ENSURE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

    This is pretty much helping out people, environment, animals. So there's the people who don’t have water and the people who do. It was very bad in 1990 of the people who did not have access to good clean water, but at 2010 more than two billion people gained access to good clean water. Which is a huge rise with the technology of getting people to get the water compared to now. So the percent of people who has this water was at 76% and rose all the way up to 89%also over 40% of the people who don’t have it are in sub-Saharan Africa. Since that is such you huge amount we should mainly focus on getting them water then the rest of the 60%.

    They also talked about slum dwellers which are people who live in a very populated urban place with now very good housing. We are supposed to improve 100 million slum dwellers lives by 2025. Which is a very high number I thought but I guess not with the technology we have now. The percent of people living like this has went down from 2002 to 2012 to 39% to 33%.

    We are also losing more trees than we are gaining which is not a good thing. Since that provides us with the air we breath. South America and Africa have been have huge losses of trees over the last ten years.

    Around 58% more of the animals in the world are being better protected now since 1990. Their is around 12% of all land safe for animals to live and only 1% for water animals.
