 Durable development, as well sustainable
development, is important for long term
purpose. It is an economic and
environment friendly approach on
development. Though the concept of such
development emerged much earlier in the
world, Nepal is just realizing its
importance. Now, it is a high time to
implement this approach in all
development works of the nation.

Sustainable development

Introduction
The earth is our common home. Hour survival
and development is impossible without the
environment. But the environmental resources
are limited and have certain carrying
capacities. At the same time, due to explosive
population growth and large-scale
technological discoveries, human needs are
always growing. The earth cannot be made
bigger and richer so as to supply our growing
needs. We cannot simply ignore the needs of
the future generations either.

Sustainable Development

Introduction
ON the one hand our development activities
should be enabled to continue in long term. On
the other hand the future generation must get
at least what we have got. So we must use the
resources wisely, carefully and responsibly so
that we will live and will also let others live
after us. This is what we call sustainable
development. It includes the three major
aspects: economic development, social
development, and environmental conservation.

Pioneer of Sustainable Development

Introduction ….
The concept of sustainable development is new
thought it had been somewhat practised even by
the people of the distant past. Towards mi-20th
century, excessive utilization of the natural
resources and their destruction taking place
made the environmentalists anxious. They began
to advocate for better exploitation of the nature
however. However, the term was first used in
1980 by the World Conservation Strategy which
explained sustainable development as ‘a path
for human progress that has the capacity to
continue in the long term’.

Introduction ….
Later in 1987 the term got international
recognition through the report from the
Brundtland Commission chaired by the
Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Harlem
Brundtland. According to the report published as
‘Our Common Future’ that was adopted by the
42nd session of the Un General Assembly,
sustainable development is ‘economic and social
development that meets the needs of the
current generation without undermining the
ability of future generations to meet their won
needs.’

Methods of sustainable Development
 There is no alternative to sustainable
development. But the job of environmental
care cannot be left to one or two individuals
or countries. As our distant forbears
collaborated for obtaining food and warding
off wild animals, we need to collaborate today
both in meeting our needs and in
environmental protection. Greater level of
collaboration is needed to manage to tackle
great environmental challenges such as the
climate change.
Lesson:2.1

Lesson:2.1

 Countries at their individual levels should integrate
conservation activities with their development
activities. Private sector which controls national
economy to a large extent should also be responsible
towards environmental care. Our religious imply that
forest, land, water, etc. must be revered and
preserved as they also contain god and support life.
Respect for the environment should be developed
among all consumers. Civil societies should give
pressure to the government towards building proper
co-ordination among population, resources,
environment and development.

Methods …
 Poverty is a major obstacle. ‘Hunger fears no
gallows’. (If people are poor they don’t hesitate to
break laws and cause destruction of natural
resources). Poor communities tend to supply their
basic needs at the cost of the environment.
Sustainable development cannot be ensured as long
as poverty prevails. That’s why economic plans
should give priority to the fulfillment of the basic
needs of all people. Proper technologies should be
applied and alternative energy sources should be
used more. Finally everyone must be committed to
control the explosive population growth because too
many people are sure to take too little care of the
environment.

Lesson:2.1

Method of Sustainable Development
 Increment of public participation in development
activities
 Wise use of natural resources
 Collaboration with private sector is essential in
development and environment conservation activities.
 Focuses on alternative use of energy.
 Respect for the environment should be developed among
the people.
 Poverty and unemployment should be eliminated.
 Overpopulation should be controlled.
 New technology should be effectively implemented in the
conservation activities. PDF

importance of sustainable development in
the context of our country, Nepal.
 Write dialogue between two friend about
