Looking at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), one can learn how 193 different countries come together to work on current issues and sustainability goals for the future of our world. This organization consists of leaders around the nation who attend a yearly conference making the best plans and decisions based on science and culture. As there’s a general director nominated every four years, them and the board decide what to discuss in the yearly meeting, aiming towards the best information for the countries to know. This organization aims on making changes to better society overall, allowing for protection of nations finest beauties, increased educational development, climate change, and many more controversial issues.
In 2018, the UNESCO created a set of goals compiled into sub-categories aiming for completion by 2030 to best protect our counties. These goals are directed towards the tourism industry allowing for best practices to be used nationwide. The 17 goals known as sustainable development goals (SDG), have 177 initiatives within aiming for world peace all in all. In looking at the different subjects, a lot of these are very relevant within the US as political parties battle what they think is best for our country. As many want to rely on the science, I believe these goals are attainable and necessary in order to protect our future generations and support the tourism industry. Looking at the way UNESCO put this into perspective, one can see they play a role somehow in the industry, showing the significance of necessary support.
In looking at the 17 different goals, there are a lot that mean something to me and that I support regularly. If I had to choose one that meant the most to me, I would choose climate action. This is a very prominent issue within societies around the world as we are all fighting it together. The actions one country takes to best protect our future is necessary in order to save future generations from irreversible damage. The scientists have shown data to administrations around the world and the necessary steps we need to take immediately. In many countries, this is being put aside, but I commend UNESCO for taking priority on this issue. The tourism industry can use best practices to make sure that they do their part in saving the future of our climate for all to come.
As I don’t know my exact career path for the future, I’m sure I will use many of these goals in my job on a daily. All of these are relevant and provide the opportunity for our generation to graduate and attack these different areas. As a public relations major, I could see myself focusing on the partnerships with the goals. These are necessary in order to work together with others to best achieve intend outcomes. Incorporating a PR campaign could allow for one to make sure fluent communication is in intact with all working on these SDG’s, in addition to many other ways aiming to keep all publics informed and most incorporated. From a tourism minor perspective, I think that affordable and clean energy is prominent within as the industry plays a major role in the consumption of energy. The cannabis industry is a very good example for this goal, as finding best ways to bring in revenue while still being eco-friendly is possible with the right science, investments, and tools. Finding ways to save energy and use best practices through the tourism industry is key in a successful and sustainable future.
