Key Stage 3 Geography and Sustainable Development
Developing your thinking - Activity 13
Write down your own needs and aspirations for the future. Put them into categories such as home and family, holidays and travel, employment, rights and justice, etc. How might these impact on the MDGs. Now read through the MDGs once more and look at your list again. Could you alter any of your own aspirations so that you could contribute to the UN's goals in a more sustainable way?
