1) Sustainable development is defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
2) Education for sustainable development aims to integrate principles of environmental protection, economic growth, and social equality while addressing issues like population growth, resource use, urbanization, and environmental degradation.
3) Key organizations that have promoted sustainable development include the UN, UNESCO, and WCED, with conferences and agreements focusing on issues like climate change, pollution, and intergenerational equity.
Presentation on Environmental Degradation
Its causes and effects on the environment
Awareness of environmental Degradation
Preventive Measures for environmental degradation
Until two decades ago the world looked at economic status alone as a measure of human development.
Thus countries that were economically well developed and where people were relatively richer were called advanced nations while the rest where poverty was widespread and was economically backwards were called developing countries.
Most countries of North America and Europe which had become industrialized at an earlier stage have become economically more advanced.
They not only exploited their own natural resources rapidly but also used the natural resources of developing countries to grow even larger economies.
Thus the way development progressed, the rich countries got richer while the poor nations got poorer.
poorer.
However, even the developed world has begun to realize that their lives were being seriously affected by the environmental consequences of development based on economic growth alone.
This form of development did not add to the quality of life as the environmental conditions had begun to deteriorate.
By the 1970s most development specialists began to appreciate the fact that economic growth alone could not bring about a better way of life for people unless environmental conditions were improved.
Development strategies in which only economic considerations were used, had begun to suffer from serious environmental problems due to air and water pollution, waste management, deforestation and a variety of other ill effects that seriously affected peoples’ well being and health.
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE T...vijay kumar sarabu
There is direct relationship between environment and economic development. Economic development without environmental considerations can cause serious environmental damage in turn impairing the quality of life of present and future generations. In the process of economic development, the environmental problems have been ignored or less concentrated. Any country’s environmental problems are related to the level of its economic development, the availability of natural resources and the lifestyle of its population. In India, rapid growth of population, poverty, urbanization, industrialization and several related factors are responsible for the rapid degradation of the environment. Environmental problems have become serious in many parts of the country, and hence cannot be ignored. The main environmental problems in India relate to air and water pollution particularly in metropolitan cities and industrial zones, degradation of common property resources (Tanks, Ponds Lakes, Rivers, Forests etc.) which affect the poor adversely as they depends on them for their livelihood, threat to biodiversity and inadequate system of solid waste disposal and sanitation with consequent adverse impact on health, infant mortality and birth rate.
Environmental issues are any such issues created due to human activities and cause harm to the environment. Environmental issues are harmful effects of human activity on the biophysical environment.
They relate to the anthropogenic effects on the natural environment, which are loosely divided into causes, effects and mitigation, noting that effects are interconnected and can cause new effects.

Life on earth is always dependent on Nature. From the very inception of a living phenomena, Nature has sustained life, including human life.
Sustainable development, in general, refers to the process of socio-economic development through a judicious utilization of nature’s resources, keeping in view the needs of future generations.
When we talk of sustainable development in relation to education per se we must be clear in our mind the concept, scope and application of terms like sustainability, development and also education.
A Curriculum Model to Underpin Education for Sustainable DevelopmentESCalate
This is an enquiry-based model that addresses the cognitive, affective and action domains. It is illustrated by children in a Devon primary school who “identified a real issue that concerned them”.
Sustainable development in environment studiesTheProjectBox1
In this presentation, we will discuss expanses and features of Sustainable development
Sustainable development is largely about people, their well-being, and equity in their relationships with each other, in a context where nature-society imbalances can threaten economic and social stability
Sustainable development is the idea that human societies must live and meet their needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
