SDGS AND SDGs Bangladesh Progress

SDG 1 •The progress on reducing extreme poverty measured by $1.90 a day or by national poverty line
BANGLADESH (LPL) is on track.
SDG2 •Progress on reducing stunting which stood at 36.1 per cent in 2014 is virtually on track at the
: PROGRESS current rate of reduction. Similarly, progress on reducing wasting which stood at 14.3 per cent is
also on track
AND SDG 3 U5MR (31 per thousand live births) and NMR (17 per thousand live births) have already reached

CHALLENGES their 2020 milestone targets (U5MR-34 and NMR-17) ahead of time. others are very close to
reach their goals
 SDGS AND BANGLADESH: PROGRESS
AND CHALLENGES
SDG 4 •Gender Parity Index (GPI) exceeded 1 at primary and secondary levels of education and has remained above 1 for more than a decade.
SDG 5 •The proportion of women aged 20-24 years who were married or in a union before age 15 years stood at 10.70 per cent and before age
18 years 47 per cent which registered some decline over time.
Bangladesh ranks 48 in global ranking of countries with a score of 0.721 In women empowerment.
SDG 6 •Bangladesh is moving steadfastly towards ensuring access of 100 per cent households to electricity well ahead of the target time in 2025;
it reached 85.3 per cent in 2017 (91% in 2018 December)
•The country lags behind in other energy indicators
SDG 7 •Bangladesh has made an upward shift in the average annual growth rate to more than 7 per cent in the recent years
SDG 8 •About 30% youth was not in education and employment (NEET). While the proportion of youth male NEET is closer to 10
% the proportion of youth female is closer to 50%. Both rates are higher than their levels in the preceding year which puts
them off-track.
SDG 9 •The road density per 100 square kilometer increased to 14.61 kilo meters in 2017 from 14.41 kilo meters in 2010
•The share of manufacturing value added in GDP has increased significantly already exceeding the 2020 milestone in
FY2017
SDG 10 •According to recent available data (HIES 2016) income inequality has increased while consumption inequality has
remained relatively stable.
SDG 11 •Nearly 44 per cent of the urban population lived in purely temporary structures and 29 per cent lived in semi-permanent
structures.
SDG 12 •An estimated 10 per cent of crop productivity in Bangladesh is lost during postharvest operations.
•About 5.5 per cent of the total procured food is wasted of which 3 per cent is wasted during procurement and preparation stage,
1.4 per cent during serving, and another 1.1 per cent from the plates.
SDG 13 •Number of deaths, missing persons and directly affected persons attributed to disasters per 100,000 population (Indicator 13.1.1)
have fallen over the years. Now it stands at 12,881 with a target of 6500 by 2020 and 1500 by 2030.

SDG 14 •Total protected area now stands at 2.05% of the marine area (Target 14.5). Major success has been achieved in Hilsa protection
with production almost doubling in last 15 years.
SDG 15 •The forest coverage of the country now stands at 17.5% which is targeted to increase to 20% by 2020.
SDG 16 •The number of victims of intentional homicide reduced significantly from baseline values. Appropriate measures
undertaken by the government of Bangladesh contributed significantly to improving human trafficking and youth mental and
physical abuse.
SDG 17 •Achieving SDGs will critically depend on the availability of resources including external resources. The need for enhanced
international cooperation and support has been emphasized for achieving 41 of the 169 targets of SDGs. International.

WHAT IS POLLUTION &TYPES OF POLLUTION.
Pollution occurs when an amount of any
substance (liquid, solid or gas) or any
form of energy such as heat, sound or
radioactivity is put into the environment
at a rate faster than it can be dispersed
or safely stored.

Pollution of all kinds can have negative

effects on the environment and wildlife
and often impacts human health and well
being
WHAT IS ENVIRONMENT POLICY:
• ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY OF A STATE REFERS TO THE DELIBERATE ACTIONS
TAKEN BY A STATE TO MANAGE THE ACTIVITIES OF THE POLLUTION WITHIN
THAT STATE IN ORDER TO PREVENT, REDUCE OR ALLEVICATE ANY HARMFUL
EFFECTS ON NATURE AND ITS NATURAL RESOURCES.THE ENVIRONMENT

 Recyclable Resources
Recyclable resources are goods or by-products that have the capability to be
naturally and organically replaced in a set time period. Resources that are
collected after being disposed of in a used or unused state, which are
reusable or reusable after reconditioning.
What are the recyclable resources :
Natural Recyclable resources
Recycling conserves natural resources, such as wood, water, minerals, and
fossil fuels, because materials can be reused. When we make new
products, we use resources like petroleum (to make plastic bags), iron ore
(to make steel cans), trees (to make paper), aluminum (to make cans).

Recyclable Energy
The main sources of renewable energy today are hydro, wind, solar,
geothermal and tidal. The contribution made by these sources to the
national energy budget varies from country to country.
How Bangladesh Sees Recycling Resources
• In the last three decades, waste volume doubled every 15 years. An
average of 55% of solid waste remains uncollected in urban areas, with
a variation of collection efficiency from 37% to 77%.
• Urban areas of Bangladesh generate 633,129 tons/year of plastic waste
and out of this, 51% plastic waste (which amounts 3,23,000 tons/year)
is being recycled.
• Waste Concern’s research finding shows that with improved recycling,
Bangladesh can save US$ 801 million every year.

Definition:
 The definition of land is the part of the surface of the
Earth that is solid ground and not water. An example
of land is the area where you are standing on the
ground right now. An example of land is the plot that
your house is located on
Characteristics:
 Land is fixed in supply
 Land doesn’t have any cost of production/ the earnings

of land are economic rent.

 It is a non-specific factor of production.
 The price of land does not affect the quantity available.
 Lack of mobility
