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. • 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. • In 2015the United Nations and its 193 member countries adopted the ambitious Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – 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. • 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 doesn’t pose harmful effects to our health and our environment
- 7. Sustainable development isdevelopment 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: •The concept of 'needs', in particular, the essential needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and •The 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. •"Sustainability can bedefined as the capacity to maintain or improve the state and availability of desirable materials or conditions over the long term.“ •"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

- 10. Types of sustainabledevelopment
- 11. Environmental Sustainability: • Itprevents nature from being used as an inexhaustible source of resources and ensures its protection and rational use. • 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: • Itcan 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. • Some examples are health care support, education learning, opportunities, employment, security, safety, and economic accommodation
- 13. Economic Sustainability: • Focuseson equal economic growth that generates wealth for all, without harming the environment. • Investment and equal distribution of economic resources. • Eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions.

- 18. Global issues Relatedto Sustainable Development •Inequitable growth of national economies (North-South Divide) •Loss of Biodiversity: Despite mounting efforts over the past 20 years, the loss of the world’s biodiversity continues. •Climate 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. •Tackling climate change and fostering sustainable development are two mutually reinforcing issues. •Intellectual 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. • Increasing inequalityamong and within countries requires urgent attention. • 3 out of every 4 stunted children live in Southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. • Young people are more likely to be unemployed than adults. • Barriers in achieving gender equality. • Global hunger has been on the rise after a prolonged decline. • 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. • Extreme poverty is three times higher in rural areas than in urban areas. • 2018 was the fourth warmest year on record. Levels of CO2 concentrations continued to increase in 2018. • Natural environment is deteriorating at an alarming rate. • Sea levels are rising. Challenges 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.
