Sustainable
Development
Sustainable development is an approach that aims to meet
the needs of the present generation while preserving the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It
recognizes the interdependence between economic growth,
social well-being, and environmental protection. Sustainable
development recognizes that economic, social, and
environmental considerations are interconnected and must be
balanced to achieve long-term well-being.

Listed below are some points that tell us the importance of
sustainable development
Importanceof Sustainable Development
Sustainable development aims to save resources for future generations and ensure
equitable allocation of resources, focusing on long-term infrastructure
development

Sustainable Biodiversity
Sustainable Development ensures the preservation of living animal habitats and
homes, thereby promoting biodiversity and ecosystem preservation.
Financial stability
Sustainable development promotes steady growth and strengthens economies by
utilizing renewable energy sources over fossil fuels, which are limited on our planet.
Sustainable Development
Practices
1.Wind energy
Wind energy is an easily available resource. It is also a free resource. It is a
renewable source of energy and the energy that can be generated using the
power2012-2018
of wind will be beneficial for all.

2.Solar energy
Solar energy is also such a source of energy that is easily available and has no
limit. Solar energy is being used to replace and do many things that were
earlier being done using non-renewable sources of energy.
Sustainable Development
Practices
3.Crop rotation
Crop rotation is an ideal and sustainable way to increase the growth
potential of horticultural land. It is free from any chemicals and reduces
the chances of disease in the soil.
2012-2018
4.Efficient Water Fixtures
The value of water and how we can conserve water use.

5. Sustainable Forestry
We are able to prevent the floods that can occur if we do not replace the
trees we cut down or remove.

Obstacles and Challenges
7 Main Obstacles in Sustainable Development

DEBT
High levels of national debt and financial constraints can limit a county’s ability to invest in
sustainable development activities.
LACK OF SPECIALIZED TECHNOLOGY
Insufficient access to modern technologies and technical expertise impedes the implementation of
sustainable development programs and hinders effective global collaboration on environmental issues
ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION
The ongoing depletion and deterioration of natural resources, driven by sunsustainable production
and consumption patterns, hinder the achievement of sustainable development goals.
CLIMATE- RELATED DISASTERS
Natural disasters, such as droughts and desertification, exacerbate poverty and hinder sustainable
development progress.

The challenges for companies in this area are as
follows:

Saving and preserving natural energy or

agricultural resources

Assessing their carbon footprint and reducing

total greenhouse gas emissions and further
achieve sustainable development goals.

Prevent water scarcity and reduce overall waste

for current and future generations.
