Resource Stewardship

1. What is resource stewardship?

2. Analyse 3 contrasting Global Goals to identify the aspects that relate to resource stewardship.

Find the information you need here.

Make sure you have facts and figures , information about the targets and have analysed.

e.g Goal 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

Facts

• Each year, an estimated one third of all food produced – equivalent to 1.3 billion tonnes worth around $1 trillion – ends up rotting in the bins of consumers and retailers, or spoiling due to poor transportation and harvesting practices

Targets

• Implement the 10-year framework of programmes on sustainable consumption and production, all countries taking action, with developed countries taking the lead, taking into account the development and capabilities of developing countries

Analysis (to what extent to the facts and targets represent successful resource stewardship)

• The targets are clearly resource stewardship focused because....
• The facts indicate.... [success? failure? somewhere in between?] to achieve successful resource stewardship] presently. In future....

3. What progress has been made towards achieving the Global Goals you have looked at? What does this say about our responsible planning and management of resources ?

4. To what extent could resource stewardship be seen as relevant to ALL the Global Goals?

5. You will share your answers to the above questions using a 'Micro Lab' routine.

SHARE: the first person in the group (of 3 people) shares their answer for 2 minutes. The other group members listen attentively WITHOUT COMMENT or INTERRUPTION.

PAUSE: for 30 seconds in SILENCE to take in what was said. 

REPEAT: for persons 2 & 3 in the group, as above. 

DISCUSS: as a group 5-10 minutes, referencing the comments that have been made and making CONNECTIONS between the response of the group.

Following the 'Micro Lab' routine, discuss how you felt about the routine.
