A multinational corporation is planning to establish a large agricultural operation in a low-income country. While this project promises economic benefits, concerns arise regarding potential displacement of local farmers, environmental degradation, and limited access to healthcare for the workers.
Which approach best demonstrates the importance of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in guiding this project?
Focusing solely on maximizing agricultural output and profit, assuming that economic growth will trickle down and eventually benefit the local community’s health and wellbeing.
Integrating sustainable farming practices, ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions, providing access to healthcare and education for workers and their families, and engaging with the local community to address their concerns and needs.
Prioritizing short-term employment opportunities for local residents, even if it means compromising environmental regulations and worker safety standards.
Negotiating solely with the national government to secure favorable operating terms, without consulting local communities or addressing their specific health and development needs.

In this unit, students examine health and human development in a global context. They use data to investigate health status and human development in different countries, exploring factors that contribute to health inequalities between and within countries, including the physical, social and economic conditions in which people live. Students build their understanding of health in a global context through examining changes in health status over time and studying the key concept of sustainability. They consider the health implications of increased globalisation and worldwide trends relating to climate change, digital technologies, world trade, tourism, conflict and the mass movement of people. Students consider global action to improve health and human development, focusing on the United Nations’ (UN’s) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the goals and objectives of the World Health Organization (WHO). They also investigate the role of non-government organisations and Australia’s overseas aid program. Students evaluate the effectiveness of health initiatives and programs in a global context and reflect on their own capacity to act.
