Introduction
Economic Development is not the
only factor which will decide the
quality of life.
We considered “improvement in
our economy” only as
development – That is wrong!
2
Effects of Economical development?
➢Over exploitation of natural resources.
➢Loss of biodiversity.
➢Loss of livelihoods.
➢Exposure to natural hazards like flooding or erosion.
➢Big development projects benefit wealthy people but don't
help poorer communities.
3
“
What kind of development is
required?
“Development that meets the
needs of the present without
compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their
own needs i.e. Sustainable
Development.”
-Brundtland G.H, former Norwegian PM and
Director of WHO
4
Sustainable
Development?
5
Sustainable development is a pattern of economic
development in which resource use aims to meet
human needs while preserving the environment so
that these needs can be met not only in the
present, but also for generations to come.
6
Sustainable Development - Examples
7
Wind Energy
Wind is one of the fastest growing sources of clean energy in the globe today. The energy
comes from the wind that is driven by temperature and pressure differences in the
atmosphere. The wind rotates a windmill’s rotors that run a generator to produce
electricity.
Solar Energy
Solar energy would help steady energy prices and give numerous social, environmental
and economic benefits. This has been indicated by solar energy's contribution to
achieving sustainable development through meeting energy demands, creating jobs
and protecting the environment.
Crop Rotation
Crop rotation helps return nutrients to the soil without synthetic inputs. The
practice also works to interrupt pest and disease cycles, improve soil health by increasing
biomass from different crops' root structures, and increase biodiversity on the farm.
In thedifferentconceptsof
sustainabledevelopment,
the consensusis
undoubtedlyagreedon its
components: economic,
social,environmental.
Scheme of sustainable development
It hasthreeconstituent
parts:environmental
sustainability, economic
sustainability, socio
politicalsustainability.

Thecarryingcapacityof
an ecosystemis the size
of the populationor
communitythatcanbe
supportedin perpetuity
uponthe available
resourcesandservices
of thatecosystem.
Economic sustainability refers to
practices that support long-term
economic growth without
negatively impacting social,
environmental, and cultural
aspects of the community.
Economic Sustainability
Socialsustainabilityis a processfor creating

is environmentally
sustainable and socially
appropriate.

Reduce Reuse Recycle
Reduction is conservation Do not throw away things which can be
used
Turning something old into something
very new
Buy 100% recyclable and durable
products
Reuse the plastic cups, plates, utensils,
use rechargeable batteries and refillable
ink cartridges
Not only a great way to conserve
resources but also to reduce wastes
Avoid disposable items Donate things to charity If anything is not in use it can be
recycled into something else
Save water and energy Using of cloth bags and canvas for
shopping
Depositing things at recycling centre
Support carpooling; drive smaller, more
energy-efficient car and use lead-free
petrol
Reuse old envelops, toilet rolls,
magazines, ice cream tubs for art and
craft
Set up a system for separating your
waste for recycling
Unplug appliances when not in use Cut down on plastic bags Make sure you put the waste into correct
bins
Reasons behind adopting sustainable development
Sustainable development indicators
A sustainable indicator
is “a metric that
measures an
organization's ability
to deliver long-term
stakeholder value”.
21
Sustainability Revolution
The devotion to issues
such as the climate
change, water scarcity,
ocean pollution (plastic)
diversity gaps, health
and safety, income
equality, inclusion, and
human rights is the
bedrock of the
sustainable revolution.
Thanks!
