PART B (i):
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or Global Goals are a collection of 17 interlinked global
goals designed to be a "blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all". The SDGs
were set up in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly (UN-GA) and are intended to be achieved
by 2030. They are included in an UN-GA Resolution called the 2030 Agenda or what is colloquially
known as Agenda 2030. In the fast-moving world, we are so inundated with responsibilities in our
personal and professional lives that we don’t think of the world around us. Take a minute and think of
your contribution to make the world a better place? Did you think of something? Did it create an
impact? Did your action change life if not lives? Did your initiative create a better world for a better
tomorrow?
Each Group is required to select any 5 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) and
discuss how to implement SDGs in Everyday Life for better world for a better tomorrow. Your
discussion report should be at least 2 pages.
PART B (II):
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 13: Climate Change
Each group is required to calculate your Personal Carbon Footprint from using the following guide.
Present your results with a short reflection on which activities contribute most to your emissions.
Guide
The formula for calculating your carbon footprint is:
Activity Data x Emissions Factor = Carbon Emissions
In order to calculate your personal carbon footprint snapshot, you will need the following information:
Total 12 months data of your household electricity consumption in kilowatt hours (kWh)
Total 12 months data of the fuel consumption (petrol or diesel) of your vehicles in litres (L)
Total 12 months data of the amount of waste that you throw away in kilograms (kg)
The Emissions Factor used in this calculator are:
Electricity : Peninsular Malaysia Energy Commission 2021 Grid EF @ 0.758 kgCO2e/kWh
Petrol : DEFRA 2023 @ 2.34502 kgCO2e/litre
Diesel : DEFRA 2023 @ 2.51206 kgCO2e/litre
Waste : DEFRA 2023 @ 497.04470 Metric Tons CO2e / Short Ton Material
(Treatment: Landfilled)
You are required to prepare a short summary on:
• Your personal carbon footprint snapshot.
• Summary table for individual & group carbon footprint and compare with Malaysia's carbon
footprint per capita of 10.158 tCO2e per person.
• An action plan can be taken to achieve carbon emissions reduction.
This practice is to realize Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate change. Sustainable
Development Goal target 13.3 is to improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional
capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning.
Your summary report should be at least 1 page.
