5. โข In recognition of the need for a more sustainable approach to development, a report was published
called: Our Common Future (also known as the Brundtland Report). The report was released in
1987 by the United Nations Commission on Environment and Development and set out the concept
of sustainable development for the first time along with its guiding principles.
โข Sustainable development can be achieved through localised initiatives. In 1992 the Rio Earth
Summit resulted in Agenda 21, Think Globally, Act Locally. Local initiatives can support access to
clean water through sanitation programs, address hunger through community food banks and
community gardens, promote local recycling initiatives and ensure that all children have access to a
quality education through tailored support for girls, vulnerable children and those with disabilities.
An overview
6. โข In 2015 the United Nations and its 193 member countries adopted the ambitious Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) โ a 15-year plan that addresses 17 global and interconnected issues,
including the reduction in poverty and hunger, putting an end to discrimination and preventing
the long-term consequences of climate change. The Goals and targets to stimulate action to
achieve a better and more sustainable future for all are set out in Transforming our world: the
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
โข A more sustainable approach is to adopt energy efficient technologies and diversify our energy
supply. Renewable energy, such as wind, solar and biomass, is an alternative energy source,
which doesnโt pose harmful effects to our health and our environment
7. Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It contains two
key concepts within it:
โขThe concept of 'needs', in particular, the essential needs of the world's poor, to which
overriding priority should be given; and
โขThe idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on
the environment's ability to meet present and future needs.
What is sustainable development
8. โข"Sustainability can be defined as the capacity to maintain or
improve the state and availability of desirable materials or
conditions over the long term.โ
โข"Sustainability is the long-term viability of a community, set
of social institutions, or societal practice. In general,
sustainability is understood as a form of intergenerational
ethics in which the environmental and economic actions taken
by present persons do not diminish the opportunities of future
persons to enjoy similar levels of wealth, utility, or welfare."
sustainability
11. Environmental Sustainability:
โข It prevents nature from being used as an inexhaustible source of resources and
ensures its protection and rational use.
โข Aspects such as environmental conservation, investment in renewable
energy, saving water, supporting sustainable mobility, and innovation
in sustainable construction and architecture, contribute to achieving
environmental sustainability on several fronts.
12. Social Sustainability:
โข It can foster gender equality, development of people, communities and
cultures to help achieve a reasonable and fairly-distributed quality of
life, healthcare and education across the Globe.
โข Some examples are health care support, education learning, opportunities,
employment, security, safety, and economic accommodation
13. Economic Sustainability:
โข Focuses on equal economic growth that generates wealth for all, without
harming the environment.
โข Investment and equal distribution of economic resources.
โข Eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions.

18. Global issues Related to Sustainable Development
โขInequitable growth of national economies (North-South Divide)
โขLoss of Biodiversity: Despite mounting efforts over the past 20 years, the loss of the worldโs
biodiversity continues.
โขClimate Change: As a global problem, climate change requires a global solution. Within climate
change, particular attention needs to be paid to the unique challenges facing developing countries.
โขTackling climate change and fostering sustainable development are two mutually reinforcing issues.
โขIntellectual Property Rights (IPRs): There is a need for welfare for all rich and poor to have
affordable access to the results of innovation that can lead to sustainable development.
19. โข Increasing inequality among and within countries requires urgent attention.
โข 3 out of every 4 stunted children live in Southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
โข Young people are more likely to be unemployed than adults.
โข Barriers in achieving gender equality.
โข Global hunger has been on the rise after a prolonged decline.
โข Extreme poverty declined from 36% in 1990 to 8.6% in 2018, but the pace of poverty
reduction is starting to decelerate as the world struggles to respond to entrenched deprivation,
violent conflicts and vulnerabilities to natural disasters.
โข Extreme poverty is three times higher in rural areas than in urban areas.
โข 2018 was the fourth warmest year on record. Levels of CO2 concentrations continued to
increase in 2018.
โข Natural environment is deteriorating at an alarming rate.
โข Sea levels are rising.

As per the Sustainable Development Goals Report
20. Conclusion: To conclude, it can be said that sustainable development brings out
stability in the requirements of the environment. It makes the resources available
for use for the future generations. Sustainable development is an amazing way to
conserve the resources provided by nature. This can be achieved by using eco-
friendly resources and technologies that will have no serious impact on the
environment. The resources that are available to us shall be used in a sustainable
manner so that they do not become extinct for the usage of future generations.
