2. what is sustainability ? Sustainability means reducing our harm on the environment and ultimately reversing the harm we have already caused. Sustainability means renewing resources at a rate equal to or greater than the rate at which they are consumed. Sustainability means living within the resources of the planet without damaging the environment now or in the future. Sustainability means creating an economic system that provides for quality of life while renewing the environment and its resources. A sustainable community is one that resembles a living system where all of the resources (human, natural, and economic) are renewed and in balance for perpetuity. Sustainability is creating a world where everyone can have fulfilling lives and enjoy a rich level of well-being within the limits of what nature can provide. Sustainability means taking the long-term view of how our actions effect future generations and making sure we don't deplete resources or cause pollution at rates faster than the earth is able to renew them.

6. Green development Green development  is a real estate development concept that carefully considers social and environmental impacts of development. It is defined by three sub-categories: environmental responsiveness, resource efficiency, and community and cultural sensitivity. Environmental responsiveness respects the intrinsic value of nature, and minimizes damage to an ecosystem. Resource efficiency refers to the use of fewer resources to conserve energy and the environment.

7. How it started? Green development emerged as a result of the environmental movement in the 1970s. In the real estate industry, use of the term commenced in 1987 with a report from the  World Commission on Environment and Development , entitled "Our Common Future". The report includes 16 principles of environmental management, designed to foster green development. It also discusses the traditional model of macroeconomic growth, and its disregard for environmental consequences. Following this initial movement, the real estate industry experienced a back-and-forth relationship with "green" methodologies; environmental issues often came second behind purely economic factors. Incessant environmental concern and legislation affecting the real estate sector began to emerge, i.e. Green development.

8. Green development in practice The Holly Street Village Apartments The city of  Pasadena, California  has recently adopted a general plan based on seven guiding principles: community needs and quality of life, preservation of Pasadena's historic character, economic vitality, a healthy family community, lack of need for automobiles, promoted as a cultural, scientific, corporate, entertainment and educational center for the region, and community participation.

Robert Zimmer (co-founder) and his partners, Steve Conger and Michael Fuller, set a goal to construct a building that would, "showcase energy- and resource-saving technologies, strengthen local community, offer first class elegance, and financially reward its participants

Taipei 101 Taipei 101 , stylized as TAIPEI 101, is a 1,667 feet (508 m) tall skyscraper located in  Taipei, Taiwan  which has received  LEED  (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification from the  U.S. Green Building Council  as the highest score in history. In this project, "TAIPEI" is an acronym for "technology," "art," "innovation," "people," "environment," and "identity.

13. Critiques of green development A common critique of green development is that it negatively affects the way real estate developers do business, as it can increase cost and create delay.  For example, becoming LEED-certified can contribute to additional costs. This includes additional building design and construction fees, interior design and construction fees, building operations and maintenance fees, neighborhood development fees, home and campus fees, and volume program fees LEED(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)

14. Sustainable development goal What it is???

15. Sustainable Development Goals The  Sustainable Development Goals  (SDGs) are the current harmonized set of seventeen future international development targets. The Official Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted on 25 September 2015 has 92 paragraphs, with the main paragraph (51) outlining the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and its associated 169 targets. This included the following seventeen goals:

19. SDG and MDG As of August 2015, there were 169 proposed targets for these goals and 304 proposed indicators to show compliance. The  Sustainable Development Goals  (SDGs) replace the eight  Millennium Development Goals  (MDGs), which expired at the end of 2015. The MDGs were established in 2000 following the  Millennium Summit  of the  United Nations . Adopted by the 189  United Nations member states  at the time and more than twenty  international organizations , these goals were advanced to help achieve the following  sustainable development  standards by 2015.

20. Millennium development goals To eradicate  extreme poverty and hunger To achieve  universal primary education To promote  gender equality  and empower women To reduce  child mortality To improve  maternal health To combat  HIV/AIDS ,  malaria , and other diseases To ensure environmental sustainability (one of the targets in this goal focuses on increasing sustainable access to safe  drinking water  and basic  sanitation ) To develop a global partnership for development
