Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a Framework for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 14(3), P. 1222 - 1222

Published: Jan. 21, 2022

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been an articulated practice for over 7 decades. Still, most corporations lack integrated framework to develop a strategic, balanced, and effective approach achieving excellence in CSR. Considering the world’s critical situation during COVID-19 pandemic, such is even more crucial now. We suggest subsuming CRS categories under Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) be used that they subsume CSR since SDGs are comprehensive agenda designed whole planet. This study presents new drivers model novel model. Then, it highlights advantages of integrating framework. The proposed benefits from both SDGs, addresses current future needs, offers better roadmap with measurable outcomes.

Countries are working into making agriculture more sustainable by integrating different technologies to enhance its operation. Implementing improvements in irrigation systems is crucial for the water-use efficiency and works as a contributor Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under United Nations specifically Goal 6 Target 6.4. This paper aims highlight contribution of SMART using Internet Things (IoT) sensory relation SDGs. The study based on qualitative design along with focusing secondary data collection method. Automated essential conservation water, this improvement could have vital role minimizing water usage. Agriculture farming techniques also linked IoT automation, make whole processes much effective efficient. Sensory helped farmers better understand their crops reduced environmental impacts conserve resources. Through these advanced soil weather monitoring takes place efficient management. Irrigation been determined positive toward optimized that use continuous research development which focus enhancing operations cost reduction. Lastly, challenges benefits implementation discussed. review will assist researchers provide an adequate approach would be sufficient carry out related activities.

Sustainable Agro-Food Systems for Addressing Climate Change and Food Security

Despite world food production keeping pace with population growth because of the Green Revolution, United Nations (UN) State Food Security and Nutrition in World 2022 Report indicates that number people affected by hunger has increased to 828 million 29.3% global insecure, 22% children under five years age stunted. Many more have low-quality, unhealthy diets micronutrient deficiencies leading obesity, diabetes, other diet-related non-communicable diseases. Additionally, current agro-food systems significantly impact environment climate, including soil water resources. Frequent natural disasters resulting from climate change, pandemics, conflicts weaken exacerbate insecurity worldwide. In this review, we outline knowledge alternative agricultural practices for achieving sustainability as well policies need be implemented an equitable distribution resources several goals UN 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development. According Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, animal husbandry, particularly ruminant meat dairy, accounts a significant proportion greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions land use but contributes only 18% energy. contrast, plant-based foods, perennial crops, lowest environmental impacts. Therefore, expanding cultivation perennials, herbaceous replace annual fostering climate-smart choices, implementing subsidies favoring efficient low impact, empowering women, adopting modern biotechnological digital solutions can help transform toward sustainability. There is growing evidence security adequate nutrition achieved using climate-smart, sustainable practices, while reducing negative impacts agriculture, GHG emissions.

Abstract Even though enormous expectations for greenhouse gas mitigation in the land use sector exist at same time worries about potential implications sustainable development have been raised as many Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are closely tied to developments sector. Here we assess of achieving selected key SDG indicators Zero Hunger, Clean Water and Sanitation, Responsible Consumption Production, Life on Land land-based climate change potential. We find that protecting highly biodiverse ecosystems has profound impacts biomass potentials (−30% >12 US dollar per gigajoule) while other SDGs mainly affect abatement potentials. Achieving delivers synergies with may even absence additional policies allow realize up 25% expected from required stay track 1.5 °C target until 2050.

Global cropland expansion over the last century caused widespread habitat loss and degradation. Establishment of protected areas aims to counteract habitats slow species extinctions. However, many also include high levels disturbance conversion for uses such as cropland. Understanding where why this occurs may realign conservation priorities inform area policy in light competing food security. Here, we use our global synthesis dataset quantify globally assess their relationship socio-environmental context. We estimate that occupies 1.4 million km2 or 6% area. Cropland across all management types, with 22% occurring strictly areas. inside is more prevalent countries higher population density, lower income inequality, agricultural suitability lands. While phenomenon dominant midnorthern latitudes, tropics subtropics present greater trade-offs due both biodiversity insecurity.
