3. Introduction
The term “Sustainable Development” first came
to prominence in the World Conservation
Strategy (WCS) in 1980.
It achieved a new status with the publication of
two significant reports by Brundtland on: North
and South: a programme for survival and
common crisis (1985) and
Our Common Future (1983) and has gained even
greater attention since the United Nations
Conference on Environment and Development
(UNCED) held in Rio de Jenerio in June 1992.

4. Definition
• Sustainable development can be defined as an
approach to the economic development of a
country without compromising with the quality of
the environment for future generations.
• In the name of economic development, the price
of environmental damage is paid in the form of
land degradation, soil erosion, air and water
pollution, deforestation, etc.
• This damage may surpass the advantages of
having more quality output of goods and
services.

5. How Sustainability Works
 Sustainability encourages businesses to frame
decisions in terms of environmental, social, and
human impact for the long-term, rather than on short-
term gains such as next quarter's earnings report. It
influences them to consider more factors than simply
the immediate profit or loss involved. Increasingly,
companies have issued sustainability goals such as
commitment to zero-waste packaging by a certain
year, or to reduce overall emissions by a certain
percentage.
 These companies can achieve their sustainability
needs by cutting emissions, lowering their energy
usage, sourcing products from fair-trade
organizations, and ensuring their physical waste is
disposed of properly and with as small a carbon
footprint as possible.

6. Objectives Of Sustainable
Development
 Economic growth
 Environmental protection
 Social inclusion

7. Pillars Of Sustainable
Development

8. • The Sustainable Development Goals or Global Goals are a
collection of seventeen interlinked objectives designed to serve as
a "shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the
planet, now and into the future.”
• The SDGs are no poverty ; zero hunger ; good health and well-
being ; quality education ; gender equality ; clean water and
sanitation ; affordable and clean energy ; decent work and
economic growth ; industry, innovation and infrastructure ; reduced
inequalities ; sustainable cities and communities ; responsible
consumption and production; climate action ; life below water ; life
on land ; peace, justice, and strong institutions ; and partnerships
for the goals. The SDGs emphasize the interconnected
environmental, social and economic aspects of sustainable
development by putting sustainability at their center.

10. • Zero hunger: The aim is to create a world free of hunger and prevent diseases
and deaths caused by malnutrition.
• Good health and well-being: This objective in sustainable living promotes efficient
healthcare, a healthy lifestyle, and preventive measures for everyone.
• Quality education: To ensure that students have access to free primary and
secondary education and affordable higher and technical education.
• Gender Equality: The aim is to give equal political, economic, and social equality
for women thereby creating more opportunities.
• Clean water and sanitization: To provide clean water to populations across the
globe so that they can have better sanitary conditions.

11. • Affordable and clean energy: It helps in energy efficiency and increases in the
use of renewables for climate change mitigation and disaster risk reduction.
• Decent Work and Economic Growth: According to the national circumstances
sustain per capita economic growth. Least Developed Countries should have at
least 7% gross domestic product growth per annum.
• Industry, innovation and infrastructure: Developing reliable, sustainable, and
resilient infrastructure to support economic development and social well-being.
• Reduce inequality: The aim is to reduce inequalities so that everyone gets an
equal chance and collectively achieves sustainable development goals.
• Sustainable Cities and Communities: Ensuring everyone has access to affordable
housing conditions and transportation. The aim is to allow sustainable human
settlement planning across the world.

12. • Climate change: The aim is to combat climate change and its
impacts on saving lives. The aim is to reduce global greenhouse gas
emissions by 43% by 2030 and net zero by 2050.
• Life Below Water: The aim is to create an understanding of the
oceans and the resources that it offers. It also focuses on learning
methodologies to keep our seas clean.
• Life on land: The aim is to protect, restore and promote the
sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, combat desertification and
reverse land degradation. It is important to take care of the
ecosystem since these provide raw materials and ecosystem
services.
• Eliminating Poverty: This goal aims at eradicating extreme poverty
from across the world and reducing it by at least half the proportion
of men, women, and children.

14. • We are prepared for problems: Sustainable development helps us be
ready for challenges like natural disasters, financial troubles, or health
crises.
• The future is considered: Sustainable development is about making
sure our kids and grandkids can have a good life too.
• Life gets better for everyone: It aims to improve everyone’s life
with a clean environment, good jobs, and a fair society.

16. WHAT PREVENTS SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT FROM
HAPPENING ?
 The first is that for many aspects of
development, using sustainable methods and
materials is expensive. While the long-term cost
of sustainability does prove to be less expensive
than traditional development, the creation of a
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 is a educational issue that
may take years to resolve .

17. Conclusion
 Sustainable development is largely about people, their well-
being, and equity in their relationships with each other, in a
context where nature-society imbalances can threaten
economic and social stability.
 Because climate change, its drivers, its impacts and its policy
responses will interact with economic production and
services, human settlements and human societies, climate
change is likely to be a significant factor in the sustainable
development of many areas (e.g., Downing, 2002).
 Simply stated, climate change has the potential to affect
many aspects of human development, positively or
negatively, depending on the geographic location, the
economic sector, and the level of economic and social
development already attained (e.g., regarding particular
vulnerabilities of the poor, see Dow and Wilbanks, 2003
