This week I will cover Jamaica. Jamaica is a Caribbean nation that is known as the Bob Marley nation. They are additionally known for their comprehensive get-away packages, their sea shores and the mark reggae music. Jamaica has had history of catastrophic events and exceptionally various environmental change. Jamaica has focused on tending to these issues through execution of approaches and their maintainable formative objectives.


Their issues are expedited by "catastrophic events, negative impacts of environmental change, and elevated levels of obligation." These are enormous issues for the nation since it upsets the advancement of development among the nation. It impacts them financially with being a travelers fascination, supplies/assets and business. They plan on quickening the advancement towards the objective by actualizing national needs, distinguishing instruments and techniques for financing, and so on.

They have built up their vision, their ERP, which is a monetary change program to "give more prominent concentration to financial development." This will help with their elevated levels of obligation. They will likewise take a shot at atmosphere sealing which will assist them with dealing with the earth and manufacture Jamaica's "strength" to any future debacles traveled their direction. The United States battles with different environmental change and characteristic/man made calamities frequently yet I scarcely hear anything being done to change that. Contamination, debased water, man made seismic tremors because of penetrating; this and more can be anticipated if appropriate measures are taken. Indeed, even obligation, such a significant number of individuals in the U.S. are managing understudy credits alone.

This week I chose Germany and particularly about their air pollution and environmental health issues is getting along their part to have clean air quality all through their nation. Some portion of target 3.9 is to improve air quality and decrease death rates because of air contamination. Nobody should bite the dust or become ill since they don't have clean air to relax. 

One system Germany is instituting is the Berlin Low Emission Zone. The Berlin Low Emission Zone is the focal point of Berlin. They have a sticker framework that decides a vehicle's outflow status. Red being the more regrettable, yellow requiring improvement and green being outflow cordial. If a vehicle creates a lot of diesel residue they won't be permitted to stop or drive all through the city (The Low-Emission Zone/State of Berlin, 2019). The primary objective is for everybody to get their vehicles cutting-edge with the goal that the city has less air contamination from old or run-down vehicles that produce a ton of ash. 
The German government has attempted to maintain a strategic distance from bans by executing a few measures planned for decreasing emanations levels. Researchers stay distrustful about the adequacy of driving bans to cut down contamination levels, with many supporting for a city toll rather to diminish traffic volumes in all cases. As of now in January, the UBA expressed that nitrogen dioxide outflows in the nation had been in decrease in 2018, referring to nearby estimates, for example, speed limits, traffic limitations, recharging of vehicle armadas and the climate as reasons.

 More individuals are beginning to understand the significance of having a low outflow vehicle as a result of the need to pass through the low emanation zones. At the point when they purchase their vehicles, they will in general search for "Keen Cars" and Eco-accommodating makes and models. Anyway some advancement still should be done to escape from the BMW's and Volkswagen's that are famous all through Germany. It will be up to the individuals of Germany to choose in the event that they will settle on more intelligent choices concerning their air quality.

The advancement of wellbeing and prosperity is profoundly significant wherever around the globe which is the reason Afghanistan is doing all that they can to support the reason. The nation has been and is as of now chipping away at attempting to build the spending on wellbeing.

The objective is to get open spending which is as of now $10.92 to go up to $15 in any event per capita by 2020.  Another usage is change the entrance to crisis obstetric care by expanding the extent of ladies who have that entrance to up to 80%. There is so a lot of help and bolster required for this nation since they don't have a lot to seek after in the event that they require any restorative  consideration. 
The level of individuals who come up short on the capacity and even the help to get them the assistance that they need is genuinely high. The entrance to medicinal services is a tremendous issue in this nation. Tragically, a great many individuals endure genuine damage and even passing because of the absence of openness they need to getting the therapeutic consideration they may or could require. It is sheltered to state that at some point or another we could expect some improvement with respect to the issue since Afghanistan is certainly tending to the issue and they are picking up so much help and sorting out various projects and gatherings to help.

About 130 million babies are born every year around the world; out of those about 830 women die from pregnancy and at least half of those women are within the Sub-Saharan Africa area; more specifically Malawi in Southeast Africa (Global Citizen). Paolo Patruno, a social documentary photographer, began raising awareness of the continuous growing problem of maternal death in Africa when he teamed up with Rachel MacLead; a senior clinical midwife who worked in the labor ward of the Bwaila Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi’s capitol. “The main issues that are behind this matter are the same [no matter where you are in Africa,” Patruno told Global Citizen (Global Citizen). Patruno goes on to say that the growing number of maternal deaths can be viewed as a social problem, rather than a health issue. For example, women being unable to leave their homes for a long period of time. “In rural areas, women need to be away from their homes for a few weeks if they choose to give birth in a health center — it takes a number of days for them to reach health centers in the first place, and then they need to deliver and recover before heading back” (Patruno, Global Citizen).

Africa realizes that this is a growing problem country wide; therefore, it is a top priority for those with authority. Patruno has partnered with many government officials in order to renew and create resources for mothers. Resources during pregnancy such as education regarding the fetus and how to stay healthy along with healthy practices. Resources for medical officials regarding care during pregnancies. Far most the most important is Patruno using his skills within photography to photograph these mothers in the struggling areas to bring awareness to other countries. Though the problem is still at large, the number of maternal deaths has decreased by at least 12.3% in the last two years (Global Citizen).

The US is addressing this problem on so many different levels. We have advanced technology not only in the medical field and in healthcare center; but we have cars, public transportation, etc. that aids in making sure a woman is properly taken care of when going into labor. The number of maternal deaths compared to the number in Africa shows Africa larger by more than 50% (Goal 3). I solely believe that the United states is far more advanced technology wise, that we are allowed to have room for trial and error in order to set goals for problems and achieve those goals.

One part of Sustainable Development Goal #3 (3.4.2) is to bring down the suicide death rate. During the current week's blog, I took a gander at Canada and what its nation is doing to help bring down the suicide death rate. Right now, there are around ten passings by suicide for every day in Canada (Suicide in Canada, 2019). While there are numerous parts of psychological wellness, suicide is one of the greatest issue individuals are confronting with respect to their emotional well-being. Indeed, passing by suicide is the ninth driving reason for death for individuals in Canada.

The Mental Health Strategy for Canada was built up in 2012. They will probably "Advance emotional wellness over the life expectancy in homes, schools, and working environments, and avert psychological sickness and suicide any place possible."(Mental Health,2019). The Mental Health Strategy for Canada works with cops, firemen and police dispatchers to prepare them to converse with individuals who are thinking about suicide.

Canada as a nation is tending to suicide by financing research for anticipation. Since 2000, Canada has expanded the measure of research they share about suicide from 2% to 6% in 2015. A few angles they are concentrating their exploration on is family ancestry of psychological maladjustment, social components, and introduction to brutality.

Another establishment devoted to forestalling suicide is known as The Life Line Canada. Something one of a kind to them is that they have an application for advanced cells that clients can download and it gives instruction, counteractive action procedures and above all, it can undoubtedly interface you to an emergency focus day in and day out.



In spite of the fact that Canada's suicide rate is still around 10 for each 100,000 individuals, it has dropped since the 1970's the place it was around 16 for each 100,000. Canada has focused on bringing down the quantity of passings by suicide and their advancement is appeared.
