship is defined as. “awareness,

caring, and embracing. cultural diversity
while promoting social. justice and
sustainability, coupled with. a sense of
responsibility to act”.

Global citizens have an impact on ending

extreme poverty through the actions they
take. The effects of small actions are not
always obvious, but by working together
specific and tangible outcomes are
achieved. Global citizens' voices influence
world leaders and decision-makers and
contribute to shaping our world.

GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP IT IS NOT...

INVOLVES...
asking questions and critical thinking telling people what to think and do
exploring local-global connections and our only about faraway places and peoples
views, values, and assumptions
exploring the complexity of global issues and providing simple solutions to complex issues
engaging with multiple perspectives
exploring issues of social justice locally and focused on charitable fundraising
globally
applying learning to real-world issues and abstract learning devoid of real-life application
contexts and outcomes
opportunities for learners to make informed, tokenistic inclusion of learners in decision-
reflective action and have their voices heard making
all ages too difficult for young children to understand
all areas of the curriculum an extra subject
enrichment of everyday teaching and learning just a focus for a particular day or week
the whole-school environment limited to the classroom

Getting to know the Sustainable Development Goals
In September 2015 Heads of State and Government agreed to set the world
on a path towards sustainable development through the adoption of the 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development[1.1]. This agenda includes 17
Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, which set out quantitative
objectives across the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of
sustainable development — all to be achieved by 2030. The goals provide a
framework for shared action "for people, planet, and prosperity," to be
implemented by "all countries and all stakeholders, acting in a collaborative
partnership." As articulated in the 2030 Agenda, "never before have world
leaders pledged common action and endeavor across such a broad and
universal policy agenda."[1.2] 169 targets accompany the 17 goals and set
out quantitative and qualitative objectives for the next 15 years. These targets
are "global in nature and universally applicable, taking into account different
national realities, capacities and levels of development and respecting
national policies and priorities."[1.3] A set of indicators and a monitoring
framework will also accompany the goals. The indicators are defined by the
Inter-Agency and Expert Group on SDG Indicators (IAEG-SDGs), which
will present its recommendations to the UN Statistical Commission in March
2016.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals form a
cohesive and integrated package of global aspirations
the world commits to achieving by 2030. Building on
the accomplishments of their predecessors the
MDGs, the SDGs address the most pressing global
challenges of our time, calling upon collaborative
partnerships across and between countries to balance
the three dimensions of sustainable development —
economic growth, environmental sustainability, and
social inclusion[1.i].
