SUSTAINABLE

DEVELOPMENT
The ability of future generations to meet their own needs is not
compromised when current demands are met through sustainable
development. The assertion is accurate and offers a goal many people
want, but it makes no recommendations or guarantees about gauging
progress toward sustainable development. Sustainability is frequently
used interchangeably with “sustainable development.” Expansion can be
thought of as development. Thus sustainable development involves
addressing the issue brought on by ongoing economic growth without
posing a threat.
WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT?
• "Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of
the present, without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs."
Sustainable Development Goals
Examples of Sustainable Innovations
SOLAR GLASS:
Solar glass refers to a specially coated glass
that prevents heat from entering a building.
This can be very beneficial for homes with
large windows as it can prevent the indoor
space from heating up to the point where it
becomes uncomfortable to sit. When
compared to regular glass (also known as
float glass)
solar glass lets in a fraction of the heat,
without compromising on the level of light
that enters the room. As a result, your home
or office can look brightly lit, without
becoming hot.
ECO FRIENDLY BIOFUEL:
Sustainable biofuel is
biofuel produced in a
sustainable manner. It is not
based on petroleum or other
fossil fuels. It includes not
using plants that are used for
food stuff to produce the fuel
thus disrupting the world's
food supply.
Examples of Sustainable Innovations
EDIBLE CUTLERY:
Stroodle’s edible cutlery is 100%
biodegradable and produced using
less energy than regular plastic
utensils, which makes them more
sustainable. By ditching
disposable plastic utensils, you can
help reduce greenhouse emissions,
water pollution, and littering in
our oceans.
GREEN BUILDINGS:
Green buildings help reduce
negative impacts on the natural
environment by using less water,
energy, and other natural
resources; employing renewable
energy sources and eco-friendly
materials; and reducing emissions
and other waste.
 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CASE STUDIES
Country: INDIA
Aim: Promote development of renewable energy Foster new local enterprises
Where local governments have encouraged the production of renewable
energy, their communities have realized economic benefits and secured their
energy supply, further attracting new industrial development that is not
reliant on nonrenewable energy sources. In Tamil Nadu, India, a State-run
programme to promote the development of renewable energy resulted in
the production of over 650 turbines for wind power generation. The
development of wind energy has given rise to new local enterprises, including
those specializing in the design and construction of wind energy equipment.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CASE STUDIES
Country: BANGLADESH
Aim: Provide energy to a remote community where there is no electricity
1. Replace kerosene lamps with more energy efficient, less fire prone, and healthier
energy sources
2.Provide sustainable trade and income for women in the community
It provides lighting and indoor air quality for rural households by replacing the
traditional kerosene lamps with modern fluorescent battery-powered lamps, which have
a reduced risk of fire and do not give off smoke and other emissions harmful to human
health. The fluorescent lamps are produced and marketed by a women in an area where
an extension of the electricity grid is not likely in the next 20 years. If a woman makes
and sells two lamps a day, she earns wages equivalent to a skilled labourer , which
benefits both her family and improves her social status. The remote community also
benefits from the lamps, which are highly efficient and have low energy consumption.
