Solutions and Best Practices at the Individual, Local, National, and International Level.<\/strong><\/h2>\nIn the previous lectures we learned about sustainability, sustainable development, and the sustainable development goals and how currently, all countries are working on the achievement of the UN 2030 Agenda. Over the past 7 weeks we have looked closer at the 17 SDGs and how they work together at the local and international level to help promote a shared global framework to achieve a fair, equitable, and sustainable future for all.\n

Achieving the SDGs<\/h3>\nTo achieve the SDGs, the next step is planning and implementation. This week we will be looking at implementing the SDGs with local, national, and international collaboration a critical component to the success of the 2030 Agenda.\n

Videos<\/h3>\nIn this 11-minute video made available from the SDG Academy, Jeffery Sachs looks at creating Sustainable Development Plans or Strategies at the country level. These strategies use the SDGs as an endpoint from which to plan backward to the current day. The premise is, if we take stock of where we are and know where we want to be in 2030, we will need a roadmap and the will to implement it.\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/8OMi6DS9M-Y\n\nIn this 10-minute video made available from the SDG Academy, Jeffery Sachs emphasizes the role of the stakeholder, specifically looks at transnational cooperation for success in achieving the SDGs.\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/YflsgwaDnr4\n\nIn this 16-minute video, made available from the SDG Academy, Jeffery Sachs discusses overcoming the globalization of indifference, understanding the moral case and urgency for sustainable development, and achieving global cooperation for the Sustainable Development Goals.

Recommended Reading<\/strong><\/h2>\nSDG implementation at the national level \u2013 Canada\n\nPreviously we learned how the 17 SDGs, with their 169 targets and 230+ indicators work together. We also learned the different scales of SDG implementation \u2013 at the global, national, and local level.\n\nTo support Canada's domestic implementation of the SDGs, the Government of Canada has committed to a national strategy, Moving forward together: Canada's 2030 Agenda National Strategy. <\/em>\u00a0As well, the Canadian Indicator Framework (CIF) for the Sustainable Development Goals encompasses the 17 goals and adds 31 Canadian Ambitions. In order to report on these Ambitions, Statistics Canada has developed 76 indicators that monitor progress on the National Ambitions and targets. The CIF lays the foundation for Canada to track and report on its progress on the 17 SDGs in the Canadian context.\n
