Lesson Three | SDG #9: Industry, Innovation, & Infrastructure
In this lesson, students explore United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #9: Industries, Innovation, and Infrastructure. Students will examine readings, videos, and other online resources to learn about the use of new technologies and infrastructure projects to support sustainability.
As part of these activities, students will analyze different green technologies, discuss the innovative strategies used by some communities to create sustainability and evaluate local, national, and global policies that support scientific research and innovation. In addition, students will work as a group to develop a detailed plan for the design and implementation of innovative and sustainable community development projects. This activity will allow students to apply what they have learned about SDG #9, be innovative, and use problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
