Preserving Life on Land: Achieving Sustainable Development Goal 15

Goal 15 of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is focused on ensuring life on land, recognizing the importance of preserving and restoring ecosystems, promoting sustainable land management, and halting biodiversity loss. With the global population steadily increasing and human activities placing unprecedented pressures on terrestrial ecosystems, achieving Goal 15 is crucial for the well-being of both present and future generations. This article delves into the significance of Goal 15 and highlights key strategies and actions needed to protect and restore life on land.

The Importance of Goal 15 for a Sustainable Future

Goal 15, "Life on Land," holds immense significance as a fundamental pillar for sustainable development. Terrestrial ecosystems encompass a wide array of habitats, including forests, grasslands, wetlands, and deserts, each playing a vital role in supporting life on Earth. These ecosystems provide essential services that are critical for human well-being and the overall health of our planet.

One of the primary services provided by terrestrial ecosystems is the regulation of essential resources such as clean air, water, and soil fertility. Forests, for instance, act as "green lungs" by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, contributing to the purification of the air we breathe. They also act as natural filters, regulating water quality by capturing and filtering rainfall, replenishing groundwater reserves, and preventing soil erosion. Furthermore, healthy soils support agricultural productivity, ensuring food security for communities around the world.

Beyond the provision of essential resources, terrestrial ecosystems also support biodiversity and cultural diversity. They serve as habitats for countless species, many of which are yet to be discovered or understood fully. Biodiversity is crucial for maintaining the resilience and adaptability of ecosystems, as each species plays a unique role in the intricate web of life. Moreover, diverse ecosystems offer valuable opportunities for recreation, tourism, and cultural practices, enriching our lives and connecting us to our natural heritage.

Unfortunately, unsustainable land use practices pose significant threats to terrestrial ecosystems. Deforestation, driven primarily by agricultural expansion, logging, and infrastructure development, leads to habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation. As forests are cleared, countless species lose their homes, pushing them closer to extinction. Moreover, the destruction of forests and other ecosystems disrupts the delicate balance of ecological processes, such as nutrient cycling, pollination, and seed dispersal, which are essential for the survival of ecosystems and the species they support.

Climate change further exacerbates the challenges faced by terrestrial ecosystems. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events pose significant risks to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Many species are struggling to adapt to these rapid changes, leading to population declines and local extinctions. The impacts of climate change also contribute to land degradation and desertification, further compromising the productivity and resilience of terrestrial ecosystems.

By achieving Goal 15, we can address these pressing issues and protect the invaluable services provided by terrestrial ecosystems. Safeguarding biodiversity is crucial for maintaining the functionality and resilience of ecosystems. Preserving intact forests, restoring degraded habitats, and establishing protected areas are essential steps towards achieving this goal. These actions not only offer refuge to endangered species but also contribute to the preservation of genetic diversity and the restoration of ecological balance.

Moreover, achieving Goal 15 contributes to poverty eradication and the promotion of sustainable agriculture. Many communities around the world depend on healthy terrestrial ecosystems for their livelihoods, relying on agriculture, forestry, and other natural resources for income and sustenance. Sustainable land management practices, such as agroforestry, organic farming, and regenerative agriculture, can enhance productivity while minimizing the environmental footprint. By prioritizing sustainable agriculture and providing support to local communities, Goal 15 can foster economic resilience and ensure the well-being of both people and the planet.

Furthermore, achieving Goal 15 is crucial for the resilience of communities and economies that rely on healthy terrestrial ecosystems. Ecosystem services, such as water regulation, flood control, and climate regulation, are essential for reducing the vulnerability of communities to natural disasters and climate change impacts. By maintaining intact ecosystems, we enhance the capacity of landscapes to withstand and recover from environmental shocks, ensuring the long-term well-being and stability of communities.

Goal 15: Life on Land is a vital component of the Sustainable Development Goals, addressing the urgent need to protect and restore terrestrial ecosystems. By safeguarding biodiversity, preserving essential ecological functions, and mitigating the impacts of unsustainable land use practices and climate change, we can maintain the delicate interconnectedness between all forms of life on Earth. Achieving Goal 15 not only contributes to the preservation of our planet's natural heritage but also promotes poverty eradication, sustainable agriculture, and the resilience of communities and economies. It is an imperative task that requires collective efforts and the integration of sustainable practices into our daily lives and policy decisions. Only through our commitment to Goal 15 can we secure a sustainable future where life on land thrives for generations to come.

Preserving Biodiversity and Halting Deforestation

Biodiversity is the foundation of life on land, and protecting it is crucial for maintaining healthy ecosystems. One key aspect of Goal 15 is halting deforestation and restoring degraded forests. Deforestation not only contributes to greenhouse gas emissions but also disrupts ecosystems, displaces indigenous communities, and threatens the habitat of countless species. Governments, organizations, and individuals must collaborate to implement sustainable land-use practices, promote reforestation initiatives, and strengthen protected areas to conserve and restore forests.

Additionally, preserving biodiversity extends beyond forests. It involves protecting endangered species, conserving habitats such as wetlands and grasslands, and curbing the illegal wildlife trade. Ensuring the effective management of protected areas and promoting sustainable use of natural resources are vital components in achieving this goal.

Promoting Sustainable Land Management and Combating Desertification

Sustainable land management is essential for ensuring the productivity and resilience of terrestrial ecosystems. Degraded lands, soil erosion, and desertification pose significant challenges to achieving Goal 15. Land degradation not only affects agricultural productivity but also exacerbates climate change impacts, water scarcity, and food insecurity.

To combat these issues, sustainable land management practices such as agroforestry, conservation agriculture, and integrated watershed management must be adopted. These practices help restore soil fertility, reduce erosion, and enhance water retention capacity. Furthermore, promoting sustainable land management techniques can create employment opportunities, improve food security, and mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Addressing Climate Change and its Impact on Terrestrial Ecosystems

Climate change poses a severe threat to life on land. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events can disrupt ecosystems, exacerbate desertification, and increase the vulnerability of species and communities. To achieve Goal 15, it is crucial to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions through renewable energy adoption, transitioning to sustainable agricultural practices, and promoting afforestation and reforestation efforts are vital steps in combating climate change. Additionally, enhancing the resilience of ecosystems and communities through nature-based solutions, such as the restoration of mangroves and wetlands, can provide multiple benefits, including coastal protection, carbon sequestration, and the preservation of biodiversity.

Promoting Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns

Consumer choices and production practices significantly impact terrestrial ecosystems. Unsustainable consumption, overexploitation of natural resources, and pollution contribute to land degradation and biodiversity loss. Achieving Goal 15 requires transitioning towards sustainable consumption and production patterns.

This can be accomplished through various means, such as promoting circular economy principles, reducing waste generation, adopting sustainable agricultural practices, and embracing eco-friendly technologies. Additionally, raising awareness among individuals and businesses about the environmental impacts of their choices and encouraging sustainable alternatives can drive positive change.

Conclusion

Goal 15: Life on Land is a critical component of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, aiming to preserve and restore terrestrial ecosystems, protect biodiversity, and combat land degradation. By halting deforestation, promoting sustainable land management, addressing climate change impacts, and embracing sustainable consumption and production patterns, we can ensure the long-term viability of life on land. Achieving Goal 15 not only benefits the environment but also enhances human well-being, promotes socio-economic development, and contributes to the overall sustainability of our planet. It is our collective responsibility to work towards a future where life on land thrives, and every individual can play a part in realizing this goal.

🕸️New Release Blog at EricLeo.org - I release on the 1st, 3rd, and if there is a 5th Friday of every month. Each release has its own post in my new release blog which is constantly being updated. The same posts are also here on this Tumblr blog as I post them at the same time.

🌍108 The Story Of Discovering Earth’s Consciousness (post) - I am now an author and this is my first book. The book is nonfiction and autobiographical and about celestial consciousness, my personal story of struggling with schizoaffective disorder, atmospheric consciousness, sustainability, and eugenics, and finishes with what the number 108 means for the origins of life on Earth.

💿🌍Read “108” (album) - As I am a hip-hop artist, I also wrote an album to compliment, popularize, and promote my book “108” as a tool. It’s much quicker to understand what “108” is about by listening to the “Read 108” track. The album stands alone and is more focused on saying some in hip-hop, being relevant, and keeping with the Emma Watson romantic narrative. 

🚸🚜 Knhoeing 2020 -  The information is broken down into celestial consciousness, atmospheric consciousness, sustainability, and eugenics. Knhoeing states the planets, stars, and atmosphere are alive, and how humans can understand that through sustainability and eugenics. Knhoeing has to do with understanding your position in the universe and expresses and addresses human purpose through a eugenics goal. In order to survive & thrive as a species, we must support ourselves through healthy sustainability and breed to understand higher dimensions. 

🙏Sentientism 2022 - This post contains insights into my mind and the voice in my head, Gaia. I explain how sentientism is the religion of Gaia where you worship through action and create dogma through science and philosophy. If the planet earth is conscious how would she try to communicate considering she has no mouth or ligaments? How would Gaia try to communicate? I postulate and explain how Gaia could be communicating through a kind of telepathic randonauting. 

📐 Expanding on Plato’s Philosophy: Forms and the Tripartite Soul (2020) - In this treatise, I explain how Plato’s forms are stored and strived for by Gaia and how Plato’s theory about the tripartite soul is similar to my theory about the will. 

♟️ Logic - This post is a short introduction to logic. I use quotes and pictures of pages from the book “How Philosophy Works.” The content includes deductive, inductive, and abductive reasoning, fallacies, and formal logic. I have also embedded a couple CrashCourse videos.

Sociology:

🏚️American Inequality 2022 - This post is a rap song and essay I wrote about inequality in America. In this post I talk about what socialism is, how money is speech, and how corporations are legal persons and farming humans for labor and money (through consumption). This will be updated semi-annually and can be found at FarmingHumans.com

🧾Nouveau Economics 2022 - In this post I talk about how the economy needs to account for what the environment does naturally and give it a monetary value. A start is how certain parts of the environment, like Lake Erie, are being granded personhood. This will be updated semi-annually and can be found at NouveauEconomics.com

🍱 The Psycho Consumption Cage 2021 - In this treatise I talk about how it’s hard to see environmental degradation that is not added in our economics, how you should be using your buying power strategically, how apex species need economic and congressional representation, some solutions, and examples of psycho tendencies from Christmas and hip-hop.

🏳️‍🌈 Gender Equality 2021 - In this essay, I break down gender equality into six categories: LGBTQ, Phobic, Sexual, Mental, Feminist, and Economic. To properly show the subject of gender equality I reference the 6 Netflix documentaries and linked and discuss related videos from Ellen, HeForShe, TED, Jordan Peterson, The World Bank, and the UN.

🏁 Dark Racism 2021 - In this treatise I explain the science of racism, how it’s an arbitrary distinction that is socially constructed. Black people do have it worse due to institutionalized racism and white privilege. However, I talk about how black people create their own in-group morality around the word “nigga,” and my presented solution.  

🌎👣 Earth: Sustainability, How To Save Our Planet - If you want to know how to save our planet this post is the summation. Taking from the featured WWF video, I focus on a carbon tax and the three ways to save the planet. Along the way I discuss how it relates to The Psycho Consumption Cage.

🌲Marijuana Treatise 2021 - Published on April 20th and introduced with a discussion of my personal use, in this essay, I wrote about the versatility of hemp, the immorality and failure of the war on drugs, and the medical benefits of cannabis. 

Cosmic Luve posts: (In Chronological Order)

The Chalice Mixtape, 2017 - This is a mixtape I did from jacked industry beats back in 2017. It was a response to the cosmic love I’d been seeing and I talk about in the blog and “108” book. I love Emma Watson and I want her to think about me so I came up with a fantasy and rapped about it. I took Emma Watson and Taylor Swift’s middle name, Charlotte and Alyson (who I changed to Alice), and made songs talking to them with the subject of gender equality and the theme of Charlotte's Web and Alice In Wonderland. 

Emma Watson Cosmic Love, Feb. 2020 - In this short personal post I explain why Emma Watson is my cosmic love. I reference my book “108” and show how new semantics are reflected through Emma artistically showing my name in yellow.

Selena Gomez Cosmic Love, April 2021 - In this post I explain how Selena Gomez is reflecting me and why she is also a cosmic love. Coming in phases, I reference the semantics and show why I believe this to be true.

Taylor Swift Renegade Response, Aug 2021 - This is an audio track post of a rap song I did responding to an experience with a grasshopper that reminded me of Taylor Swift and provoked a response.

Cosmic Love 2022: Cary, Charlotte, or Mary, April 2022 - This is an audio track post of a rap song I did talking about how I’m after three women, Cary, Charlotte, and Mary. These are all close or exact middle names of Hailee Steinfeld, Emma Watson, and Selena Gomez respectively.

How High-Protein Diets Help with Weight Loss: The Science Explained

When it comes to losing weight, many diets claim to offer the best solution. Among these, high-protein diets have gained significant attention for their effectiveness. But how exactly do high protein weight loss foods help you shed those extra pounds? The answer lies in the science behind how protein interacts with your body’s metabolism, appetite, and muscle mass. Here’s a closer look at the mechanisms through which high-protein diets contribute to weight loss.

Protein Increases Satiety and Reduces Appetite

One of the most significant ways that high-protein weight loss foods aid in shedding pounds is by increasing satiety. Protein is more filling than carbohydrates or fats, meaning that after consuming a high-protein meal, you’re likely to feel full longer. This effect can lead to a natural reduction in calorie intake without the need for restrictive dieting.

The satiety-boosting effects of protein are linked to its impact on appetite-regulating hormones. Protein consumption increases the release of hormones like peptide YY (PYY) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), both of which signal to your brain that you’re full. At the same time, protein lowers levels of ghrelin, the “hunger hormone,” which can reduce cravings and help prevent overeating.

Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) and Increased Calorie Burning

Another way high-protein diets promote weight loss is through the thermic effect of food (TEF), which refers to the energy required to digest, absorb, and process the nutrients in your food. Protein has a higher TEF compared to carbohydrates and fats, meaning your body burns more calories digesting protein than it does with other macronutrients.

Research suggests that the TEF of protein can boost metabolism by 15-30%, compared to 5-10% for carbohydrates and 0-3% for fats. This increase in calorie burning, though it may seem small on a daily basis, can add up over time and contribute to weight loss.

Preservation of Lean Muscle Mass

One of the challenges of weight loss is that it often leads to the loss of muscle mass along with fat. However, consuming high-protein weight loss foods can help preserve lean muscle mass during periods of calorie restriction. Muscle mass is crucial not only for strength and physical appearance but also for maintaining a healthy metabolism.

Protein provides the essential amino acids needed to repair and build muscle tissue. When you’re in a calorie deficit, your body might break down muscle for energy if it doesn’t get enough protein. By ensuring an adequate protein intake, you can minimize muscle loss, which in turn helps maintain a higher metabolic rate. This preservation of muscle mass is particularly beneficial for long-term weight management.

Stabilization of Blood Sugar Levels

High-protein diets can also help stabilize blood sugar levels, which is important for weight loss and overall health. Unlike carbohydrates, which can cause spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels, protein has a minimal impact on blood sugar. Stable blood sugar levels prevent energy crashes and reduce cravings for sugary and high-calorie foods.

Moreover, including protein in your meals slows down the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream. This effect can help keep you feeling energized and less likely to reach for unhealthy snacks between meals.

Long-Term Weight Maintenance

While losing weight is the primary goal of many diets, maintaining that weight loss is often the more challenging part. High-protein diets have been shown to be effective not only for weight loss but also for preventing weight regain. The combination of increased satiety, preservation of muscle mass, and stable blood sugar levels creates a sustainable eating pattern that supports long-term weight maintenance.

In fact, studies have found that people who follow high-protein diets are more likely to stick to their dietary plan and maintain their weight loss over time compared to those on lower-protein diets. This makes high-protein weight loss foods an excellent choice for those looking to achieve lasting results.

Conclusion

The science behind how high protein weight loss foods aid in shedding pounds is clear: they increase satiety, boost metabolism through the thermic effect of food, help preserve muscle mass, stabilize blood sugar levels, and support long-term weight maintenance. By incorporating more protein into your diet, you can create a powerful foundation for effective and sustainable weight loss. Whether you’re just starting your weight loss journey or looking to maintain your results, focusing on high-protein foods can help you achieve your goals in a healthy and manageable way.

What are the ways to fight obesity?

Obesity is a chronic disease affecting an increasing number of children, teens, and adults. There are several ways to fight obesity, and these include:

Improving Eating Habits and Increasing Physical Activity:

Healthy eating habit as well as keeping a food diary of what you eat, where you were, and how you were feeling before and after you eat can help in monitoring eating habits. Increase consumption of a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Portion control and mindful eating can also help manage calorie intake. Eating five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables daily is recommended for adults.

Finding ways to get even 10 or 15 minutes of some type of activity during the day, such as walking around the block or up and down a few flights of stairs, is a good start to increasing physical activity.

Healthy Lifestyle Strategies:

Avoiding large meals and caffeine before bedtime and increasing physical exercise to help the body relax better at night can contribute to a healthy lifestyle.

Getting good sleep, finding ways to reduce stress, and managing lifestyle factors such as a balanced diet, physical activity, and getting enough sleep are important for preventing obesity.

Change behavior such as setting realistic goals, keeping food and activity journals, identifying triggers for overeating, and finding alternative coping strategies for stress or emotions.

Raise awareness about the health risks associated with obesity and the benefits of adopting a healthier lifestyle. Provide education on nutrition, portion sizes, reading food labels, and making healthier food choices.

Medical Management and Professional Support:

Provide access to healthcare services that offer obesity screening, counseling, and management, including medical interventions such as weight loss medications or bariatric surgery for individuals with severe obesity who have tried other means of sustainable weight loss programs that don’t work.

Early intervention and prevention efforts, particularly in childhood, by promoting breastfeeding, encouraging healthy eating habits from a young age, increasing physical activity opportunities in schools, and reducing exposure to unhealthy food marketing. Address environmental factors that contribute to obesity, such as food deserts (areas with limited access to healthy food options), the availability of unhealthy foods in communities, and urban design that discourages physical activity.

Recognize and respect cultural differences in food preferences, traditions, and beliefs while promoting healthier options within culture.

Fighting obesity calls for a long-term, all-inclusive approach. Everyone, including people, local groups, healthcare workers, government officials, and various key players works as a team to make environments that encourage healthy decisions and habits.

WEEK 6: SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCERS AND THE SLOW FASHION MOVEMENT

1. Fast fashion:

Fast fashion has grown in popularity in recent years, coinciding with rapid development and the demand for inexpensive and convenient clothing in the "fast-food" manner. Dr. Preeti Arya, an assistant professor of textile development and marketing at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, defines fast fashion as a business model that focuses on producing clothing in large quantities and as quickly as feasible in reaction to current trends (Nicioli 2023). The term first appeared in a New York Times article in 1989, when Zara's first store debuted in the United States. According to the Times, the clothing were meant to be designed from concept to final product in 15 days, at moderate pricing and with client ease.

Ever since the inception of "fast-fashion" trend, brands such as Zara, H&M or Mango has been trying to replicate styles which inspired from prestigious runways of New York, Milan, Paris, etc. The great side is that they can do a mass production of those so-called "trendy designs in real-time" as brands can deliver vast amounts of apparel and ensure that customers never run out of inventory (Stanton 2023). The goal is very clear: Getting these designs into customers' hands while the clothing is still popular and affordable. Buyers can experience dressed in the same manner as their favorite celebrities, as if they were on the real fashion runway, for a much fairer price.

2. Impacts of “instant noodle” fashion styles on the environment:

However, everything has their own down side and fast-fashion is not an inception. Given the fact that brands have been producing clothes in mass quantities, the consequences of it has always been a hot topic, if not the hottest to debate. The fashion industry has faced criticism for failing to address social and environmental concerns, putting non-financial expenses on the global agenda (Niinimäki et al. 2020) and an analysis from Business Insider has proven it right. Fashion production accounts for 10% of total world carbon emissions, which is comparable to the European Union. It depletes water resources and pollutes rivers and streams, and 85% of all textiles end up in landfills each year (Maiti 2024). Washing clothes everyday might seem to be a harmless daily to-do in every individual's bucket list but in reality, it throws 500,000 tons of microfibres into the ocean each year, which is comparable to 50 billion plastic bottles. Fiber production is also regarded as one of the major contributions to the industry's worldwide pollution footprint. The survey also discovered that fiber production has the greatest impact on freshwater withdrawal (water diverted or removed from a surface water or groundwater source) and ecosystem quality due to cotton agriculture. The UN predicts that by 2030, emissions from textile production would have increased by 60%.

3. "Slow fashion - slow food - slow digestion"

On the other brighter side, Kate Fletcher (2007) developed the slow fashion movement after being inspired by the "slow food" movement, which promotes responsibility in food production and consumption. Slow fashion companies prioritize craftsmanship, environmental stewardship, and high-quality items (Brewer 2019). Slow fashion is a fashion philosophy that values sustainability, ethical principles, and quality before quantity. It focuses on quality above quantity, ethical manufacturing, sustainable resources, local production, and transparency.

4. Effects of slow fashion on the environment:

Subsequently, slow fashion emphasizes environmentally friendly processes and ethical working conditions. In contrast to fast fashion, it values quality and longevity while advocating for both the environment and people. Slow fashion promotes environmentally friendly materials, decreases waste, lowers carbon emissions, and encourages ethical manufacturing practices. It also ensures quality manufacturing, which extends the life of the garment or material. A growing number of farms and organizations support the slow-fashion movement. One such example is the Better Cotton Initiative, which establishes principles and practices for sustainable production, while several other organizations provide resources and information to modern farmers. Slow fashion seeks to foster a more sustainable and ethical fashion sector that prioritizes workmanship, durability, and social responsibility by encouraging thoughtful consumption and responsible production processes.

Week 6: Digital Citizenship Case Study: Social Media Influencers and the Slow Fashion Movement

The fashion industry's social and ecological impact has been extensively researched and well-documented in recent years. In 2017, Europeans bought 6.4 million tons of new clothes. Research indicates that from 1996 to 2012, each person increased their purchases of new clothes by 40%, resulting in a larger ecological impact on the fashion industry (Domingos, Vale & Faria 2022). According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Americans generate an average of 16 million tons of textile and apparel waste annually, with only 15% being recycled (Chi et al. 2021). As consumers and other interested parties become more aware of the negative environmental effects of our disposable clothing culture, there is a growing demand for companies to change their practices in order to reduce their impact on the environment. Studies indicate that increased awareness of unsustainable business practices can influence consumer behavior and perceptions.

Informed consumers are now focusing on the long-term well-being of both people and the planet, leading to the emergence of a new trend named Slow Fashion. The concept of slow fashion draws inspiration from the slow food movement, initiated by Carlo Petrini in Italy in 1986, which emphasizes the connection between enjoyment and food, while also promoting consciousness and accountability. Slow fashion is characterized by the shift towards sustainable practices and a reevaluation of fundamental principles within the fashion industry. This involves a focus on creating longer-lasting products using traditional production methods or design concepts that are not tied to specific seasons, with an emphasis on quality to promote sustainability. The movement promotes a business philosophy that prioritizes quality over speed, with an emphasis on slower production, ethical practices, and the creation of well-crafted, enduring products.

Slow fashion advocates for a more deliberate, consistent, and sustainable approach by using sustainable raw materials such as lotus, banana, and orange fiber. It also encourages the use of vintage or second-hand clothing, as well as the upcycling of old materials (Kapu 2023). Nevertheless, the slow fashion movement is confronted with a challenging task due to the widespread availability of cheap, imitation designs in a market driven by growing consumer demand. As a result, government policies need to be implemented, supply chains to be reoriented, and consumers to be more informed and involved to create fair competition between fast and slow fashion (Brewer 2019).

Social media has become an integral part of the daily lives of most consumers. One significant impact of regular social media usage is the behavioral changes that occur as a result of observing others online. The argument surrounding social media influencers revolves around whether their posts aim to educate their audience on sustainability or to promote consumption. The concepts of sustainability and fashion are often seen as contradictory. Furthermore, there are individuals who contend that sustainable influencers promote consumption and endorse unethical or greenwashing brands, thus perpetuating a misleading concept of sustainability. It appears that the concept of sustainability promoted by influential advocates is increasingly being used more as a marketing strategy for brands, rather than a genuine goal.

Shein is one of the largest fast-fashion companies in the world. It maintains a strong connection with its loyal Gen Z customer base by dominating various social media platforms. Otherwise, sustainable products are usually consumed at slower rates and in smaller quantities, while fashion is focused on fast production and large consumption.

��How can you pretend to care about the environment or labour issues when you support this? Shein is the worst of the worst disposable fashion companies,” one Twitter user wrote, addressing InStyle. “Shein is one of the most unethical fashion brands,” wrote another on the Instagram account of Khloe Kardashian, one of the judges on the show.

In Japan, like in other regions, there is a growing enthusiasm for slow fashion, with an increasing demand for handmade, inherited, and recycled clothing. Scholar Milhaupt observed that the increasing fascination with the kimono during the 1980s and 1990s retro-boom might be linked to a desire for a slower, more traditional way of life that was no longer feasible in the high-growth, bubble economy of the 1980s (Hall 2017). Pagong Kamedatomi Co. Ltd is one of the most famous Kimono fabric manufacturers known for their emphasis on high-quality garments that are designed to last for a long time, in addition to their small-scale production. The design and production of the kimono robe prioritize the reduction of waste during the cutting and sewing process. Kimono fabric is typically produced in bolts of standard width, approximately 34–40 centimeters, with each bolt containing enough material, approximately 11–12 meters, to create one adult-sized kimono. When creating a kimono, there is very little cutting and hardly any fabric is wasted. Then, Kimonos had a longer lifespan compared to most Western clothing due to their structure, which meant that overall styles did not change as frequently. That’s why one size could fit all, allowing kimonos to be passed down through successive generations. 

I have trans to slow fashion for some years, like a shirt could be washed 100 times.

The Role of International Sustainability Law in International Accountability and Sustainable Development Goals

By Summer Lee, University of Colorado Boulder Class of 2023

January 1, 2024

As global development and industrialization has sparked an increase in the consumption of natural resources, environmental pollutants, and waste, both state actors and international organizations are increasingly concerned over its effects on the environment. Consequently, the push towards sustainable development has gained prominence. According to UN Secretary General António Guterres, extreme temperatures and weather have clearly indicated the presence of climate change in 2023, and international efforts to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been insufficient. The 2023 United in Science report also notes that only 15% of SDGs have made significant progress [1]. In an effort to address these issues, global leaders and organizations are looking for alternative ways to lower CO2 emissions and achieve SDGs.

The definition of international sustainable development is controversial. Following the 1992 UN Conference on the Environment and Development and the 2002 World Summit for Sustainable Development, discussions regarding sustainable development quickly gained traction. The World Commission on Environment and Development eventually defined sustainable development as the relationship between economic and environmental objectives. However, the Brundtland Report’s definition of sustainable development rejected this definition. Instead, the report defined sustainable development in terms of how economic development affects interactions between different ecosystems and the availability of natural resources [2]. In the context of international sustainable development law, however, sustainable development is generally defined as a form of development which promotes an improved quality of life for current generations and avoids harming the quality of life for future generations [3]. 

Generally speaking, international sustainability laws aim to promote the current and future generation’s quality of life by focusing on global environmental issues and environmental protection strategies [3]. The application of international sustainability laws towards sustainable development can be understood in two different ways: (1) as a dynamic, developing process, and (2) as a promotion of a legal norm which must equally consider the role of other legal norms relevant to the growth of the economy, social justice, and the protection of the environment. In the first view of international sustainability laws, legal norms, principles, and treaties found under international socioeconomic laws often overlap with those under international environmental laws. The interactions between the two results in gradual changes being made to international sustainability laws. In the second view, this legal norm can be legally binding or legally non-binding. International sustainability laws can be legally binding through relevant treaties or legal norms set by national governments and judicial branches, whereas non-legally binding legal norms can leave more room for negotiation between different parties and increased flexibility to changes in global socioeconomic issues and events [2]. 

Some questions have also been raised as to how international sustainability laws can hold state actors accountable to sustainable development goals. In regard to armed conflicts and international criminal law, the prosecution of social and political crimes has usually been prioritized over the prosecution of environmental ones. Violations of international sustainability laws usually result in fines for the infringing party. The infringing party can agree to pay these fines, but it will not necessarily disincentivize the infringing party from engaging in environmental crimes in the future.  Prosecution for environmental damages can also be difficult because the alleged infringer may not have been fully aware of the severity of the environmental damage caused by their actions. Domestic laws also have legal limitations because environmental disputes involve multiple countries [4]. In this way, holding infringing parties legally accountable under international sustainability laws can be a difficult and complex process. 

While issues of holding parties accountable for environmental crimes can be complicated, applications of the rule of law to environmental legal issues have strengthened state actor’s rights and responsibilities towards the environment. In 2013, the implementation of Decision 27/9, on Advancing Justice, Governance and Law for Environmental Sustainability introduced the legal concept of “environmental rule of law”, and Member States acknowledged its significance and role in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this way, the UN Environment Programme proposes that environmental law can promote sustainable development goals by protecting the current and future generation’s access to natural resources and socioeconomic rights [5].
