Goal 16: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.

Do you think the world has achieved peace?

At the global level, although people’s efforts have prevented a world war III from breaking out for a long time, there still are conflicts happening all around the world.

While you are reading this article, someone, somewhere is possibly indulged in an act of violence and/ or committing a crime at the individual level.

In other words, it will be difficult to say that world peace has been realized and people are enjoying a completely safe and peaceful world

What are the considerable reasons?

Law?

It is true that a lot of illegal actions are roots cause of modern anarchy world: illicit financial and arms flow, bribery and corruption,: legally unregistered children who are denied access to social warfare including education.

What causes people to perform such injustice actions?

Hypocrisy; the person does not recognize that his/her actions have a negative effects on others and may, on the contrary, believe that their actions rather results in the welfare of people.

How can we reduce the misleading?

• Rules guarding people’s actions should be put in place and enforced and be made accessible to all
• international or national organization supporting these rules should be strengthened
• children should not only study mathematics, language and science in school but also have the opportunity to take lessons in issues pertaining to justice and morals
• Every country should make a conscious effort to participate in creating global governance.

In order to accomplish a war- free world where all humans can have a fair share of peace, people have to uphold the law!!

Goal 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all.
Modern energy is an essential part of human life. Since the energy resources changed from coal to natural gas and petroleum, our lives have been dramatically improved in many fields: household, communication, cooking, security, and sanitation. In addition to these visible contributions, we have enjoyed other benefits These energy resources enable us to control more safely unexpected accident, such as premature deaths caused by indoor air pollution., The energy efficiency of thesemodern energy is higher than the latter hence less resources needed which allows us to save for a sustainable future. We therefore need to make aconsensus effort to conserve energy reflecting on the facts that “One in five people still lacks access to modern electricity” and “3 billion people rely on wood, coal, charcoal or animal waste for cooking and heating.”
Energy - United Nations Sustainable Development." UN News Center. UN. Web. 02 Feb. 2016. .
Lack of access to the modern energy is the biggest reason of poverty. The more efficient resources and ways ofgenerating energy we find, the less poverty and climate change people would suffer from and the more comfortable life people could enjoy.
