For Catholic Schools, this is connected to Catholic Social Teaching Principles and the mandate of the Christian faith to stand in solidarity with children, women and men who are most vulnerable to extreme poverty and injustice. Caritas Australia’s work provides a wealth of case studies demonstrating how a faith based organisation is working towards these global goals. • •Broadly, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be rich content for teaching and learning in the Civics and Citizenship, Economics and Business and Geography curriculums and in addressing the Cross Curricular Priorities and General Capabilities. •For example: •Ethical Understanding: exploring the types of participation that Australia has in the Asia region and internationally (for example, exchange programs, peacekeeping, election monitoring, health programs, disaster management). Asia and Australia’s Engagement with Asia: Investigating Australia’s involvement with the United Nations (for example, representation in the organisation and adherence to conventions and declarations that Australia has ratified) exploring the provision of Australian government or non-government aid to a country in the Asia and Pacific region or elsewhere in the world and analysing its effects on places in that country. Intercultural Understanding: researching connections between Australia and countries in the Asia and Pacific regions (for example, in terms of migration, trade, tourism, aid, education, defence or cultural influences) and explaining the effects of at least one of these connections on their own place and another place in Australia. • • • •SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND THE AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUM Find more information about the Sustainable Development goals at http://www.caritas.org.au/learn/sdg and the ‘Caritas Internationalis and the SDGs’ report at http://www.caritas.org.au/docs/default-source/publications-and-reports/ci_sustainable_development_g oals_en_web.pdf?sfvrsn=2 CaritasAU_MasterLogo-tagline_H_POS_CMYK.png •Foundation Year Inquiry questions: How can we look after the places we live in? • •Year 2: •How are people connected to their place and other places, past or present? •How has technology affected daily life over time and the connections between people in different places? • SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND THE AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUM •Civics and Citizenship Curriculum Key ideas: • •How societies and economies operate and how they are changing over time. •The ways people, places, ideas and events are perceived and connected. •How people exercise their responsibilities, participate in society and make informed decisions? • Year 3 History: What is the nature of the contribution made by different groups and individuals in the community? How and why are places similar and different? What would it be like to live in a neighbouring country? Year 4: How can people use environments more sustainably?

CaritasAU_MasterLogo-tagline_H_POS_CMYK.png THE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS •In 2000, 189 United Nations member states, including Australia came up with a set of 8 goals aimed at halving world poverty by 2015. • •The target of halving the proportion of people living on less than $1 a day by 2015. This goal was achieved. • • • Girl-pose-1.png CaritasAU_MasterLogo-tagline_H_POS_CMYK.png WERE THE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS ACHIEVED? • •However, extreme poverty and hunger have not been eradicated. • •There are still 800 million people in our world living in extreme poverty. • •So, a new set of goals had to be made. • Boy-pose-7.png Photos (Clockwise): Cambodian children in an immersion class 2009.

Photo credit: Goal 17 – Caritas Australia CaritasAU_MasterLogo-tagline_H_POS_CMYK.png HOW ARE THE SDGS DIFFERENT TO THE MDGS? •The Millennium Development Goals (MDG) focused on poverty in developing countries, and set targets for low-income countries to achieve, rather than holding rich countries responsible for their actions. • •The MDGs also only focused on national averages, which meant they didn’t look at the growing inequalities within a country. CaritasAU_MasterLogo-tagline_H_POS_CMYK.png •The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) have been developed collaboratively – with governments, organisations and people from developed and developing countries sharing their thoughts. • •This is similar to the Catholic Social Teaching principles of Subsidiarity and Participation, which looks at how people can be involved in the decisions that affect them. • HOW ARE THE SDGS DIFFERENT TO THE MDGS? lo_subpart_vig.pdf It is important that leaders listen to what everybody has to say. It is important that we join in the discussion. CaritasAU_MasterLogo-tagline_H_POS_CMYK.png WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THESE GOALS? •The SDGs cover many issues that affect us all. • •They suggest a way that we can all work together to improve the future for everyone. • •They highlight our shared responsibility. CaritasAU_MasterLogo-tagline_H_POS_CMYK.png Boy-pose-6.png CARITAS AUSTRALIA AND THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS •The SDGs include goals that look at what people need to grow and be a whole person - not just money or material needs - but social, emotional and spiritual needs too. Caritas Australia calls this Integral Human Development and they keep this in mind when developing programs. • •Caritas Australia’s work focuses on partnering with local communities - walking alongside, finding and improving strengths and building skills. • • • • Girl-pose-3.png CaritasAU_MasterLogo-tagline_H_POS_CMYK.png POPE FRANCIS AND THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS •Pope Francis addressed the United Nations general assembly when the goals were adopted in 2015. • •He emphasised the connection between human dignity, development and the environment. •Photo credit: CNS photo/Mike Segar, Reuters CaritasAU_MasterLogo-tagline_H_POS_CMYK.png POPE FRANCIS AND THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS •Pope Francis reminds us that focusing on the poor is part of looking after the environment. This is because “the human environment and the natural environment deteriorate together” (Laudato Si’ #48). • •The new global goals look at how the human environment and natural environment are connected. •Photo credit: Reuters Tony Gentile CaritasAU_MasterLogo-tagline_H_POS_CMYK.png GET INVOLVED •All participating governments, including Australia are committed to forming sustainable development strategies based on the goals, as of January 2016. •However, they are voluntary- there are no laws to make sure they happen. •This means faith groups and civil society must make sure decision makers know we care about achieving the global goals. • CaritasAU_MasterLogo-tagline_H_POS_CMYK.png PLAY YOUR PART •It’s going to take everyone everywhere, to work together, for the common good. • •What will you do? • •Can you choose a goal for your community and start making a plan? • •What can you do today? sdg18_epilogue1.jpg sdg18_epilogue1.jpg Choose a goal for your class, school or community group. Make a plan for how you will work towards this goal personally, locally and globally.
