What is Sustainable Development

 Sustainability is a societal goal that broadly relates to the ability of people to

safely co-exist on Earth over a long time. Specific definitions of sustainability
are difficult to agree on and have varied with literature, context, and time.
Sustainability is commonly described as having three dimensions:
environmental, economic, and social. Many publications state that the
environmental dimension is the most important, and, in everyday use,
"sustainability" is often focused on countering major environmental problems,
such as climate change, loss of biodiversity, loss of ecosystem services, land
degradation, and air and water pollution.
Types of Sustainable Development

 Wind energy = Wind power or wind energy describes the process by which the
wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity.
 Solar energy = Solar energy is any type of energy generated by the sun. Solar
energy can be harnessed directly or indirectly for human use.
 Sustainable construction = Sustainable construction means building with
renewable and recyclable resources and materials
Uses of Sustainable Development in
Daily Lives
 Turn off the lights = When you leave the room. During the day, use natural light!
 Use reusable containers for snacks, water, and other drinks = Bring your own
lunch instead of driving off campus, or eat in the campus
dining facilities.
 Turn off your air conditioning = Or at least turn it down.
 Plant a garden = Or a window box. Just grow something and then eat it.
Importance of Sustainable Development at International Level

 Sustainable development practices help countries grow in ways that adapt to

the challenges posed by climate change, which will in turn help to protect
important natural resources for ours and future generations. By the year 2050, it
is estimated that our global population will likely reach 9 billion people.
