I think that it is also important to think about sustaining the agricultural products we already have; we need to think about reducing the consumption, not just thinking about increasing the productivity.

because of the burning of co2 and fossil fuels

heavy metals that normally don't degrade easily such as nitrate

Organic pollution occurs when an excess of organic matter, such as manure or sewage, enters the water

Seafood is actually said to become extinct by 2048 due to oceans warming and overfishing. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2006/11/seafood-biodiversity/ https://www.greenmatters.com/p/overfishing-overheated-oceans-fish-decline

Biodiversity is considered the base of agriculture as it is important for the production of food and thus provides food security. however, agriculture also leads to biodiversity loss because we sometimes convert natural habitats to intensely managed systems also releasing pollutants, including greenhouses gases.

one of the images that automatically come to my mind is the children asking for money in the streets. they are sometimes even younger than this

Egyptian government attempts to end child labor by 2025

Sometimes this is due to our culture also not just low education, the necessity of students to become either engineers or doctors, so they graduate with good potential, but they find out that there is no market demand for that amount of engineers and doctors, so they start taking courses in other field to find any other job. so ever since they are young, they are forced to study hard and work to reach a certain profession regardless of whether their skills match this job.

so unfair, In Egypt, though there are public hospitals, the level of service is not always so good, usually there are a lot of patients and just a limited number of hospitals and beds. so if a patient is really sick, but cannot afford to pay money for the private hospital, he/she might have to wait for a very long time to get a bed in a hospital and may not necessarily even get good service after all that.

Water use has been increasing worldwide by about 1per cent each year since the 1980s. https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-consumption-production/

Each year, an estimated one third of all food produced equivalent to 1.3 billion tons worth around $1 trillion ends up rotting in the bins of consumers and retailers, or spoiled due to poor transportation and harvesting practices. Meanwhile as previously mentioned the gap between the rich and poor's living standard is actually increasing. this is not sustainable consumption at all !!

Medical waste is considered a hazardous waste that if not disposed properly could cause humongous problems in the health of people and the spread of diseases.

we need proper initiatives and enforced laws to reduce solid waste disposals and reuse and recycle more. In Singapore, they have lots of books and catalogs about the 4 Rs and how to properly benefit from your waste before deciding to throw it away

especially when they include hazardous wastes, the risk of diseases becomes extremely high especially to pre school children and waste workers. diseases would include infections in skin and eyes. it could also lead to diseases like cancer. http://edugreen.teri.res.in/explore/solwaste/health.htm

I think one of the main problems some countries do not effectively manage their wastes is inadequate coverage. like yes In Egypt for instance we do have many businesses now that collect the waste, but they are all collecting the waste from the same places. so the problem is still present

I believe that nowadays, many startups help in certain phases of solid waste management. for instance in the collection phase, there are businesses such as Go Clean and Bekia who collect all sorts of waste and assist the government. though that is sometimes being opposed by the Zabaleen community

According to UN (2020), CO2 emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels account for over 65 per cent of global GHG emissions https://www.un.org/development/desa/dpad/wp-content/uploads/sites/45/WESP2020_CH2.pdf

the UNICEF in 2017 has estimated that by 2040, one in four of the world’s children under 18 will be living in areas of extremely high water stress.

In many areas women are held responsible to secure their families cooking, drinking and basic hygiene, this makes them responsible to find water resources. they sometimes stand in line for hours to get water, walk long distances and even pay money. It is said that women around the world will spend a collective 200 million hours collecting water.

also health and safety wise, when women are pregnant for instance, they need access to clean water to guarantee safety for them and their children. of course that is not always the case, pregnant women sometimes have to walk and carry heavy vessels of water to provide water for them and their families.

Sadly around 2.2 billion people currently do not have access to safe, clean drinking water.

According to UN World Water Development Report 2020 ‘Water and Climate Change, Climate change will also affect the availability, quality and quantity of water which will affect the sanitation and safe water drinking to many human beings

According to the UNDP, Every 2 seconds someone aged 30 to 70 years old dies prematurely from noncommunicable diseases - cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, diabetes or cancer.

Carcinogenesis is the formation of a cancer, whereby normal cells are transformed into cancer cells.

water can be polluted by municipal waste and industrial waste, the dumping of dead animal carcasses, and the release of chemical and hazardous industrial waste into the river. also the leakage of waste waste (leachate) contaminates water

According to the World Health Organization, Air pollution kills an estimated seven million people worldwide every year; 9 out of 10 people breathe air that contains high levels of pollutants.

though it has been proven that nations who have gender equality ted to perform better

Irregular migrants faced lots of challenges during Covid crisis because they are not supported by social protection, many countries however included irregular migrants in their COVID 19 responses. For instance, The US state of California gave cash payments to irregular migrants affected by the pandemic as they were left out from the pandemic stimulus package. https://www.iom.int/sites/default/files/documents/covid-19_analytical_snapshot_38_social_protection_of_migrants_0.pdf

because they face challenges to access social protection, 111 million migrant workers were affected by the corona crisis. https://ww1.issa.int/news/migrant-workers-and-covid-19

I mean yes opportunities for work might be lacking, but don't you think that sometimes job criteria are overwhelming?! I keep thinking of the fresh graduate, years of experience meme; that many companies demand fresh graduates to have experience of 30 year olds. maybe that is actually increasing the problem of youth unemployment and unequal opportunities

the youth unemployment rate in Egypt has reached 31.05% in 2019

I think the perk of this is discovering that certain jobs could be done remotely which might increase efficiency IF having all the right resources.

I think there would be a huge problem in countries where illiteracy is high.

A gig economy is a free market system in which temporary positions are common and organizations hire independent workers for short-term commitments. The term "gig" is a slang word for a job that lasts a specified period of time

Estimates in 2020 have presented that the overall reduction of seats offered by airlines ranged from 49% to 51%, you can only imagine the losses

In the second quarter, China actually rebounded its GDP growth a little bit, though it is expected to slow down again

but here is the problem with that, there are countries that don't have the facilities that would allow proper social distancing which might highly increase the risks of the spread even higher.

how exactly?? do all countries have budgets to change certain systems they have to do that ??

I think it's bigger than just unempowerment of women in employment. if I'm talking about Egypt for instance in specific, sometimes there are certain job criteria that require specific category of women which might cause discrimination of others.

Palestine ?? Myanmar ??
