Sustainable development meansdevelopment
should take place without damaging the
environment,and development in the present
should not compromise with the needs of the
future generations.
Sustainabilityof development iscomparatively
a new areaof knowledge in which scientists,

Introduction
6. History
In 1980,the International Union for the
Conservation strategy,that included one of the first
referencesto sustainable development as a global
priority and introdced the term. “Sustainable
development”.
In 1987,the United Nations World Commission and
development released the report our common
future,commonly called the Brundtnal Report.
The report Included what is now one of the most
widely recognised definitionsof sustainable
development.
In response to a growing awareness of the
depletion of timber Resources in England,John
Evelyn argued that " sowing and plantingtrees had
to be regarded as a national duty of every
landowner,in order to stop the destructiveover-
exploitation of natural resources“.
Sustainable development has its root in idea about
sustainable forest mangement whichwere
developed in Europe duringthe 17th and 18th
centuries.

7. + The needs and importance of sustainable
development are to balance our economic
environmental and social needs, allowing well-
being for now and upcoming generations.
+ Sustainable development encourages us to
conserve and enhance our resource base by
gradually changing the methods in which we
develop and use technologies.
+ Sustainable development increased the use of
natural resources and decrease that of the non
renewable ones. It makes careful management of
the renewable natural resources.
+ Sustainable development brings harmony
between human beings and nature.Needs of
people are better fulfilled and it makes human
consumers realize the value of nature.
+ Sustainable development ensures the meaningful
Investment of capital and other means because
development is smooth and durable and the
environment is protected.

8. Examples
Solar Energy : The greatest advantage of
solar energy are that it's completely free
and is available in limitless supply. Both of
these factors provide a huge benefit to
consumers and help to reduce pollution.
Wind Energy : Wind energy is another
readily available source. Hornessing the
power of wind energy necessitates the use
of windmill; however due to construction
cost and finding a suitable location, this
kind of energy is meant to service more
than just the individual.

Crop Rotation : Crop rotation is defined as
the successive planting of different crop on
the same land to improve soil fertility and
help control insects and diseases. Crop
rotation has been proven to maximize the
potential of land, while also preventing
disease and insects In soil.
9. Pillars
Economic Sustainability.It is the ability of an economy to
support defined level of economic production indifinetly
since the Great Recession of 2008 this is the world's
biggest apparent problem which endagers progress due
to environmental sustainability problem.
Pillars comprises 3 elements: Environment,society and
Economy.All three are balanced so that one doesn't
destroy another.
Social Sustainability: Social sustainabilityof a social
system, such as a country,family or organization,to
function at a defined level of social well-being and
harmony indefinitely.Problemslike war, endemic,poverty,
widespread injustice,and low education rated are
symptoms of a system that is Socially unsustainable.
Environmental Sustainability:It is the ability of the
environment to support a defined level of environmental
quality and natural resourceextraction rates indefinitely.
This is the world's biggest actual problem, though since
the consequencesof not solving the problem now are
delayed, the problem receives too low a priority to be
solved.

14. Conclusion
Mechanism for implementationof sustainable
development initiativeneed to be seriously examined
includingcapacitybuilding,leadership training,
coordination of efforts,information transmitting,support
and commitment from authorities.
To transform the lifestyle of the people is somethingnot
easily done. It has to begin with awareness and
continuous campaign from the government and active
participationfrom stakeholders.
Sustainable development and issues related to global
environmental concernshas not been well addressed in
action.Although some planninginitiativeshave been
taken at national regional and local levels but when it
comes to implementation,not much progress has been
made.
There seems to be lack of commitment and awareness
among local agencies and Communitiesregardingto
implementation of sustainable development initiatives.
