TOWARD GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP AND
MODELS/ ALTERNATIVES
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability- meeting our own needs
without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs
- “Can we do it over and over again,
forever?”
Sustainable development (EES)
• Economic growth

STABILITY VS SUSTAINABILITY
by Sebastian Plociennik
Stability- short term firmness in position,
permanence and resistance to change,
especially in disruptive way.
Sustainability- considers the long-term
capacities of a system to exist, not its
short-term resistance to change.
Is globalization sustainable?
! The current version of globalization is
unsustainable for a number of reasons:
1. How Westerner live and consume-
kailangan ng dalawang earth. Marami
silang fossils na nagagamit
2. World’s richest comprising one
percent of the population- beneficial to
some people
3. Commodification of world’s
resources- scarce
5 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
1. Degrowth/ “Buddhist Economics”
- advocates for lesser or slower
macroeconomic growth as a way to
achieve sustainable development
- “rich people should live simply so others,
human and non-human, may simply live.”
- emphasizes the need to reduce global
consumption and production
- advocates a socially just and ecologically
sustainable society with “well-being as
the indicator of prosperity, instead of
GDP.”
Bhutan- happiness index; happiest
country
2. Pachamama socialism – Latin
America: “Mother Earth”
- wants modernization for nations but not
at the expense of the environment
- Bolivia (2011)- passed a law to protect
and give rights to the environment
3. Buen vivir
Quecha people’s concept of Sumak
kawsay, a way of doing things that is
“community-centric, ecologically balanced
and culturally-sensitive”
- community/ economic growth
- harmony
- “We are the stewards of the earth.”
- Ecuador- same with Bolivia
4. Green Business
• Tesla, solar panels
5. China’s solar panels and wind
turbines
 “The first essential component of social
justice is adequate food for all mankind.
Food is the moral right of all who are born
in this world.” – Norman Borlaug, Nobel
Laureate
The 2020 (Global Health Index) GHI
shows that while the world has made
gradual progress in reducing hunger on a
global scale since 2000, this progress
has been too slow.

4 INDICATORS OF THE GLOBAL
HUNGER INDEX:
1. Share of the population that is
undernourished
2. Share of children under the age of five
who are wasted
(i.e., acute undernutrition - who have
low weight for their height)
3. Share of children under the age of five
who are stunted
(i.e., chronic undernutrition- who have
low height for their age)
4. Mortality rate of children under the age
of five
KEY FACTS ON FOOD LOSS AND
WASTE
 Every year, about 1.3 billion tons of
food for human consumption, or
nearly 1/3 of food produced in the
world, gets wasted or lost.
 Developed and developing countries
relatively dissipate the same
quantities of food – 670 million
tons and 630 million tons,
respectively.
 Consumer in rich countries waste
about 22 million tons of food each
year.
 In Europe and North America,
around 95-115 kg of food is wasted
per capita per year
 Whereas in sub-Saharan Africa,
South and Southeast Asia, food
waste equals 6-11 kg per capita.
FOOD LOSS AND WASTE
DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: Food loss
and waste are usually linked with the lack
of infrastructure in harvesting,
processing, storing and transporting
food supplies.
DEVELOPED COUNTRIES: Food loss
and waste often attributed to consumer
behavior and preference.
5 PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS AGAINST
FOOD WASTE accdg. to Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO)
1. Strengthening the supply chain
through the direct support of farmers and
investments in infrastructure,
transportation, as well as expansion of the
food packaging and industry.
2. Farmer-buyer agreements
3. Raising awareness among industries,
retailers and consumers as well as finding
beneficial use for food that is presently
thrown away are useful measures to
decrease the number of losses and waste.
4. Bill on reducing food waste through
food donation and food waste
recycling.
5. Food waste to foodwise
GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION
!!! "Ongoing global challenges are
impacting all. Solutions require thinking
and acting beyond national borders.”
Global Citizenship- a way of living that
recognizes our world is an increasing
complex web of connections and
interdependencies…a world in which our
choices and actions may have
repercussion for people and communities
locally. nationally, or internationally.
 - cultivates respect and harmony
among world citizens in terms of
the political, economic,
environmental, and sociocultural
aspects. (PESE)
#LEARN-THINK-ACT PROCESS
LEARN- malawak yung pag unawa kasi
magkakaiba tayo ng culture, cultural
consciousness, different identities,
religion, races, values and traditions
abortion, braid,
pero not all differences like brutality, etc.=
THINK
ACT- Have you ever imagined the world
50 years from now?
A GLOBAL CITIZEN SHOULD:
1. Understand the complexity of our
interconnected world
2. Understand our biggest challenges
3. Know their social, ethical, and political
responsibilities- civic duties, pagboto,
obligation sa ibang tao
4. Display leadership and teamwork
5. Solve problems through innovation and
entrepreneurship- willing to act
To be effective global citizens, we need to
be able to solve problems, make
decisions, think critically, communicate
ideas effectively, and work well with other-
collaboratively
International Solidarity- idea of primarily
serving one's community and nation, while
at the same time trying to help from other
countries by sharing resources and
expertise to greatest extent possible.

UNESCO offers the Global Citizenship
Education (GCED) program for the
period of 2014-2021
- SDG 4- Education
“ensure that all learners are provided with
the knowledge and skills to promote
sustainable development, including among
others, through education for sustainable
development and sustainable lifestyle,
human rights, gender equality, promotion
of a culture of peace and non-violence,
global citizenship and appreciation of
cultural diversity and of culture’s
contribution to sustainable development

BENEFITS OF GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP
EDUCATION (Oxfam, Int'l NGO)
 gives meaning to learning by
making it exciting and grounded in
real life situations
 allows children to combat
ignorance and intolerance by
challenging misinformation and
stereotypes against the South
 recognizes individual power,
especially its influence in our
choices and in bringing positive
change through collective effort
