“…Several SDGs intersect with the way we deliver health care, including: SDG3 on Good Health and Wellbeing, SDG12 on Responsible Consumption and Production, and SDG13 on Climate Action. 14,15 WHO published guidance on increasing the environmental sustainability of health-care facilities in October, 2020, but the guidance, although welcome, was not able to cite any peer-reviewed evidence from trials of proposed interventions to promote environmental sustainability. 16 Similarly, a 2021 scoping review reporting interventions to improve the quality of cataract surgery, proposed the addition of planetary health to the seven dimensions of quality accepted by WHO, but was unable to identify any study targeting this aspect of quality in cataract service delivery.…”

Advocacy is instrumental to achieving significant policy change for vision. Global advocacy efforts over the past decades enabled recognition of vision as a major public health, human rights, and development issue. The United Nations General Assembly adopted its first-ever Resolution on vision: “Vision for Everyone—Accelerating Action to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)” on 23 July 2021. The Resolution sets the target and commits the international community to improve vision for the 1.1 billion people living with preventable vision impairment by 2030. To fulfill their commitments, governments and international institutions must act now. Advocacy remains instrumental to mobilize funding and empower governments and stakeholders to include eye health in their implementation agenda. In this paper, we discuss the pivotal role advocacy plays in advancing vision for everyone now and in the post-COVID-19 era. We explore the link between improved eye health and the advancement of SDGs and define the framework and key pillars of advocacy to scaling-up success by 2030.

“…Communities and people should be educated and encouraged to use sustainable development goals (SDGs) [15], as SDG management is important for sustainable development. The SDGs refer to the sustainability goals for 2016-2030 as described in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted at the United Nations Summit in September 2015 as the successor to the 2001 United Nations Millennium Development [16][17][18]. These SDGs consist of annual international goals, including 17 goals and 169 targets to realize a sustainable world, focused on the "no one left behind" on the earth concept [19,20].…”

Sustainable social-resource-based community management and sustainable development goals (SDGs) are crucial for community sustainability and sustainable development, respectively, and SDG education is vital to motivate people to continue SDG-appropriate activities. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the SDG education of Rural Japanese University students using the grounded theory approach and investigate how their ideas about future work subsequently change. This study analyzes the learning and attitude changes in students enrolled in an elective SDG course and establishes the learning theory behind SDG education in rural universities. In this approach, student SDG education consists of three themes and eleven concepts. Through SDG education based on interactive lectures and rural fieldwork, participants reconsider community and society concepts in an SDG-minded framework. Based on this new perspective, participants begin considering community sustainability by gaining new insight from a first-person standpoint. Participants acquire SDG-minded working competencies, such as collaborative advancement, respect for inclusive societies, community revitalization from different perspectives, and mindset reconstruction. SDG educational processes were conducted in rural communities through university student SDG education, which deepened their understanding of community sustainability. Thus, SDG education should employ real practitioners to university curricula and deal with cultural and traditional diversity via effective collaboration.
