[Lecture content]
The SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), launched in 2016, will enter the middle year in 2023. The ambitious goal of a poverty-free and sustainable society by 2030 has been forced by Corona to make a major setback, and the crisis of "global limits" such as climate change and biodiversity loss has not been awaited. am.
In this third lecture in the series, we will consider Africa, which is once again in a "crisis era" under the corona wreck. Since the 2000s, Africa, which seemed to have acquired a method of conflict resolution by Africa itself under the African Union, is currently in a difficult situation due to coups in West African countries and the civil war and turmoil in Ethiopia and Sudan. In addition to the complicated history, the economic recession caused by the corona disaster and the effects of climate change are overshadowed. On the other hand, some people are striving for Africa to rise from here and develop into peace. Think about the path of "better recovery" from the Corona disaster in Africa.
