Week 4: International Framework of Sustainability Development

 

Assalamualaikum wbt,

How are you guys? Hope you are all in the mercy of Allah always.

As for week 4, we do not have an online class as usual, but the Prof gave us the recording instead. Prof. Dr. Suhaimi teaches about key conventions, declaration agreement, and the framework of sustainable development. Here's what I reflected on this class.

1. The first time governments addressed the issues of global environmental needs was when they gathered in Stockholm in 1972. The focus of the conference was international cooperation regarding the problems the Earth's environment was facing. there have been many global conferences held from 1970 to 2016.

-Rio Janeiro Conferences (1992)

-Kyoto Protocol (1997)

-Johannesburg (2002)

2. Sejahtera definition and its concept

: the word "sejahtera" means well-being, peaceful or free from all disturbance. But actually sejahtera is also an acronym for 

S-safety E-equilibrium J-justice A-amanah H-health T-tranquility E-empathy R-resilience A-affluence

After that, our lecturer elaborated on the definition and concept of Sejahtera. It describes a state of holistic well-being, harmony, and balance across all areas of life physical, mental, social, and environmental. The idea of Sejahtera is often linked to a peaceful and sustainable way of living, where individuals, communities, and nations thrive together with justice, fairness, and respect for the natural world.

Finally, Sejahtera represents the local expression of sustainable development. This can be observed through various initiatives such as community clinics and national policies in Malaysia, including the Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 and the Five Wisdoms of the Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan.
