, , 19 Comments

City, University of London is taking action to embed the 17 UN Global Goals into our education, research, leadership, operations and engagement activities. But what are those Goals, and how can you take action to support them too?

The Global Goals

In 2015 UN member states agreed on the 17 goals we need to achieve by 2030 to end poverty, combat climate change and fight injustice and inequality. These are the UN Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, and are commonly known as the Global Goals. Achieving the goals in just 15 years will take unprecedented international, political, scientific business and research collaboration. Everyone needs to do their part: governments, the private sector, civil society, universities and people like you.

Take a look at the 17 goals below. They cover everything from people, prosperity, peace and the planet.

Goal 1: No Poverty End Poverty in all its forms everywhere

Goal 10: Reduced inequalities Reduce inequality within and among countries

Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable

Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

Goal 13: Climate action Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

Goal 14: Life below water Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development

Goal 15: Life on land Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss

Goal 16: Peace, justice, and strong institutions Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels

    استخدم منظفًا منزليًا يسمى يمكن استخدامه فقط لإزالة الأوساخ العالقة من بشرتك ، لكنه لن يساعد في إزالة التشققات أو الخدوش. طريقة الاستخدام: ضعي طلاءًا على منديل ورقي أو ضعي كمية مناسبة على قطعة قماش ناعمة أو فرشاة أحذية شفافة ناعمة وابدئي في الفرك.زيادة. واحرص على عدم المبالغة في التكرار الدائم والمستمر لهذه العملية. وذلك لأن الاستخدام المتكرر سيؤدي إلى تلاشي البشرة وفقدانها لحيويتها ، ومع مرور الوقت ستصبح مترهلة وجافة ومتهالكة. هناك العديد من المستحضرات لتنظيف الأوساخ الملتصقة بالجلد الأبيض ، ويتم تسويقها تحت أسماء تجارية متعددة وكلها تقريبًا تؤدي المهمة المطلوبة بشكل جيد. على عكس الجلد ، فإن التشققات والخدوش ، وهي بؤر للجلد ، لها ملمس خشن واحتكاك ، لذلك يصعب حلها باستخدام مسحوق التنظيف العادي. تكمن المشكلة في أن الدهانات البيضاء على شكل بخاخات متوفرة الآن في السوق وتحتوي على مادة لاصقة. ، طلاء أبيض مشبع بالصمغ العربي يملأ الأوساخ ، مما يجعل من المستحيل تقريبًا التمييز بين الخدوش والأجزاء الأخرى السليمة باستخدام بالعين المجردة. هناك طرق شائعة يمكن استخدامها بالوسائل المتاحة في معظم الأسر. تتمثل الطريقة في خلط كمية صغيرة من بودرة الأطفال وكمية صغيرة من النشا مع كمية صغيرة من بيكربونات الصوديوم (طهي الكربونات) وخلط القوام مع العصير. اخلطي ملعقة كبيرة من الليمون وملعقة كبيرة من الحليب جيدًا واتركيها لفترة حتى تصبح كثيفة ، كما ستختفي أيضًا.

    عملية غسيل الطباخات تختلف اعتمادًا على نوع الطباخة والمواد المستخدمة في تصنيعها. ومع ذلك، إليك خطوات عامة يمكن اتباعها لغسيل الطباخات:
    إعداد المواد: قبل البدء في غسيل الطباخة، تأكد من تجهيز المواد اللازمة. قد تحتاج إلى صابون سائل أو مسحوق غسيل، فرشاة ناعمة أو إسفنجة، منشفة ناعمة وماء دافئ.
    إزالة القطع القابلة للنزع: قبل غسيل الطباخة، قم بإزالة القطع القابلة للنزع مثل رفوف الفرن والشبكات. قم بغسلها بشكل منفصل باستخدام المواد المناسبة.
    تنظيف السطح الخارجي: استخدم قطعة قماش نظيفة مبللة بالماء والصابون لتنظيف السطح الخارجي للطباخة. قد تحتاج إلى تجفيف السطح بواسطة منشفة ناعمة لمنع تكوّن البقع.
    تنظيف الأجزاء الداخلية: اتبع تعليمات الصانع لتنظيف الأجزاء الداخلية للطباخة. استخدم المنظفات المناسبة والفرشاة الناعمة لإزالة البقع والشحوم.
    تنظيف الأغطية والزجاج: إذا كانت الطباخة تحتوي على أغطية أو زجاجات قابلة للإزالة، قم بتنظيفها بشكل منفصل باستخدام المواد المناسبة.
