The paper summarizes four presentations of the session “Environment and Wellbeing: The Role of Ecosystems for Sustainable Development” at the international conference “Sustainability in the Water- Energy-Food Nexus” held on 19-20th May 2014 in Bonn, Germany. The aim of the session was to present current stresses on ecosystem services imposed by global development trajectory, potential impacts on future Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and pathways to achieve SDGs. All four presentations agreed that global ecosystem services are under increasing pressure from degradation and may not be able to meet the growing Water-Energy-Food (WEF) demands especially for the developing world. Three examples from Tanzania, Cambodia and Niger made attempt to understand how government policies attributed to natural resource depletion such as forestry and common grazing. The examples showed that institutional policies favoring economic development contributing heavily to clearing up natural resource bases. As a result, there were increasing conflicts among different resource user groups. Two other presentations introduce conceptual pathways to achieve the targets of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under current resource stressed regime. The pathways suggested global technologies, decentralized solutions and consumption changes as the major means of achieving global sustainability and poverty eradication without any major trade-offs.

The article is dedicated to the idea of including Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in any discipline in higher education for the development of sustainability competences. The article analyses possible interactive exercises and games for all 17 SDGs. It also includes the analysis of sustainability competences provided by each game or exercise, as well as disciplines in which it can be used. This author recommends using interactive exercises and games for SDGs in higher education as effective and powerful instruments for promoting sustainability issues and developing students’ competencies.

The human right to social security entered into international law in the middle of the last century. In 2012 the International Labour Conference took the latest step towards the concretisation of this right when it adopted its recommendation No. 202 (R202) concerning national floors of social protection. Shortly thereafter, in 2015, the global community of nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which contain a comprehensive social protection agenda. Together, these two instruments set clear global objectives of social protection accessible to all people. It is argued here that the ILO or the UN have to take the next step and transform “soft” instruments of recommendation and goals into “hard” ones and develop a new convention on universal access to at least floor of social protection to a create true safeguard for the right to social security and make it more difficult to reverse achieved social progress.
