Instructions
You are expected to write an expository Essay (see attached explanation and structure for expository essay)
on the topic of one of the 17 SDG’s . The length of the Essay should be around 3000 words, using Times New Roman 12p font and double line spacing. Including graphs, figures and tables in your paper is highly encouraged, but they should be of sufficient quality/resolution so that I can interpret them.
Figures, graphs and tables should include legends (explanatory text below or above in the case of tables), and should be properly cited in the text (see example with Figure 1 above). If you have used a figure/graph from the Internet of from another paper, you need to provide the source information from where you obtained the figure/graph. Which of the SDG’s you chose to write about is up to you. The research for your paper should include information about: Why we need a SDG for the particular topic you have chosen (i.e. why is there a sustainability issue in the first place)? This can serve as you introduction to your topic, and should be based on scientific evidence as far as possible. What are the goals listed for the SDG of your choice, what can we do to meet these goals and by when?
Some of this information can be obtained from the excellent UN website for SDG’s, whereas the solution on how to meet them can be obtained from either scientific literature or government reports. Give local/regional examples of how UAE is achieving these goals. What are the specific actions taken, and how far have UAE come to meet the targets for the SDG of your choice? This can be obtained from government reports, websites or even interviews with relevant persons if you are really ambitious. You need to include a proper bibliography of your sources using APA style in-text citations and referencing.
