Part 1: GROUP PROJECT

Project Theme

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations members in 2015, created 17 world Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They were created with the aim of "peace and prosperity for people and the planet", while tackling climate change and working to preserve oceans and forests. The SDGs highlight the connections between the environmental, social and economic aspects of sustainable development. More information about SDGs can be found herehttps://sdgs.un.org/goals.

SDG 13: Sustainable Development Goal 13 (SDG 13 or Goal 13) is about climate action and is one of 17 SDGs established by the United Nations in 2015. The official mission statement of this goal is to "Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts".

There are five main targets of this SDG 13 in total, all of which cover a wide range of issues surrounding climate action.

For more information on SDG 13, go to the following link:

https://sdgs.un.org/goals/goal13#targets_and_indicators

• Target 13.1: Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries.

• Target  13.2: Integrate  climate  change measures  into national policies, strategies and planning.

• Target 13.3: Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning.

• Target 13.a: Implement the commitment undertaken by developed-country parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to a goal of mobilizing jointly $100 billion annually by 2020 from all sources to address the needs of developing countries in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation and fully operationalize the Green Climate Fund through its capitalization as soon as possible.

• Target 13.b: Promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management  in  least  developed countries and small island developing States, including focusing on women, youth and local and marginalized communities.

Project Details

Project Title must be related to SDG 13, which is about Climate Action.

Project  Description: Various  entities  including  governments,  startups,  and  organizations worldwide are actively engaged in developing applications related to achieving the Sustainable Development Goal 13 (SDG 13). To explore examples and draw inspiration, you can visit the provided link. It showcases different applications aligned with various targets of SDG 13.

In  this  group  project,  the  group  members  will  work  on  creating  a computer program or application to support one of the targets outlined  in Sustainable  Development  Goal  13  (as mentioned above). You have the freedom to choose whether to develop a console application or a more user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI).

To ensure the success of your project, you are required to fulfil the following objectives.

 Develop at least FIVE (5) key features that contribute to achieving your chosen SDG 13 target.

 Design the program to cater to two types of users: Government (Admin) and Public (Normal User).

 Empower Government users with capabilities such as editing, deleting, and updating information, while restricting Public users to viewing and sharing information only.

 Use at least THREE (3) classes, each containing three data fields and methods, to create a scalable and maintainable program.

 Enable easy information retrieval through keyboard-based search functionality.

 Implement at least ONE (1) switch statement and TWO (2) conditional statements in your code.

 Incorporate at least ONE (1) for loop and ONE (1) do-while loop statement for iterative processes.

 Include an Array or ArrayList as necessary to fulfil program requirements.

 Utilize at least ONE (1) access modifier to differentiate between Public and Admin users for security and access control.

This group project offers ample room for creativity, so don't hesitate to think innovatively and ambitiously. The sky's not the limit, so get creative and think big! Good luck!
