“Around the world, sustainable peace
must be built on
sustainable development.
That is why I have said that the
sustainable development agenda is the
agenda for the 21st century.” United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat

Sustainability Sustainability calls for
a decent standard of living for everyone
today without compromising the needs of
future generations.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
4
Sustinability-1
This means finding better ways
of doing things; Such as:
How can we help people move out of
poverty and get good jobs, while
protecting the environment?
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
5
Sustainability-
How can we provide access to clean
energy for everyone, and make sure that
the energy we produce doesn’t contribute
to climate change?
How can we make sure that everyone can
get the water, food and nutrition they
need?
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
6
Sustainability --
How can we shape our cities so that
everyone can enjoy a decent quality of life?
How can we build better transportation
systems that allow us all to get where we
want to go, without causing too much
congestion and pollution?
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
7
Sustainability---
How can we make sure that our oceans
are healthy and that marine life is not
threatened by pollution and climate
change?
How can we make sure that our
communities are resilient in the face of
natural disasters?
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
8
Solving these challenges is a start to
building the future we want.
The Future we Want
The Future We Want: is an the
outcome document adopted at
Rio+20
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
11
What is "Rio+20"?
"Rio+20" is the short name for the United
Nations Conference on Sustainable
Development which took place in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil in June 2012 – twenty years
after the landmark 1992 Earth Summit in Rio.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
11
At the Rio+20 Conference, world leaders,
along with thousands of participants from
the private sector, NGOs and other
groups, came together to shape how we
can reduce poverty, advance social equity
and ensure environmental protection on
an ever more crowded planet.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
12
Why is Rio+20 important?
If we are to leave a liveable world
to our children and grandchildren,
the challenges of widespread
poverty and environmental
destruction need to be tackled
now.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
13
Why is Rio+20 important?-
The world today has 7 billion people – by
2050, there will be 9 billion.
One out of every five people – 1.4 billion
– currently lives on $1.25 a day or less.
A billion and half people in the world
don’t have access to electricity.
Two and a half billion people don’t have
a toilet.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
14
Why is Rio+20 important?--
Almost a billion people go hungry every
day.
Greenhouse gas emissions continue to
rise, and more than a third of all known
species could go extinct if climate change
continues unchecked.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
15
Final Agreement of Rio+20
World leaders approved the outcome document for Rio+20,
entitled
“The Future We Want”
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat

The Seven Ways to the future
1- Good Jobs
2- Sustainable Energy for All
3- Sustainable Cities
4- Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture
5- Water for the World
6- Oceans
7- Disasters
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
19
1- Good Jobs
Economic recession has taken a major toll on both the quantity and quality of jobs. There are currently 190 million people unemployed and more than 500 million will be looking for jobs over the next 10 years . Economic and social policies to create gainful employment are critical for a well-
balanced society.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
21
Work should be geared to the needs of the natural environment. “Green jobs” in agriculture, industry, services and administration contribute to preserving or restoring the environment.
Green jobs also help ensure biodiversity, reduce energy consumption, de-carbonize the economy, and minimize of all forms of waste and pollution.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
21
Good Jobs : Facts and figures
1.3 billion earn less than of $2 per day,
which means poverty for them and their
independents.
More than 2.3 million green jobs have
been created in the renewable energy
sector in recent years.
Agriculture is still the single largest
employer in the world.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
22
2- Sustainable Energy for All
Energy is central to nearly every major
challenge and opportunity the world faces
today. Be it for jobs, security, climate change,
food production or increasing incomes,
access to energy for all is essential.
Sustainable energy is opportunity – it
transforms lives, economies and the planet.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
23
Facts and figures
One in five people still lacks access to modern
electricity.
3 billion people rely on wood, coal, charcoal or
animal waster for cooking and heating.
Energy is the dominant contributor to climate
change, accounting for around 60 per cent of total
global greenhouse gas emissions.
Reducing the carbon intensity of energy is a key
objective in long-term climate goals.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
24
3- Sustainable Cities
Many challenges exist to maintaining cities in a way that continues to create jobs and prosperity while not straining land and resources.
Common city challenges include congestion, lack of funds to provide basic services, a shortage of adequate housing and declining infrastructure.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
25
The challenges cities face can be overcome in ways that allow them to continue to thrive and grow, while improving resource use and reducing pollution and poverty.
The future we want includes cities of opportunities, with access to basic
services, energy, housing, transportation and more for all.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
26
Cities: Facts and figures
Half of humanity – 3.5 billion people – live in cities today.
By 2030, almost 60 per cent of the world’s population will live in urban areas.
95 % of urban expansion in the next decades will take place in developing world.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
27
828 million people live in slums today and the number keeps rising.
The world’s cities occupy just 2 per cent of the Earth’s land, but account for 60-80 per cent of energy consumption and 75 per cent of carbon emissions.
Rapid urbanization is exerting pressure on fresh water supplies, sewage, the living environment, and public health.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
28
4- Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture
It is time to rethink how we grow, share and
consume our food. If done right, agriculture,
forestry and fisheries can provide nutritious
food for all and generate decent incomes,
while supporting people-centred rural
development and protecting the environment.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
29
But right now, our soils, freshwater, oceans,
forests and biodiversity are being rapidly
degraded. Climate change is putting even
more pressure on the resources we depend
on, increasing risks associated with disasters
such as droughts and floods. Many rural
women and men can no longer make ends
meet on their land, forcing them to migrate to
cities in search of opportunities.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
31
A profound change of the global food and
agriculture system is needed if we are to
nourish today’s 925 million hungry and the
additional 2 billion people expected by 2050.
The food and agriculture sector offers key
solutions for development, and is central for
hunger and poverty eradication.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
31
The Zero Hunger Challenge has 5 objectives:
1. 100% access to adequate food all year round. 2. Zero stunted children under 2 years, no more
malnutrition in pregnancy and early childhood. 3. All food systems are sustainable. 4. 100% growth in smallholder productivity and income,
particularly for women. 5. Zero loss or waste of food, including responsible
consumption.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
32
5- Water for the World
Clean, accessible water for all is an essential part of the world we want to live in.
There is sufficient fresh water on the planet to achieve this. But due to bad economics or poor infrastructure, every year millions of people, most of them children, die from diseases associated with inadequate water supply, sanitation and hygiene.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
33
Water scarcity, poor water quality and inadequate sanitation negatively impact food security, livelihood choices and educational opportunities for poor families across the world. Drought afflicts some of the world's poorest countries, worsening hunger and malnutrition.
By 2050, at least one in four people is likely to live in a country affected by chronic or recurring shortages of fresh water.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
34
Facts and figures
1.7 billion people have gained access to safe drinking water since 1990, but 884 million people are still without.
2.6 billion people lack access to basic sanitation services, such as toilets or latrines.
Each day, an average of 5,000 children die due to preventable water and sanitation-related diseases.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
35
Hydropower is the most important and widely-used renewable source of energy, representing 19 per cent of total electricity production worldwide.
Approximately 70 per cent of all available water is used for irrigation.
Floods account for 15 per cent of all deaths related to natural disasters.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
36
6- Oceans
The world’s oceans drive global systems that make the Earth habitable for human.
Our rainwater, , climate, coastlines, much of our food, and even the oxygen, are all ultimately provided and regulated by the sea.
Careful management of this essential global resource is a key feature of a sustainable future.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
37
Facts and figures
Oceans cover three quarters of the Earth’s surface, contain 97 % of the Earth’s water, and represent 99 % of the living space on the planet by volume.
Over 3 billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
38
Oceans contain nearly 200,000 identified species, but actual numbers may lie in the millions.
Oceans absorb about 30 per cent of carbon dioxide produced by humans, buffering the impacts of global warming.
Oceans serve as the world’s largest source of protein, with more than 2.6 billion people depending on the oceans as their primary source of protein.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
39
Marine fisheries directly or indirectly employ over 200 million people.
Subsidies for fishing are contributing to the rapid depletion of many fish species and are preventing efforts to save and restore global fisheries and related jobs As much as 40 % of the world oceans are heavily affected by human activities, including pollution, depleted fisheries, and loss of coastal habitats.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
41
7- Disasters Disasters have devastating impacts on people, environments and economies.
But resilience – the ability of people and places to withstand these impacts and recover quickly – remains possible. Smart choices
help us recover from disasters.
These choices relate to how we grow our food, where and how we build our homes, how our financial system works, what we teach in schools and more.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
41
Facts and figures
More than 226 million people are affected
by disasters every year.
From 2000 to 2010, economic damage as
a result of disasters amounted 1 trillion $.
Less than 0.7 per cent of total relief aid
goes to disaster risk reduction.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
42
Of the 33 cities that will have at least 8
million residents by 2015, 21 are in coastal
areas.
Women and children are 14 times more
likely to die than men during a disaster.
More than 680,000 people died in
earthquakes between 2000 and 2010 due
mainly to poorly-built buildings.
Dr. Ahmed-Refat AG Refat www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
43
Since 1980, drought and associated famine
have claimed nearly 558,000 lives and
affected more than 1.6 billion people.
On average, 102 million people are
affected every year by floods, 37 million
people by cyclones, hurricanes or
typhoons, and nearly 366,000 by
landslides.
