The document discusses sustainable development goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations in 2015 to be achieved by 2030. It covers 17 goals related to social, economic, and environmental issues. Individuals, businesses, and governments must work together to successfully accomplish these goals. For each goal, the document discusses the potential role of each actor. It also provides context on tracking and monitoring progress toward the goals using tools like the online SDG Tracker publication. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 had major implications for achieving all 17 SDGs.

1. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

2. Abstract
• In 2015, the United Nations (UN) declared 17 sustainable
development goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030. The
SDGs cover social and economic development issues
including such as poverty, hunger, health, education,
gender equality, water, sanitation, energy, and justice while
protecting the environment.
A collaborative action plan requires individuals, business,
and governments to work in harmony to successful
accomplishment of these SDGs. This research aims to offer
a practical road map for achieving the sustainable
development goals (SDGs). For each SDG, we discuss the
potential role of each actor in achieving these goals.

3. Introduction
• Course Objectives Provide a conceptual framework of
the sustainable development theories and practices.
Focus on the environmental policies of the European
Union and the world, including, but not limited to: –
different approaches to the regulation of water
pollution, water supply and quality, problems of road
transport, vehicle emissions standards, etc. – policies
to promote energy efficiency, – economics of waste
management and recycling, – economic aspects of
environmental audit, – environmental aspects of the
Common Agricultural Policy, – Protection of the
environment of the Mediterranean region

4. Aim And Objectives

5. Concept of Environment
• Environment may be defined as all those
conditions and their effects which influence
human life. It is the sum total of surrounding and
the totality of the resources.
• According to the Environment Act 1986,
“Environment includes, water, air and land and
the inter relationship which exists among and
between water air land and human beings and
other creatures, plants, micro-organisms and
property”.

6. Functions of Environment
Significance of Environment
• It assimilates waste.
• It sustains life by providing genetic and bio
diversity.
• It also provides aesthetic services like scenery
etc.
• Environment offers resources for production.
• Environment sustains life.
• Environment Enhance quality of life.

7. Two Basic Problems Related to
Environment
• Problem of pollution.
• Problem of excessive exploitation of natural resources.
• Pollution It refers to those activities of production and
consumption which challenge purity of air and water and
serenity of the environment.
Pollution unfolds itself in three ways
• Air Pollution Pollution of air impliespollution of an essential
elements of life.
• Water Pollution Water is an equally important element of
life and its pollution is equally serious. Polluted water is the
principal cause of diseases like diarrhoea and hepatities.
• Noise Pollution Excessive noise causes irritation and
unnecessarily fatigues the body and the mind.

8. Causes of Environmental Degradation
•
• Population explosion
• Widespread poverty
• Increasing urbanisation
• Increasing use of insecticides, pesticides and
chemical fertilisers
• Rapid industrialisation
• Multiplicity of transport vehicles
• Disregard to the civic norms

9. Sustainable Development Goals
• A range of technologies exists to track and illustrate progress toward the goals to aid monitoring,
with the purpose of making data more accessible and understandable. For example, the online
publication SDG Tracker, which was published in June 2018, shows accessible data across all
indicators, and then the SDGs addressed many cross-cutting concerns such as gender equity,
education, and culture, which cut across all of the SDGs. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic had
major consequences and implications for all 17 SDGs in 2020.
• Global concerns are addressed by sustainability goals, such as the current UN Sustainable
Development Goals. Poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and
justice are among the global concerns. The Brundtland Report of 1987 is largely responsible for the
present notion of sustainable development. However, as the notion of sustainable development has
evolved, it has shifted its focus to include economic, social, and environmental development for
future generations.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a series of 17 interconnected global goals
established by the United Nations General Assembly (UN-GA) in 2015 and targeted to be realised by
2030. These 17 interconnected global goals, known as the Sustainable Development Goals, are
contained in an UN-GA Resolution known as the 2030 Agenda, or Agenda 2030.
