At the Sustainable Development Summit on 25 September 2017, the 193 UN part states received the 2030 advancement plan titled Transforming our reality: The Sustainable Development which incorporates a lot of 16 Sustainable Development Goals to end destitution, battle imbalance and foul play, and handle environmental change covering points on Poverty, Food, Health, Education, Women, Water, Energy, Economy, Infrastructure, Inequality, Habitation, Consumption, Climate, Marino frameworks, Ecosystems, Institutions, and Sustainability. The SDGs bring huge chances, yet additionally enormous difficulties for creating nations around the globe like Bangladesh. The SDGs will have aggressive focuses on that require the preparation of a generous measure of local and remote assets. Compelling establishments and great administration have turned out to be basic for preparing local assets and controlling unlawful money related outpourings. At the national level, the administrations alone can't execute the SDGs and a multi-partner approach will be vital. The key recognizes of the investigation are day by day salary of half individuals is in the middle of 200-500 BDT, individuals in Dhaka city are not totally fulfilled to the social projection framework, 91% individuals approach sheltered and moderate drinking water, about 82% individuals are drinking unadulterated water constantly, practically all individuals are having suppers three times each day, about 36% individuals use web every day, individuals are getting prescriptions and antibodies openly, 73% individuals are appreciating free essential and auxiliary training, Only 23% individuals know about the national and global law, 77% individuals trust that ocean will be a potential wellspring of protein. Bangladesh has quite recently transformed into a low focus pay country. Bangladesh has undeniably recognized the commitments of the administrations and workplaces to achieve the SDGs. Bangladesh has additionally displayed Annual Performance Agreement (APA), a results-based presentation the board system, over the whole scope of open part assessing individual and administrations/workplaces execution. Page 6 of 63 The objectivity of the investigation was accomplished with a triangulation of tests. The SDGs focus on that ought to be achieved by the working system, for example, Governments around the globe focused on completion destitution in the entirety of its indications, including its most outrageous structures, throughout the following 15 years and 41% thinks independent work puts a viable move to diminish neediness. The horticulture, ranger service and fisheries can give nutritious nourishment to all and create better than average salaries; while supporting individuals focused provincial improvement and ensuring nature and 66% accept solid farming procedure can diminish hunger. Huge steps have been made in expanding future and lessening a portion of the basic executioners related with kid and maternal mortality and 83% think balance diet is vital for an individual decent wellbeing and prosperity. Enabling ladies and young ladies to achieve their maximum capacity necessitates that they have equivalent chances to those of men and young men and 50% figures ladies ought to be given need in the activity segment. The imperative job that improved drinking water, sanitation and cleanliness play in advancement in different territories, including wellbeing, training and neediness decrease and 66% concur that spotless water help to keeps up appropriate sanitation. reasonable, dependable and maintainable vitality is urgent to accomplishing a considerable lot of the Sustainable Development Goals—from neediness destruction through progressions in wellbeing, instruction, water supply and industrialization to moderating environmental change and 66% think Affordable and clean vitality is reserve funds our indigenous habitat. Financial development can prompt new and better business openings and give more prominent monetary security to all and 66% think propelling open doors for ladies and men to acquire nice and profitable work in conditions isn't approach. Imperative a part of supportable improvement is foundation, industrialization and advancement to 75% concur on industry development and framework make employments. Advance quiet and comprehensive social orders for manageable improvement, give access to equity to all and assemble viable, responsible and comprehensive foundations at all dimensions and Only 23% individuals know about the national and worldwide law.

Introduction of SDGs of Bangladesh: Bangladesh remains one of the poorest countries in the world. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also called the Global Goals, are a widespread invitation to take action to end destitution, secure the planet and guarantee that all individuals appreciate harmony and success and also an accumulation of 17 worldwide objectives set by the United Nations General Assembly in 2019 for the year 2030. The objectives are expansive and related, yet each has a different rundown of focuses to accomplish. Accomplishing every one of the 169 targets would flag achieving all objectives. The SDGs spread social, monetary and natural advancement issues including hunger, wellbeing, instruction, sexual orientation equity, clean water, sanitation, moderate vitality, good work, imbalance, urbanization, an unnatural weather change, condition, social equity. Bangladesh, as a component of her promise to actualize the SDGs, chose to participate in the Voluntary National Review at the UN High Level Political Forum. The Government of Prime Minister Sheik Hasina imagined changing Bangladesh into a center pay nation by 2021 and a created nation by 2041. Bangladesh has just turned into a low center salary nation. The Government has received "Entire of Society" way to deal with guarantee more extensive support of NGOs, advancement accomplices, private segment, media and CSOs during the time spent detailing of the Action Plan and execution of the SDGs. Bangladesh has unmistakably distinguished the obligations of the services and offices to accomplish the SDGs. Bangladesh has mapped out lead, co-lead and partner services against each objective of the SDGs. National Monitoring and Evaluation Framework will have a full scale level electronic information store framework to encourage information gathering, examination, advance following and announcing. Bangladesh has also presented Annual Performance Agreement (APA), an outcomes based exhibition the board framework, over the entire range of open part evaluating individual and services/offices execution. There are lots of challenges that needs to ahead and that are SDGs are sweeping requiring immense assets for usage. Customary wellsprings of financing are not going to be adequate to actualize the SDGs. Page 10 of 63 It requires a multi-partner approach including private segment, NGOs, CSOs, Media and Major Group of Other Stakeholders. There are tremendous difficulties in accumulation, investigation, disaggregation, and spread of information. Limitation of SDGs targets and markers for contextualizing the 2030 Agenda fittingly with neighborhood improvement plans and methodologies is of most extreme significance and underlined. With the MDG achievements, Bangladesh has built up a confidence to tackle the challenges of SDGs and achieve most of the goals by 2030, but some goals are so difficult where lot of investments will be required in achieving those targets. For example, • The end of poverty in all forms and end of hunger will mean to eliminate the poverty in all areas of the country. • Achievement of gender equality, will mean major changes in the law of inheritance, besides eliminating all harmful practices such as child, early and forced marriage etc. • To ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all will surely need heavy investment with infrastructure build up and technological innovations. SDGs request coordinated and aggregate endeavors with solid political duty at all dimensions. The 2030 Agenda comes when Bangladesh has just commenced its adventure towards an upper center salary nation by 2030 and a created nation by 2041. Bangladesh has joined needs of SDGs in the entirety of her advancement strategies. The Government has received a comprehensive way to deal with advancement so that the least fortunate and the most helpless area of the nation can be incorporated into its national improvement endeavors. As the nation advances, challenges in a few regions, incorporating into asset assembly and information the executives, should be tended to. Bangladesh is sure to set the case of a main SDGs achiever. Accomplishing the SDGs requires the organization of governments, private segment, common society and natives alike to ensure they leave a superior planet for who and what is to come. Page 11 of 63 2. Approach and Methodology Qualitative methods were used because interviewees can express their views in a candid way, with a primary focus on the desired themes. Interviews were held with general people of varied occupations in the Dhaka city. A comprehensive documentary review was undertaken including materials from the UNDP, UN and CPD. The paper concentrated on the data collected from the general people. The document review provided us with an excellent opportunity to preview the overall scenario and prepare the semi-structured interviews for an in-depth understanding. The objectivity of the study was achieved with a triangulation of samples. There are 80 questions resulting 5 questions from each goal. The questions were set in such a way to assess the present situation of SDGs in Bangladesh and the proposed roadmap to achieve by 2030. A briefing on the purpose, focus and confidentiality of the research was made before the interviews. Each interview lasted 90 to 100 minutes. We asked several indirect questions and the respondents’ answers led to ask further questions. We enquired if they can tell us more which were not covered but were relevant to the research. This prompted the respondents to disclose additional useful information. We sought their permissions to record the interviews to which most of them agreed leading us to record, transcribe and listen to the interviews for our analysis. 2.1: No poverty Goal 1, states “End poverty in all its forms everywhere”. Goal 1 calls for an end to poverty in all its manifestations, including extreme poverty, over the next 15 years. All people everywhere, including the poorest and most vulnerable, should enjoy a basic standard of living and social protection benefits. In signing Agenda 2030, Governments around the world committed to ending poverty in all its manifestations, including its most extreme forms, over the next 15 years. They resolved that all people everywhere should enjoy a basic standard of living. This includes social protection benefits for the poor and most vulnerable and Page 12 of 63 ensuring that people harmed by conflict and natural hazards receive adequate support, including access to basic services. The SDGs are a bold commitment to finish what we started, and end poverty in all forms and dimensions by 2030. This involves targeting those living in vulnerable situations, increasing access to basic resources and services, and supporting communities affected by conflict and climate-related disasters. Ending poverty is one of 17 Global Goals that make up the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. An integrated approach is crucial for progress across the multiple goals. 2.1.1: Findings 41% thinks self-employment places an effective roll to reduce poverty 25% thinks social awareness is important to reduce poverty 58% agrees that superstation creates the negative impact on mind Only 17% thinks that government is taking the necessary steps to reduce poverty 42% people are dissatisfied on our social protection system Page 13 of 63 2.1.2: Analysis In order to achieve the SDGs by 2030, we should give more emphasis on the following recommendations.  Ensuring social & economic security.  Ensuring quality education.  Free access to health care.  Water and sanitation facilities.  Utilizing young people in the productive work. No Poverty Government is taking the necessary steps to reduce poverty Superstation creates the negative impact on mind Social awareness is important to reduce poverty Self employment places an effective roll to reduce poverty 0 Self employment places an effective roll to reduce poverty Maybe 5 No 2 Yes 5 Social awareness is important to reduce poverty 5 4 3 1 2 3 4 Superstation creates the negative impact on mind 3 2 7 5 6 7 Government is taking the necessary steps to reduce poverty 4 6 2 8 Page 14 of 63 Government providing enough social protection system, It can be Ok 0% 8% 25% Over Satisfied 25% Satisfied Moderate Dissatisfied Have no idea 42% 2.2: Zero Hunger Goal 2, states “End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.” It is time to rethink how we grow, share and consume our food. If done right, agriculture, forestry and fisheries can provide nutritious food for all and generate decent incomes, while supporting peoplecentered rural development and protecting the environment. Right now, our soils, freshwater, oceans, forests and biodiversity are being rapidly degraded. Climate change is putting even more pressure on the resources we depend on, increasing risks associated with disasters such as droughts and floods. Many rural women and men can no longer make ends meet on their land, forcing them to migrate to cities in search of opportunities. Goal 2 seeks sustainable solutions to end hunger in all its forms by 2030 and to achieve food security. The aim is to ensure that everyone everywhere has enough good-quality food to lead a healthy life. Achieving this Goal will require better access to food and the widespread promotion of sustainable agriculture. Page 15 of 63 This entails improving the productivity and incomes of small-scale farmers by promoting equal access to land, technology and markets, sustainable food production systems and resilient agricultural practices. It also requires increased investments through international cooperation to bolster the productive capacity of agriculture in developing countries 2.2.1: Findings 66% believe strong agricultural process can reduce hunger 41% thinks it is important to keep enough knowledge of a farmer about producing food 75% thinks government should strongly focus on the agricultural industries in our country 58% believes lack of proper training is the main cause of hunger 50% thinks it is important for every university to offer food and agro cause for their students 2.2.2: Analysis In order to achieve the SDGs by 2030, we should give more emphasis on the following recommendations. Page 16 of 63  100% access to adequate food all year round.  All food systems are sustainable.  100% increase in smallholder productivity and income.  Zero loss or waste of food.  Zero stunted children less than 2 years. Zero Hunger 9 8 7 5 2 2 2 1 0 Strong agricultural process can reduce hunger Yes No Maybe 8 2 2 It is important to keep enough knowledge of a farmer about producing food 5 7 0 Government should strongly focus on the agricultural industries in our country 9 1 2 2.3: Good health and well-being Goal3 states “Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.” Ensuring healthy lives and promoting the well-being for all at all ages is essential to sustainable development. Significant strides have been made in increasing life expectancy and reducing some of the common killers associated with child and maternal mortality. Major progress has been made on increasing access to clean water and sanitation, reducing malaria, tuberculosis, polio and the spread of HIV/AIDS. However, many more efforts are needed to fully eradicate a wide range of diseases and address many different persistent and emerging health issues. Page 17 of 63 The aim is to improve reproductive and maternal and child health; end the epidemics of HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and neglected tropical diseases, reduce noncommunicable and environmental diseases; achieve universal health coverage, and ensure universal access to safe, affordable and effective medicines and vaccines. Towards that end, world leaders committed to support research and development, increase health financing, and strengthen the capacity of all countries to reduce and manage health risks. 2.3.1: Findings 83% think balance diet is important for a person good health and well being 50% thinks for improving better good health and well-being happiness is important 41% are concerned with your health and regularly go to the doctor for health check up 66% thinks exercise is important to maintain a good health and well being 58% prefer homemade food, rest prefer street food or restaurant food Page 18 of 63 2.3.2: Analysis In order to achieve the SDGs by 2030, we should give more emphasis on the following recommendations.  Increasing support to mental health.  Cooperation.  Caring economics.  Promoting altruism.  A new economic harmony. Good health and well-being Where from your children get food? 25% Homemade food Street food 58% Restaurant food 17% 2.4: Quality education Goal 4, obtaining a quality education is the foundation to improving people’s lives and sustainable development. Major progress has been made towards increasing access to education at all levels and increasing enrolment rates in schools particularly for women and girls. Basic literacy skills have improved tremendously, yet bolder efforts are needed to make even greater strides for achieving universal education Page 19 of 63 goals. For example, the world has achieved equality in primary education between girls and boys, but few countries have achieved that target at all levels of education. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. Since 2000, there has been enormous progress in achieving the target of universal primary education. The total enrolment rate in developing regions reached 91 percent in 2015, and the worldwide number of children out of school has dropped by almost half. There has also been a dramatic increase in literacy rates, and many more girls are in school than ever before. These are all remarkable successes. It aims to ensure that all people have access to quality education and lifelong learning opportunities. This Goal focuses on the acquisition of foundational and higher-order skills at all stages of education and development; greater and more equitable access to quality education at all levels, as well as technical and vocational education and training (TVET); and the knowledge, skills and values needed to function well and contribute to society. Page 20 of 63 2.4.1: Findings 41% strongly disagree that department provides comprehensive guidelines to the students in advance by means of handbooks 75% says department does not ensure a conductive learning environment 50% people think universities of Bangladesh are able to give standard education 42% think universities are able to provide updated & advance website 58% agrees decision making procedure in the departments is participatory 2.4.2: Analysis In order to achieve the SDGs by 2030, we should give more emphasis on the following recommendations.  Countries must ensure that all children and adolescents complete at least one year of pre-primary education, and a full cycle of primary and lower secondary education by 2030.  Primary and lower secondary education must be truly free. Fees should be abolished and all related costs, including those for textbooks, transport and school uniforms, should be covered.  Programs and funding at all levels should be targeted to meet the needs of the most disadvantaged children, youth and adults.  Governments should significantly expand adult learning and education opportunities within a lifelong learning approach, especially among those who had been denied access to school in the past.  Countries must ensure that 15-20 percent of national budgets are spent on education. Page 21 of 63 Quality Education 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Department provides comprehensive guidelines to the students in advance by means of handbooks Strongly Agree 1 Agree 2 Neutral 0 Disagree 4 Strongly disagree 5 Department ensures a conductive learning environment 2 1 4 3 2 Decision Universities of Universities are making Bangladesh are able to provide procedure in the able to give updated & departments is standard advance website participatory education 1 5 6 0 0 4 5 0 2 1 6 1 5 0 0 2.5: Gender Equality Goal 5 states “Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.” Empowering women and girls to reach their full potential requires that they have equal opportunities to those of men and boys. This means eliminating all forms of discrimination and violence against them, including violence by intimate partners, sexual violence and harmful practices, such as child marriage and female genital mutilation (FGM). Ensuring that women have better access to paid employment, sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights, and real decision-making power in public and private spheres will further ensure that development is equitable and sustainable. Obtaining a quality education is the foundation to improving people’s lives and sustainable development. Page 22 of 63 Major progress has been made towards increasing access to education at all levels and increasing enrolment rates in schools particularly for women and girls. Basic literacy skills have improved tremendously, yet bolder efforts are needed to make even greater strides for achieving universal education goals. For example, the world has achieved equality in primary education between girls and boys, but few countries have achieved that target at all levels of education. 2.5.1: Findings 66% thinks in Bangladesh women’s careers are developing 50% thinks women should be given priority in the job sector Only 25% thinks that they are treated equally at work place when compared with the opposite gender 75% thinks that women are physically weaker than men 83% agrees women are more capable to manage outside besides family Page 23 of 63 2.5.2: Analysis In order to achieve the SDGs by 2030, we should give more emphasis on the following recommendations.  Stop child marriage and sexual harassment.  Raise aspirations of girls and their parents.  Get women into power.  Stop the violence.  Let girls use mobile phones. Gender Equality Women are more capable to manage outside besides family Women are physically weaker than men You are treated equally at work place when compared with the opposite site Women should be given priority in the job sector Women’s careers are developing 0 Women’s careers are developing No Yes 4 8 2 4 6 8 10 You are treated Women are more Women should be equally at work Women are capable to manage given priority in place when physically weaker outside besides the job sector compared with the than men family opposite site 6 9 3 2 6 3 9 10 2.6: Clean Water and Sanitation Goal 6 states “Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.” Sustainable Development Goal 6 goes beyond drinking water, sanitation and hygiene to also address the quality and sustainability of water resources, which are critical to the survival of people and the planet. Water is a basic necessity, and an important resource for sustaining life. The decline in water quality endangers the health of humans as well as the ecosystem. Clean drinking water, hygiene, and sanitation play an important part in maintaining health. It results in control of enteric diseases, and boosts child health. Page 24 of 63 Improve sanitation facilities by providing toilets and latrines that flush into a sewer or safe enclosure. Promote good hygiene habits through education. Proper hand washing with soap and water can reduce diarrhea cases by up to 35 percent. Ensuring universal access to affordable electricity by 2030 means investing in clean energy sources such as solar, wind and thermal. The 2030 Agenda recognizes the centrality of water resources to sustainable development and the vital role that improved drinking water, sanitation and hygiene play in progress in other areas, including health, education and poverty reduction. 2.6.1: Findings 50% people have access to safe and affordable drinking water. 33% people say the water they get through supply is safe. 66% agree that clean water help to maintains proper sanitation 83% said clean waters are the core factors of health liners 75% say unhealthy water causes disease Page 25 of 63 2.6.2: Analysis In order to achieve the SDGs by 2030, we should give more emphasis on the following recommendations.  Separating drinking water from wastewater.  Accessing and treating drinking water.  Protecting and restoring freshwater ecosystems.  Guaranteeing water access and water rights.  Cheap water purification methodologies open for all. Clean Water and Sanitation 12 10 8 6 4 Yes 2 0 Do you have The water you equitable access get in your city to safe and through supply affordable is safe or not drinking water? Yes 5 4 No 6 5 Not sure 1 3 No Not sure Clean waters help to maintains proper sanitation 8 2 2 Clean waters are the core factors of health liners Unhealthy waters causes disease 10 0 2 9 0 3 2.7: Affordable and Clean Energy Goal 7 states “Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.” Access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy is crucial to achieving many of the Sustainable Development Goals—from poverty eradication through advancements in health, education, water supply and industrialization to mitigating climate change. Energy access, however, varies widely across countries, and the current rate of progress falls short of what will be required to achieve this Goal. Page 26 of 63 Redoubled efforts will be needed, particularly for countries with large energy access deficits and high energy consumption. Efforts to encourage clean energy has resulted in more than 20 percent of global power being generated by renewable sources as of 2011. But still one in five people lack access to electricity, and as the demand continues to rise there needs to be a substantial increase in the production of renewable energy across the world. Ensuring universal access to affordable electricity by 2030 means investing in clean energy sources such as solar, wind and thermal. Adopting cost-effective standards for a wider range of technologies could also reduce the global electricity consumption by buildings and industry by 14 percent. This means avoiding roughly 1,300 mid-size power plants. Expanding infrastructure and upgrading technology to provide clean energy in all developing countries is a crucial goal that can both encourage growth and help the environment. 2.7.1 Findings 33% think solar electricity is an affordable and clean source of energy, 50% are not sure 83% say cost of a project to install clean energy system is very expensive 58% think purchasing an affordable energy system for their home will reduce electricity bill Page 27 of 63 42% think the main disadvantage is lack of publicity 66% think Affordable and clean energy is savings our natural environment 2.7.2 Analysis In order to achieve the SDGs by 2030, we should give more emphasis on the following recommendations.  Ensure that each and every person in the world can access reliable, affordable, and modern energy services.  Increase the proportion of renewable energy in the overall global energy mix.  Enhance international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technology.  Expand infrastructure and improve technology for supplying sustainable energy for everyone in developing countries.  Double the global rate of energy efficiency improvement. Affordable and Clean Energy 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Is solar electricity is a affordable and clean source of energy? Yes 4 No 2 Not sure 6 Cost of a project to install clean Affordable and clean energy is energy system is very savings our natural expensive environment 10 8 0 1 2 3 Page 28 of 63 2.8: Decent Work and Economic Growth Goal 8 states “Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.” Sustained and inclusive economic growth is a prerequisite for sustainable development, which can contribute to improved livelihoods for people around the world. Economic growth can lead to new and better employment opportunities and provide greater economic security for all. Moreover, rapid growth, especially among the least developed and developing countries, can help them reduce the wage gap relative to developed countries, thereby diminishing glaring inequalities between the rich and poor. 2.8.1: Findings 50% think current situation of economic growth is good 66% believe advancing opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive work in conditions is not equal 70% is not sure if decent work and economic growth continuously change 33% are happy with their present job 50% did not want to disclose if they pay regular tax or not Page 29 of 63 2.8.2: Analysis In order to achieve the SDGs by 2030, we should give more emphasis on the following recommendations.  Macroeconomic policies that promote job creation and support demand and investment need to be prioritized, along with tax, infrastructure and sectorspecific policies that enhance productivity.  Policies to support business should be adopted to increase credit flows and promote entrepreneurship and small businesses, while encouraging the transition from the informal to the formal economy.  People-centered policies that reduce inequalities must be implemented. These include social protection measures, wage policies, strengthened labor inspection, increased female labor market participation and protecting collective bargaining.  Policies need to be put in place to help women enter the labor force and enable them to benefit from fair maternity protection and work–family policies.

World leaders recognized the positive contribution of international migration to inclusive growth and sustainable development, while acknowledging that it demands coherent and comprehensive responses. Accordingly, they committed to cooperate internationally to ensure safe, orderly and regular migration. The Goal also addresses issues related to representation of developing countries in global decision-making and development assistance. Income of a group of people is same. Page 33 of 63 These widening disparities are a call for action that require the adoption of sound policies to empower the bottom percentile of income earners and promote economic inclusion of all regardless of sex, race or ethnicity. Income inequality is a global problem that requires global solutions. This involves improving the regulation and monitoring of financial markets and institutions, encouraging development assistance and foreign direct investment to regions where the need is greatest. Facilitating the safe migration and mobility of people is also key to bridging the widening divide. 2.10.1: Findings 91% agree inequalities exist in our society 50% say inequalities are affected our daily life 75% agree inequalities also exist in our education system 58% said universities should reduce inequalities 83% said everyone should get same right in every sector Page 34 of 63 2.10.2: Analysis In order to achieve the SDGs by 2030, we should give more emphasis on the following recommendations.  Stop Illicit Outflows.  Progressive Income Tax.  Enforce a Living Wage.  Workers’ Right to Organize.  Stop Other Labor Abuses.

By 2030, it is projected that 6 in 10 people will be urban dwellers. Despite numerous planning challenges, cities offer more efficient economies of scale on many levels, including the provision of goods, services and transportation. With sound, risk-informed Page 35 of 63 planning and management, cities can become incubators for innovation and growth and drivers of sustainable development. Extreme poverty is often concentrated in urban spaces, and national and city governments struggle to accommodate the rising population in these areas. Making cities safe and sustainable means ensuring access to safe and affordable housing, and upgrading slum settlements. It also involves investment in public transport, creating green public spaces, and improving urban planning and management in a way that is both participatory and inclusive. 2.11.1: Findings About 87% people are living in commercial area. Those who are residing in the residential area they say that their area is not well planned for future expansion. Dhaka city is not well plan for expansion most of the people added and many people have no idea regarding this. About 86% people agreed that people are supportive around them. Almost no people are involved in social welfare group. Page 36 of 63 2.11.2: Analysis In order to achieve the SDGs by 2030, we should give more emphasis on the following recommendations.  Improve mass transit.  Make buildings more efficient.  Preservation of historic and natural assets.  Boost clean energy.  Upgrade power infrastructure.

Doing so effectively will require policies that create a conducive environment for such change, social and physical infrastructure and markets, and a profound transformation of business practices along global value chains. Page 37 of 63 Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. Halving per capita global food waste at the retailer and consumer levels is also important for creating more efficient production and supply chains. This can help with food security and shift us towards a more resource efficient economy. This focuses on research that is relevant to responsible consumption and production. The field-weighted citation index is a subject-normalized score of the citation performance of publications. The data are provided by Elsevier’s Scopus dataset, based on a query of keywords associated with SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production). It includes all indexed publications between 2013 and 2017. The data are normalized across its range using z-scoring. 2.12.1: Findings 95% people use sunlight in their house. Only 32% people are capturing rain water for future use and enables consumers and other actors to make responsible and sustainable choices of products and services, and to adopt more sustainable lifestyles. About 50% people are not wasting any food daily but a few are wasting food daily whose monetary value is less than 50 Taka. Page 38 of 63 Most of the people are not using laptop. 5 % use 2 hours daily and 9% use 3 hours on an average daily. Recycling the daily waste, we can save our natural resources, added 100%. 2.12.2: Analysis  The theme 'consume with care' is possible through practice of 'Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP)'.  SCP aims to do 'more and better with less' by reducing use of resources, degradation and pollution along the life cycle of goods and services.  To enhance the quality of life and well-being for all.  It is a holistic approach that encompasses the triple bottom line of sustainable development.  Thereby aiming to increase efficiency and prevent unnecessary wastes of resources.

Goal 13 calls for urgent action not only to combat climate change and its impacts, but also to build resilience in responding to climate-related hazards and natural disasters. Bangladesh is prone to flooding due to being situated on the Ganges Delta and the many distributaries flowing into the Bay of Bengal. Flooding normally occurs during the monsoon season from June to September. The convectional rainfall of the monsoon is added to by relief rainfall caused by the Himalayas. Bangladesh has a long history of natural disasters. Between 1980 and 2008, it experienced 209 natural disasters. Bangladesh suffers from floods, cyclones, storm surge, river bank erosion, earthquake, drought, salinity intrusion, fire and tsunami. Cyclones and floods particularly caused massive damages. Page 40 of 63 2.13.1: Findings 91% people are aware of the earthquake. About 84% have no training on earthquake. 91% people say that during earthquake they will stay the same place. And a very few people added to run. There is no such awareness program regarding earthquake in TV. Almost all people experienced earthquake in the Dhaka city. 2.13.2: Analysis In order to achieve the SDGs by 2030, we should give more emphasis on the following recommendations.  Ensure training programme to the mass people to face earthquake bravely.  Awareness programmes in social and electronic media.  Safe shelter preparation far from the earthquake active zone.  Building inspection by the government to certify for living  Enough reservation for medicine and rescue team. Page 41 of 63 Climate Action 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Yes No Partial Have no Idea Are you aware of the suspected earthquake in Dhaka city 11 1 0 0 Is there any awareness program in social and electronic media regarding earthquake 2 11 1 0 Do you have training if there is a sudden earthquake in Dhaka city 2 10 0 0 2.14: Life below Water Goal 14 states Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development. Oceans, seas and other marine resources are essential to human well-being and social and economic development worldwide. Their conservation and sustainable use are central to achieving the 2030 Agenda, especially for Small Island developing States. Marine resources are particularly important for people living in coastal communities, who represented 37 per cent of the world's population in 2010. Oceans provide livelihoods, subsistence and benefits from fisheries, tourism and other sectors. They also help regulate the global ecosystem by absorbing heat and carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. However, oceans and coastal areas are extremely vulnerable to environmental degradation, overfishing, climate change and pollution. Page 42 of 63 The SDGs aim to sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems from pollution, as well as address the impacts of ocean acidification. Enhancing conservation and the sustainable use of ocean-based resources through international law will also help mitigate some of the challenges facing our oceans. 2.14.1: Findings 77% people believe that sea will be a potential source of protein. To improve marine fisheries 91% added government involvement is a must. 95% people say sea will a potential source of income. Almost none graduates from the marine fisheries in their families. 55% people have no idea how to prevent ocean from pollution. 2.14.2: Analysis In order to achieve the SDGs by 2030, we should give more emphasis on the following recommendations.  Reduce Acidification. Page 43 of 63  Stop Overfishing.  Much waste dumping Waste in the ocean.  Make Safe, Sustainable Seafood Choices.  Use Fewer Plastic Product.

Goal 15 focuses specifically on managing forests sustainably, halting and reversing land and natural habitat degradation, successfully combating desertification and stopping biodiversity loss. All these efforts combined aim to ensure that the benefits of land-based ecosystems, including sustainable livelihoods, will be enjoyed for generations to come. Page 44 of 63 As of 2015, over 23,000 species of plants, fungi and animals were known to face a high probability of extinction. Human activities are causing species extinctions at rates three orders of magnitude higher than those normal throughout the Earth’s history. 2.15.1: Findings Almost all people planted tree by their hands. On an average people planted 5 to 10 tress in their life. A few people have animal in their houses. 100% people visited botanical garden. 100% people say that sustainable energy can be ensured using life on land. 2.15.2: Analysis In order to achieve the SDGs by 2030, we should give more emphasis on the following recommendations.  Ensure green wherever we see in us around  Promote sustainable management of forests, stop deforestation  Fight desertification, restore damaged soil and land, including land ravaged by floods, drought and desertification  Significantly increase and mobilize financial resource to ensure the sustainable use and conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity Page 45 of 63  Keep our wild animal’s safe Life on Land 2.16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions Goal 16 states “Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.” Central to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is the need to promote peaceful and inclusive societies based on respect for human rights, the rule of law and transparent, effective and accountable institutions. A number of regions have enjoyed increased and sustained levels of peace and security in recent decades. But many countries still face protracted violence and armed conflict, and far too many people are poorly supported by weak institutions and lack access to justice, information and other fundamental freedoms. Efforts are under way to make national and international institutions more effective, inclusive and transparent. Page 46 of 63 Today, more than half the world has internationally recognized human rights institutions. However, significant challenges remain, including lack of data on various forms of violence against children and other vulnerable groups, access to justice and public access to information. 2.16.1: Findings Only 23% people are aware of the national & international law. 100% people are free from corruptions. 82% people say that they are getting justice all the time. Almost no people tortured their house maid. 86% people are passing life peacefully in the society. 2.16.2: Analysis In order to achieve the SDGs by 2030, we should give more emphasis on the following recommendations.  Ensure 100% security and no violence.  Ensure Justice for all.  Ensure every government and non-government process biased free.  Ensure accountability at all stages. Page 47 of 63  Make people patriotic.

An integrated approach is crucial for progress across the multiple goals. Zero hunger: This entails improving the productivity and incomes of small-scale farmers by promoting equal access to land, technology and markets, sustainable food production systems and resilient agricultural practices. Good health and well-being: Towards that end, world leaders committed to support research and development, increase health financing, and strengthen the capacity of all countries to reduce and manage health risks. Quality education: This Goal focuses on the acquisition of foundational and higher-order skills at all stages of education and development greater and more equitable access to quality education at all levels. Governments must close critical data gaps in order to direct resources to marginalized groups most in need. Gender equality: The world has achieved equality in primary education between girls and boys, but few countries have achieved that target at all levels of education. Clean water and sanitation: Agenda recognizes the centrality of water resources to sustainable development and the vital role that improved drinking water, sanitation and hygiene play in progress in other areas, including health, education and poverty reduction. Affordable and clean energy: Ensure that each and every person in the world can access reliable, affordable, and modern energy services. Increase the proportion of renewable energy in the overall global energy mix. Decent work and economic growth: Moreover, rapid growth, especially among the least developed and developing countries, can help them reduce the wage gap relative to developed countries, thereby diminishing glaring inequalities between the rich and poor. Industry, innovation and infrastructure: Industrialization drives economic growth and job creation, thereby reducing income inequality; and innovation Page 49 of 63 expands the technological capabilities of industrial sectors and leads to the development of new skills. Reduced inequalities: The Goal also addresses issues related to representation of developing countries in global decision-making and development assistance. Income of a group of people is same. Sustainable cities and communities: With sound, risk-informed planning and management, cities can become incubators for innovation and growth and drivers of sustainable development. Responsible Consumption and Production: This focuses on research that is relevant to responsible consumption and production. The field-weighted citation index is a subject-normalized score of the citation performance of publications. Climate action: Climate change presents the single biggest threat to development, and its widespread, unprecedented effects disproportionately burden the poorest and the most vulnerable. Life below water: Oceans provide livelihoods, subsistence and benefits from fisheries, tourism and other sectors. They also help regulate the global ecosystem by absorbing heat and carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Life on land: It focuses specifically on managing forests sustainably, halting and reversing land and natural habitat degradation, successfully combating desertification and stopping biodiversity loss. Peace, justice and strong institutions: However, significant challenges remain, including lack of data on various forms of violence against children and other vulnerable groups, access to justice and public access to information. CONCLUSION Page 50 of 63 Bangladesh has achieved significant progress in all sectors of sustainable development goals, especially the social front like reducing extreme poverty, gender equity and reducing infant death. However, with the climate change intensifying and the country being at the forefront of climate change impacts, there are formidable challenges to contend with in future. Bangladesh is fully committed to pursuing sustainable development, seeking to establish and maintain economic vibrancy, social equity and inclusiveness, human dignity for all and a healthy environment and a sound natural resource base. However, given its resource limitations, the country needs finance and technology transfer as well as capacity enhancement support, consistent with the properly defined tasks that it will take to move steadfastly towards the goal of sustainable development. Attainment of the SDGs would require a strong and effective institutional mechanism involving all stakeholders including public representatives across the country, government and the bureaucracy, private sector, civil society, knowledge community, and development partners. Page 51 of 63 REFERENCES Books: 1.
