on the 100% utilization of the 5% agency budget dedicated for the DRMM and CCA
activities at the LGU Level, 100% utilization of the 5% LDRRMF for the implementation
of DRRM response-CLUP and CDP related activities. This shall likewise have covered
DRMM and CCA mainstreamed in various plans (CDP and CLUP), laws, policies, and/or
ordinance enacted. Local DRRM councils and offices creation and functions

DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Learning Outcomes
• Familiarize the millennium development goals and sustainable
development goals of United Nations
• Relate MDGs and SDGs to disaster risk reduction and management
as well as climate change adaptation

INTRODUCTION

In September 2000, leaders of 189 countries gathered at the United

Nations headquarters and signed the historic Millennium Declaration, in
which they committed to achieving a set of eight measurable goals that
range from halving extreme poverty and hunger to promoting gender
equality and reducing child mortality, by the target date of 2015.

Disaster risk reduction cuts across different aspects and sectors of

development. There are 25 targets related to disaster risk reduction in 10
of the 17 sustainable development goals, firmly establishing the role of
disaster risk reduction as a core development strategy.

ANALYSIS
The SDGs build on the successes of the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs), which embodies specific targets and milestones in eliminating
extreme poverty and the worst forms of human deprivation. The SDGs
expanded its scope to 17 goals from the eight (8) goals in the MDGs,
which covers universal goals on fighting inequalities, increasing economic
growth, providing decent jobs, sustainable cities and human settlements,
industrialization, tackling ecosystems, oceans, climate change, sustainable
consumption and production as well as building peace and strengthening
justice and institutions. Unlike the MDGs, which only targets the
developing countries, the SDGs apply to all countries whether rich, middle
or poor countries. The SDGs are also nationally owned and country-led,
wherein each country is given the freedom to establish a national
framework in achieving the SDGs.

ABSTRACTION

Millennium Development Goals

In September 2000, leaders of 189 countries gathered at the United

Nations headquarters and signed the historic Millennium Declaration, in
which they committed to achieving a set of eight measurable goals that
range from halving extreme poverty and hunger to promoting gender
equality and reducing child mortality, by the target date of 2015.
At the Millennium Summit in September 2000, the largest gathering
of world leaders in history adopted the United Nations Millennium
Declaration, committing their nations to a new global partnership to
reduce extreme poverty and setting out a series of targets, with a
deadline of 2015.

The first MDG targets the poor directly—those living on less than one
dollar a day—while the next six focus on the underlying causes of
poverty, such as lack of access to education, health care, and
employment; gender inequality; poor housing conditions; and
environmental degradation. The eighth goal is to develop a global
partnership for development and focuses on how the industrialized
countries can work with the poorer countries to enhance the latter’s
standard of living.

In a world already undergoing dangerous climate change and other

serious environmental ills, there is also widespread understanding
that worldwide environmental objectives need a higher profile
alongside the poverty-reduction objectives.

FROM MDGs to SDGs

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon’s high-level global sustainability

panel, appointed in the lead-up to the Rio+20 summit in June 2012, has
issued a report recommending that the world adopt a set of Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).

Why SDGs?

The idea of the SDGs has quickly gained ground because of the
growing urgency of sustainable development for the entire world.
“Sustainable development” - development that meets the needs of the
present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their
own needs

Sustainable development embraces the so-called triple bottom line

approach to human wellbeing.

TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE APPROACH

Triple bottom-line concept of sustainable development: adapted from Klarin (2018)

The SDGs should therefore pose goals and challenges for all countries—
not what the rich should do for the poor, but what all countries together
should do for the global wellbeing of this generation and those to
come.
Sustainable Development Goals: What do they mean for disaster
risk reduction?

Disaster risk reduction cuts across different aspects and sectors of

development. There are 25 targets related to disaster risk reduction in
10 of the 17 SDGs, firmly establishing the role of disaster risk reduction
as a core development strategy.

Targets related to promoting education for sustainable development

under SDG# 4, such as building and upgrading education facilities and
ensuring healthy lives, as well as targets under SDG#11 (cities) and
under SDG# 9 (building resilient infrastructure) reaffirm the
interrelationship between disaster risk reduction and sustainable
development. amongst others can be cited.
APPLICATION

Explain the “triple-bottom approach” in sustainable

development.
