M3 Individual Assignment: Sustainable Development Goals Exercise

I‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‌‍n 2015, when the Sustainable Development Goals were established, no one could have fully predicted the COVID-19 pandemic that emerged in 2020. The pandemic makes us just that much more aware of how important it is to continue to work toward goal attainment. Specifically linked to COVID-19 is Goal 3 Good Health and Well Being, and Goal 10 Reduced Inequalities.

As the UN points out on their Sustainable Goals website: “Using the latest data and estimates, this annual stocktaking report on progress across the 17 Goals shows that it is the poorest and most vulnerable – including children, older persons, persons with disabilities, migrants and refugees – who are being the hardest hit by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Women are also bearing the heaviest brunt of the pandemic’s effects” (United Nations, 2020, Sustainable Development Goals Report, para 4). Please review The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2020 (PDF, 16.9MB), paying special attent‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‌‍ion to Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being (see pages 28-31 specifically). After reading through pages 28-31 of the report, identify what you think is the most pressing issue noted as it specifically relates to COVID-19 in the world today.

Explain why you selected your identified issue. Next, using the integrated perspectives approach outlined in Chapter 2 of the Cox and Pawar text, describe how each of the four elements of the integrated perspectives approach can be used to guide work to tackle Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being in light of the implications of COVID-19. Remember: The global perspective represents the overall context; The human rights perspective provides the value base; The ecological perspective demonstrates the link between humanity and the natural environment; The social development perspective guides action and a sense of direction. The paper should be 1-2 pages and follow APA formatting. In-text citations and full references should b‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‌‍e provided.
