WEEK 10 : INDICATORS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

 Assalamualaikum and meet again! 

    For this week topic, it was something new to me because I've never heard this terms before. The topic was about the indicators of Sustainable development. My first thought about the topic is something that influence the objective to be met? or factors? maybe things that driven the emergence of Sustainable development goals? After I've learned it in lesson today, indicators is a statistic that measures progress made in sustainable development of growth. Its a crucial guidance or measurement in order to  make sure that the goals is aligned and the progression is excellent. 

    I'm interested to talk about ecological footprint indicators that relates with our beloved environment. Ecological footprint is tracking the use of productive recourse and measure human demand on nature. it is the only statistic that evaluates the amount of nature we have and how much we consume. By this measurement, it will provide powerful understanding to the people and emphasize the importance of greenery in human life. There would be fewer environmental issues now if everyone kept track of their ecological footprint. If human overconsumption, there will be no sufficient availability left of the resource to preserve in the future. Thus, we should pay attention more for the sake of better world. 

On the aspect of social, there is happy planet index (HPI). Of course, it concern on the sustainable well-being and welfare. It counts efficiency of three indicators :

1.well being: the satisfaction and happiness of people in their life

2. life expectancy: how long people live on average

3. ecological footprint: how significant their environmental effect is

    It examines which nations are best at employing the fewest 'inputs' of natural resources to provide the greatest potential 'outputs' of long, happy and sustainable lives. This is really interesting knowledge for me as I'm amazed how people could create this kind of measurement in the pursue of human well being. 

    To conclude, these indicators is crucially significant in observing the condition of the world as a whole. Islam creates a decent life for mankind based on human function. Worshipping and serving Allah is the distinctive role and ultimate objective of human beings, as mentioned plainly in the Quran.  So, wellness is a life entirely committed to Allah.
