The SDGs aim to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition by 2030, making sure all people – especially children – have access to sufficient and nutritious food all year round.
In Central Asian countries, wheat provides more than 60% of daily calories, and a significant portion
of that wheat is imported from Kazakhstan (the world’s ninth largest producer and seventh largest exporter). Spikes in food prices have been one of the major sources of food insecurity in other Central Asian Republics, and Kazakhstan’s wheat sector was found to be highly vulnerable to climate change. In response, a UNDP/USAID project ‘Improving Climate Resilience of Kazakhstan Wheat and Central Asian Food Security’ was started in 2012 jointly with Kazhydromet – Kazakhstan’s National Hydrometeorological Agency - with the aim of improving forecasting capacities to help improve crop yields in the region.
Thanks to new software, meteorologists can issue climate forecasts for the whole season in a few seconds; over 600 farmers have been actively co-operating with Kazhydromet in order to get up-to-date weather and climate forecasts. Participating farmers have reported 20 per cent higher wheat yields on average.

This photograph, taken on September 20th, 2018, depicts a sign made by the child of a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) employee. This was taken in the NHLBI Division of Extramural Research Activities office in Bethesda, Maryland. It is advertising the Feds Feed Families Campaign, a federal-wide annual donation program to help feed American families(1). Food donations made through NHLBI support the Children’s Inn at the National Institutes of Health, the Safra Family Lodge, and the Capital Area Food Bank(2).
This photo relates to Sustainable Development Goal #2, Zero Hunger. This goal aims to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture(3). There are 6.1 million U.S. households that suffer from severe food insecurity, although the vast majority of people who suffer from hunger live in developing nations(4). This has significant societal and ecological impacts. Food insecurity is often due to poor harvesting practices, food wastage, and war, all of which negatively impact the environment and ecological systems. Additionally, without solving the issue of hunger, many of the other SDGs are difficult to achieve(3).
Although the photograph itself is related to a more human-centered SDG, there are still relevant ecological implications. Specifically, this reminded me of the ecological concept of resilience in terms of food security, described in a 2017 publication by the British Ecological Society. This is relevant to the subdiscipline of agro-ecology. Resilience in the food context can be defined as “maintaining production of sufficient and nutritious food in the face of chronic and acute environmental perturbations”(5). Ecologically-inspired approaches to increasing resilience in terms of food security include diversifying crop rotations, which help reduce soil erosion, increase soil fertility, and increase crop yield. This relates back to SDG #2 because adopting more sustainable and resilient farming methods, based in ecological principles, is critical in order to eliminate hunger.

GOAL 8: DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
The SDGs promote sustained economic growth, higher levels of productivity, and technological innovation. Through sustainable, green development, the goal is to achieve full and productive employment - and decent work - for all women and men by 2030.
Montenegro, as part of a GEF-funded project implemented by UNDP in conjunction with the country’s Ministry for Sustainable Development and Tourism, is working towards carbon-neutral tourism by developing new bike routes; partnering with festivals across the country to go completely green; installing solar benches which serve as phone charging stations but also provide data on air quality, noise, temperature, and humidity; and providing a web-based carbon calculator for tourists to measure their environmental impact when visiting.
