7. Consider the tenets of the Christian worldview perspective, Conscious Capitalism, and/or servant leadership and describe how they can be demonstrated by the hospitality industry through employing sustainable hospitality management strategies.

1)Gender Equality

Enable to end the discriminations against women and girls was not only the human right of every individual. It is crucial on the sustainable future. It is a goal to empower women and girls as a part of economic growth and economy.

Measures has been monitored and managed and increasing companies which tracking, managing and implementing water solutions. It needs corporate action because it relies robust data and landscape and the needs to change to ensure environmental sustainability in water.

The use of the largest data set in the world can offer insights to measure track and progress and accelerate actions to meet sustainability of clean water and proper sanitation

3)Renewable Energy

Between the year 2000 to 2016b base on the data the number of people who have electricity reach from 78% to 87% . Number of people still without electricity dipped below is one billion as of counting. As population continues to grow the demand of cheap electricity is rising. Economies dependent on fossil fuels has drastic changes to our climate. There are alot of investing in energy produces by solar, wind and thermal power, improving energy productivity, and ensuring that energy are vital to every one as they targeted until 2030.

4)Good Jobs and Economic Growth

Extreme poverty declined dramatically over the past 25 years, despite the lasting impact of 2008 economic crisis and global recession. The global economy continues to recover but we are seeing slower growth, existing inequalities and not enough job to keep up the growing manpower. Based on the data of international labour Organization, over 204 millions are unemployed as of 2015

SDG promote sustainable economic growth, higher level of productivity, and technology innovation which encourage Entrepreneur to create jobs and effective measures to eradicate forced labor, slavery and the so called human trafficking. The goal is to achieve the full and productive employment and people will have decent job for all women and men by 2030.

5)Innovation and Infrastructure

Quality development, must be reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure, including regional and transborder infrastructure. Promotes inclusive and sustainable industrialization with target by 2030. The significant raise of the industry share of employment and gross domestic product produce with national circumstances and to double the share in least developed countries.

Upgrade infrastructure by year 2030 and retrofit industries to make them sustainable with increase of efficiency in resource. Support domestic technology development, research and innovation.

6)Reduced Inequalities

To be able to ensure that people everywhere have the ability to access essential services, opportunities, rights, and social protection, UN has called the extra ordinary scale of International support and political commitment about the matter. Response and recovery fund for those in needs which aim to support the low and middle income countries and vulnerable groups who are disproportionately bearing the socio economic impacts. In crisis, it is an opportunity to invest in policies and institutions that can turn the tide of inequality. This is to address inequality bear by the people who are incapable.

7)Sustainable Cities and Communities

More than half of us live in the City. Two thirds of all humanity by the year 2050 -6.5 billion of people - will be urban. In sustainable development cannot be achieved without if not transformed and build and manage the urban spaces.

The result of rapid growth in the Cities due to rising population and increasing migration boomed the mega cities most in developing countries.

The Cities must be sustainable by creating career and more business opportunities, with safe and affordable housing and building resilient societies economies. Public transport, green spaces and improving urban planning and management are part of the investments.

8)Consumption

Sustainable consumption and production was identified as one of the three overarching objectives of and essential requirement as sustainable development. It is about doing more and better with less. Currently, consuming more resources than ever exceeding the planet's capacity for generation. Waste and pollution grows, the gap between rich and poor is widening, Health, education, empowerment, equity are all affected.

It is the "use of services related products which respond to basic needs and bring better quality of the life while minimizing the use of natural resources and toxic materials as well as the emissions of waste and pollutants over the life cycle"

9)Climate

Every continent is affected by climate change. Disrupting each economies and affecting lives. To address the climate change, countries adopted the Paris Agreement at the COP21 in Paris on 12 December 2015. The agreement stated that movement will be enforced less than a year later. All countries agreed to work to limit global temperature to rise well below 2 degrees celsius and the grave risk of 1.5 degrees celsius

In your opinion answer those question:

1. Outline each of the main issues associated with the SDG.

• End poverty in all its form
• Zero hunger
• Health
• Eduaction
• gender Equality and women empowerment
• water and sanitation

2.Summarize the global challenge related to the SDG in an understandable way.

• First. How can we bring together the right stakeholders at the right time right place

-For example, the single goal of affordability, reliability, sustainability, modern energy for all cannot be done due to limited opportunities in community and government resources to achieve it. Means there somehow right stake holders but not in the right time, right time and place but no stakeholders to make it possible

• Second, How do we make difficult trade off

-For example addressing climate change will have co benefits for energy security, health, biodiversity and oceans. but the problem is it involves trade offs. Like difficult choices will need and involve winners and losers in the time being. In Simply way, whenever there is a problem and you will going to solve that problem, after solving that problem there will be another problem created through the problem you solved prior.

• Third, How do we build in accountability for the action

-For example, we wanted to solve a problem and we already know the obstacles and hindrances that we will encounter while finding the solution for the problem. In the end, if the solution that we plan to solve that problem will only worsen the problem, the accountable persons or organizations are pointing fingers to who ever it maybe to blame accountable to the matter.

3Define sustainable hospitality and explain why the hotel industry should be concerned with this SDG.

• Sustainable Hospitality defines as it must fulfil at least one of the following practices or features. It is a certain environmental. social and cultural principles into account at a time it design or showed. It is about respecting the surrounding both the social and natural creation.

May pollute ecosystem and cease the natural habitat of animals with their area. Local and national government imposes Law for this concern and the hotel organization and leaders must cooperate and follow this laws.

5.Discuss whether the hotel industry holds some responsibility in finding and applying solutions to mitigate the challenge.

• The hotel industry must hold the responsibility in finding and applying solutions. For example, waste water disposal must have proper disposal method and must not connected to discharge at rivers or other water bases which connected to community or natural resources because they will pollute water for long run

6Describe an innovation in the hotel industry that you believe will address the challenge presented by the SDG and align with sustainable hospitality management.

• One of innovation of hotel industry is become go Eco hotel. Where hotels connected by nature are same with the protection of nature. They are included on the protection and rehabilitation program on the area where their hotels have been built.

7.Consider the tenets of the Christian worldview perspective, Conscious Capitalism, and/or servant leadership and describe how they can be demonstrated by the hospitality industry through employing sustainable hospitality management strategies.
