DEVELOPMENT’’ , WHICH HELP ME IN DOING A LOT OF
RESEARCH AND I CAINCE TO KNOW ABOUT SO MANY
NEW THINGS I AN REALLY THANKFUL TO THEM .
SECONDLY I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK MY
PARENTS AND FRIENDS WHO HELPED ME A LOT IN
FINALIZING THIS PROJECT WITHIN THE LIMITED TIME
FRAME.
 INTRODUCTION
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INVOLVES SATISFYING THE NEEDS OF
THE PRESENT POPULATION WITHOUT ENDARGEING
THE CAPABILITY OF THE FUTURE POPULATION TO SATISFY ITS OWN
NEEDS.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IS THE ORGANIZING PRINCIPLES FOR
MEETING HUMAN DEVELOPMENT GOALS WHILE SINULTANEREOUSLY
SUSTAINING THE ABILITY OF NATURAL SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE THE
NATURAL RESOURCES AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES ON WHICH THE
ECONOMY AND SOCIETY DEPENDS. THE DESIRED RESULT IN THE STATE
OF SOCIETY WHERE LIVING CONDITIONS AND RESOURCES ARE USED TO
CONTINUE TO MEET HUMAN NEEDS WITHOUT UNDERMINING THE
WTEGNITY ARE STABILITY OF NATURAL SYSTEM .
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ALSO FOCUS ON FINDING BETTER WAYS
 FEATURES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
SOME FEATURES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ARE :-
1} IT ENPHASISES ON GREEN ARCHITECTURE AND ECO-FRIENDLY BUILDING PRACTICES.
2}IT ATTEMPT TO MINIMIZE GREEN HOUSES GASES , REDUCE GLOBAL WARNING AND PRESERVE
ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES.
3}USE OF NATURAL BIODEGRADABLE BUILDING MATERIAL.
4}USE OF RENEWABLE RESOURCES OF WATER .
5} EMPHASES ON RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES SUCH AS SOLAR AND WIND .
6}PROTECTION OF NATURAL HABITAT .
7}PLANNED REPLACEMENT FOR ANY RESOURCES USED .
8}NON-POLLUTING CONSTRUCTION PLACHES AND INDUSTRIES .
9}THE RATE OF THE CONSUMPTION SHOULD NOT PARS THE RATE OF SALVATION .
10}TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE INPUT EFFECTIVE AND NOT INPUT UTILIXING.
 EXAMPLES
1<SOLAR ENERGY – THE GREATEST ADVANTAGES OF SOLAR
ENERGY ARE THAT IT IS COMPLETELY FREE AND IS
AVAILABLE LIMITLESS SUPPLY. BOTH OF THESE FACTORS
PROVIDE A HUGE BENEFITS TO CONSUMER AND HELP
REDUCE POLLUTION . REPLACING NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY
WITH THIS TYPE OF ENERGY IS BOTH ENVIRONMENTALLY This Photo by Unknown author is licensed under CC BY.

AND FINANCIALLY EFFECTIVE.

2<WIND ENERGY – WIND ENERGY IS ANOTHER READILY
AVAILABLE ENERGY SOURCE . HARNESSING THE POWER OF
WIND ENERGY NECESSITATES THE USE OF WINDMILLS ;
HOWEVER DUE TO CONSTRUCTION COST AND FINDING A
SUITABLE LOCATION , THIS KIND OF ENERGY IS MEANT TO
SERVE MORE THAN JUST THE INDIVIDUAL . WIND ENERGY
CAN SUPPLEMENT OR EVEN REPLACE THE COST OF GRID
POWER , AND THEREFORE MAY BE GOOD INVESTMENT AND
REMAINS A GREAT EXAMPLE OS SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT.

3}CROP ROTATION :- CROP ROTATION IS DEFINED AS "THE
SUCCESSIVE PLANTING OF DIFFERENT CROPS ON THE
SAME LAND TO IMPROVE SOIL FERTILITY AND HELP
CONTROL INSECTS ". THIS FARMING PRACTICE IS
BENEFICIAL IN SEVERAL WAYS MOST NOTABLY BECAUSE
IT IS CHEMICAL-FREE . CROP ROTATION HAS THE POWER
TO MAXIMIZE THE GROWTH POTENTIAL OF LAND. WHILE
ALSO PREVENTING DISEASE AND UNSECTS IN THE SOIL .
NOT ONLY CAN THIS FROM OF DEVELOPMENT BENEFIT
COMMERCIAL FARMERS, BUT IT CAN ALSO AID THOSE
WHO GARDEN AT HOME .

 IMPORTANCE OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IS NECESSARY FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE
ENVIRONMENT . THE PURPOSE OF DEVELOPMENT WORK IS PEOPLE'S WELFARE . THE
TARGET OF DEVELOPMENT WORK IS NEVER ACHIEVED EFFECTIVELY IF THE ADVERSE
EFFECTS ARE IGNORED . THE IMPORTANCE OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ARE
FOLLOWS -:
1}PROPER USE OF MEANS AND RESOURCES :- SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT TEACHES
PEOPLE TO MAKE LOW USE OF MEANS AND RESOURCES . THE USE OF THE MINERAL OIL,
DRINKING WATER . INSECTICIDE SHOULD BE MINIMIZED . IT HELPS TO CONSERVE AND
PROMOTE THE ENVIRONMENT .
2}DEVELOPMENT AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE -: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT BRINGS
ABOUT CHANGES IN KNOWLEDGE , ATTITUDE AND SKILL . IT CREATE THE FEELING THAT
NATURAL RESOURCES ARE THE COMMON PROPERTY OF ALL AND NOBODY CAN USE THE
PROPERTY ACCORDING TO HIS PERSONAL WILL . IT HELPS TO CONSERVE NATURAL AND
SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT.
3}DEVELOPMENT OF FUNDAMENTAL PARTS -: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT EMPHASISES
ON THE PROGRESS OF HEALTH , EDUCATION , AGRICULTURE , TOURISM AND SOCIAL
REFORMS FOE THE DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN BEINGS. ENVIROMENT CONSERVATION
AND PROMOTION SHOULD BE CONDUCTED AHEAD IN AN INTERGRATED WAY .
4} LIMITATION OF DEVELOPMENT -: LIMITED BUT EFFECTIVE USE OF MEANS AND
RESOURCES ARE ENOUGH FOR THE PEOPLE TO SATISFY THEIR BASIC NEEDS.LIMITED AND
NON RENEWABL MEANS AND RESOURCES GO ON DECREASING IN GLOBALLY DUE TO
ONES-USE . SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AWARE THE PEOPLE OF THE INVOLVEMENT IN
THE POLICY MAKING FOR THE CONCEPT OF LIMIT OF DEVELOPMENT .
5}LONG LASTING DEVELOPMENT -: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AIMS ACHIEWING THE
GOALS OF ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT DESTROYING THR EARTH
MEANS AND RESOURCES . IT ATTEMPT TO CREATE THE CONCEPT OF MAINTAINING THE
PRESENT WORK FOR THE FUTURE AND COMSERVING THE NATURAL RESOURCE FOR
FUTURE GENERATION .
6} DEVELOPMENT BASED ON PEOPLE'S
PARTICIPATION -: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
CREATES THE INTEREST OF LOCAL PEOPLE IN
DEVLOPMENT WORK AND ENVIRONMENT
CONSERVATION WITH THE FEELING OF
OWNERSHIP . IT INCREASES THE PUBLIC
INVOLVEMENT AT ALL LEVELS OF
ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION AND PROMOTION .
DEVELOPMENT
THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (S DG'S) , ALSO KNOWN
AS GLOBAL GOALS, WERE ADOPTED BY ALL UNITED NATION
STATES IN 2015 AS A UNIVERSAL TO ACTION TO END POVERTY,
PROTECT THE PLANET AND ENSURE THAT AU PEOPLE ENJOY
PEACE AND PROSPERITY BY 2030.
THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS ARE THE BLUEPRINTS
TO ACHIEVE A BETTER AND MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR
ALL . THE 17 GOALS ARE ALL INTERCONNECTED , AND IN ORDER
TO LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND , IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE ACHIEVE
THEM ALL .
1} NO POVERTY :- ECONOMIC GROWTH MUST BE INCLUSIVE TO PROVIDE SUSTAINABLE
JOBS AND PROMOTE EQUALITY .
2} ZERO HUNGER :- THE FOOD AND AGRICULTURE SECTOR OFFERS THEY SOLUTIONS FOR
DEVELOPMENT AND IS CENTRAL FOR HUNGER AND POVERTY ERADICATION .
3} GOOD HEALTH AND WELLBEING :- ENSURING HEALTH LIVES AND PROMOTING WELL
BEINGS FOR ALL AT ALL AGES IS ESENTIAL TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT .
4} QUALITY EDUCATION :- OBTAINING A QUALITY EDUCATION IS THE FOUNDATION TO
IMPROVING PEOPLES LIVES .
5} GENDER EQUALITY :- ENPOWERS WOMEN AND GIRLS AND ENSURE THEIR EQUAL
RIGHTS .
6} CLEAN WATER AND SANITIZATION :- CLEAN, ASSENIBLE WATER FOR ALL IN AN
ENENATIAL PART OF THE WORLD .
7} AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY :- USE ONLY ENERGY EFFICIENT APPLIANCES AND
LIGHIT BULBS .
DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH :- GREST JOB OPPORTUNITIS FOR YOUTH.
INDUSTRY , INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUTURE :- FUND PROJECTS THAT PROVIDES
BASIC INFRASTRUTURE .
REDUCE IN EQUALITIES :- POLICES SHOULD BE UNIVERSAL IN PRINCIPAL, PAYING ATTENTION TO
NEEDS OF DISADVANTAGES MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS.
SUSTAINABLECITIES AND CONNUNITIES :- BIKE WORK OR USE PUBLICI TRANSPORT .
RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION :- RECYCLE PAPER , PLASTICS , GLASS , AND
ALUMINIUM.
CLIMATE ACTION :- CLIMATE CHANGE IS A GLOBAL CHALLENGE THAT EFFECTS EVERYONE ,
EVERYWHERE .
LIFE BELOW WATER :- AVOID PLASTIC BAGS TO KEEP THE OCEANS CLEAN .
LIFE ON LAND :- PLANT A TREE AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT .
PEACE , JUSTICE AND STRONG INSTITUTIONS :- ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR ALL AND BUILDING
EFFECTIVE , ACCOUNTABLE INSTITUTION AT ALL LEVELS .
PARTNERSHIPS :- LOBBY YOUR GOVERNMENT TO BOOST DEVELOPMENT FINANCING .
 HOW CAN WE MAKE IT HAPPEN ?
TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT THE NORM , WE HAVE TO CHANGE
THE UNION OF THE CULTURES OF EACH COUNTRY . TO CHANGE
THE UNION OF THE CULTURE TWO THINGS HAVE TO OCCUR .
1} THE CULTURE MUST VALUE GLOBAL BENEFIT MORE THAN A
LOCAL ONE .
2} A RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS PROVIDING AND SUSTAINING
RESOURCE FOR THE FUTURE MUST BE OF MORE VALUE THAN
PROFIT IN THE PRESENT MUST BE DEVELOPED .
 WHAT PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING ?
THERE ARE TWO MAJOR ISSUES THAT PREVENT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FROM
HAPPENING .
THE FIRST IS THAT FOR MANY ASPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT , USING SUSTAINABLE METHODS
AND MATERIAL IN EXPENSIVE . WHILE THE LONG TERM COST OF SUSTAINABILITY DOES
PROVE TO BE LESS EXPENSIVE THAN TRADITIONAL DEVELOPMENT , THE CREATION OF
SUSTAINABLE PROJECT MAY BE FAR MORE EXPENSIVE IN THE FIRST PHASE .
THE SECOND MAJOR ISSUE IS THAT THERE IS NOT A GENERALLY ACCEPTED NEED FOR
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT . THIS AN EDUCATION ISSUE THAT MAY TAKE MANY YEARS
TO RESOLVE . CONTRACTORS AND INVESTORS CANNOT SEE THE RUPORTANCE OF
SUSTAINABLE PROJECTS WHEN THEY COST MORE TO INITIATE . WHEN THE GOAL IS TO
MAKE MONEY IN THE SHORT TERM , IT CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT TO GENERATE A LONG
TERM UNION THAT IS REQUIRED TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF SUSTAINABILITY .
 THREE PILLARS
THE THREE PILLARS OF SUSTAINABILITY ARE A
POWERFUL TOOL FOR DEFINING THE SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT PROBLEM . THIS CONSISTS OF THREE
PARAMETERS : ECONOMIC , SOCIAL AND
ENVIRONMENTAL PILLARS . IF ANYONE PILLAR IS
WEAK THEN THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE IS
UNSUSTAINABLE.
 ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY REQUIRES THAT A BUSINESS
OR COUNTRY USES IT RESOURCES EFFICIENTLY AND
RESPONSIBILITY SO THAT IT CAN OPERATE IN A
SUSTAINABLE MANNER TO CONSISTENTLY PRODUCE AN
OPERATIONAL PROFIT WITHOUT AN OPERATIONAL PROFIT
A BUSINESS CANNOT SUSTAIN ITS ACTIVITIES. WITHOUT
ACTING RESPONSIBILITY AND USING IT RESOURCES
EFFICIENTLY A COMPANY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN
ITS ACTIVITIES IN THE LONG TERM .
 SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY
SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY IS THE ABILITY OF
SOCIETY , OR ANY SOCIAL SYSTEM , TO ACHIEVE
A GOOD SOCIAL WELLBEING . ACHIEVING
SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY ENSURES THAT THE
SOCIAL WELLBEING OF A COUNTRY , AN
ORGANIZATION OR A COMMUNITY CAN BE
MAINTAINED IN THE LONG TERM .
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY MEANS THAT
WE ARE LIVING WITHIN THE MEANS OUR
NATURAL RESOURCES . TO LIVE IN TRUE
SUSTAINABILITY , WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT
WE ARE CONSUMING OUR NATURAL RESOURCES
AT SUSTAINABLE RATE . SOME RESOURCES ARE
MORE ABUNDANT THAN OTHERS AND
ENVIRONMENTAL
THEREFORE WE NEED TO CONSIDER MATERIAL
SCARCITY . WE NEED TO ASPIRE TO NET XERO
SUSTAINABILITY
CARBON AND THEN MOVE BEYOND TO
ULTIMATELY ACHIEVE CLIMATE POSITIVE
PRINCIPALS . ENVIRONMENTAL
SUSTAINABILITY SHOULD NOT BE CONSUMED
WITH FULL SUSTAINABILITY , WHICH ALSO
NEED TO BALANCE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL
FACTORS .
 TAKING THESE PILLARS SUSTAINABILITY
FURTHER , IF WE ONLY ACHIEVE TWO OUT OF
THREE PILLARS THAN WE END UP WITH :-
SOCIAL + ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY =
EQUITABLE
SOCIAL + ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY =
BEARABLE
ECONOMIC = ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
= VIABLE

 SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPALS
1} SUPPORT RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT THAT PROMOTES EFFICIENCY AND ENHANCE THE
QUALITY OF LIFE .
2} PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT IN BOTH AND PRACTIVE AND REMEDIAL MANNER , WITH
EMPHASIS ON ANTIUPATION & PREVENTION .
3} PROMOTE RESPONSIBLE RESOURCES USE AND CONVERSATION PRACTICES .
4} HAVE REGARD FOR ENVIRONMENTAL , ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COST AND BENEFITS IN
THE DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF RESOURCES , PRODUCTS AND SERVICES .
5} PROMOTE RESPONSIBLE STEWARDOHIP TO ENSURE EQUITABLE USE OF NATURAL AND
ENVIROMENT RESOURCES IN ORDER TO MEET ESSENTIAL NEEDS OF BOTH PRESENT &
FUTURE GENERATION .
6} MAKE DECISION THAT RECOGNIZE THE INTERDEPENDENCE OF HUMANS AND NATURAL IN
A COMMAN ECOSYSTEM .
 CONCLUSION
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT HAS ATTRACTED MUCH ATTENTION IN THE ACADEMIC
GOVERNANCE PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT INTERVENTION SPACE . THE CHALLENGES
CONFRONTING HUMANKIND TODAY SUCH AS CLIMATE CHANGE , WATER SCARCITY ,
HUNGER AND POVERTY CAN BE ADDRESSED BY ADNEWING TO THE TENTES AND
PRINCIPAL OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT . THE ULTIMATE AIM OF SD IS TO ACHIEVE A
BALANCE AMONG ENVIRONMENTAL , ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY , THUS
MAKING THESE THE PILLARS ON WHICH SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT RESTS . THE
SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SDGS RELY UPON DISENTANGLING COMPLEN
INTERREACTION OF THE AMONG THE GOALS AND THEIR TARGETS . A KEY ROLE HAS TO
BE PLAYED BY INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION AND AGENCIES SUCH AS THE UN ,
GOVERNMENT OF VARIOUS COUNTRIES AND CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANISATIONS . WE MUST
FOLLOW THE TERM "LIVE AND LET LIVE " . OUR DEVELOPMENT SHOULDN'T BECOME THE
REASON FOR THE ENTENTION FOR ANY ORGANISM CAUSE EACH AND EVERY ORGANISM
PLAY ITS OWN ROLE IN THE NATURE .
