You will complete the review of your classmates projects today, then rank funding priorities.
As you watch the presentations, be sure to take notes on specific facts that will help you to rank the goals. You will be asked to justify your rankings.
The UN estimates it will cost approximately $11.5 trillion USD to meet the 17 SDGs by 2030.
We will imagine that we do not have the funds to keep up with the annual needs to address these goals fully (which is not unrealistic given the many global challenges nations face and the lag in donor funds). So some of the goals will be short-changed.
Review presentations and use them to help rank the goals (that your classmates covereed) in order of importance for investment.
We will share and debate our rankings during our LAST class.
