Сценарный план дискуссии на английском языке "Цели устойчивого развития ООН"
методическая разработка по английскому языку (10 класс)

Hi, guys! Today we are going to broach the subject of global sustainable development. This topic is related to you directly as you are the students of UNESCO associated school and even if the subject might seem to you as the global one, I want to tell you: everything is up to you.

What is sustainable development in your point of view? How do you understand this notion?

To start with, let`s look at the screen. While watching I want you to listen carefully and to give a summary of what you will hear.

Ok, so I`ll repeat my question: what is sustainable development? Which fields of our life are the target ones? Why?

You`re right. Let me give you the definition. Sustainable development is an organizing principle for meeting human development goals while simultaneously sustaining the ability of natural systems to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services on which the economy and society depend on. The desired result is a state of society where living conditions and resources are used to continue to meet human needs without undermining the integrity and stability of the natural system. Sustainable development can be defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

To achieve these development The UNO (the United Nation Organization) established purposes of sustainable development. There are 17 of them. Read them. Which of them are the most important? (all of them) Which of them should be solved ASAP? Why? Who should solve these problems?  

Lets talk about the first one? No poverty? Is it real to be solved or not? What can you personally do to help this purpose to be achieved? Which purpose is closely connected with it? No hunger. Same questions. Which purpose is above them?

We`ll build a pyramid of purposes.

Conclusion: before we will achieve the basic purposes we won`t be able to achieve the rest of them.

That were brilliant but abstract ideas of the students of Eureka private school. Now I want to give a word not to scholars but to the members of the UNO who really can solve these problems. There are 3 graphs of the current world situation in education, economics and ecology. I want you to analize it. And try to make a conclusion. What`s the problem? Why do the world have it and how to solve it?
