1. Green Technology and Sustainable Development Presented by: Humna Shafiq CHEM242503004

2. Contents To Be Covered: Green Technology Goals of Green Technology Types of Green Technology Sustainable Development Examples of Sustainable Development Principles of Sustainable Development Steps Towards A Green Economy Conclusion

3. Green Technology: Definition : Environmental friendly technology Conserves natural resources and the environment sustainable development Radical thinking to change Innovative technology Green tech is the use of science and technology to develop eco-friendly products and services that protect our environment. It includes renewable energy, sustainable transportation, waste management and recycling, energy efficiency solutions, all helping us move towards a more sustainable future .

4. Goals of Green Technology: Recycling Renewing Reducing Responsibility

5. Types of Green Technology: Green Energy Green Building Green Chemistry Green Nano-technology Green Purchasing

6. Sustainable Development: Definition: Sustainable development is define in many ways but the most common definition is, “Development that meats the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meat their on needs” Furthermore; Sustainable development means finding ways to meet our needs without harming the environment for future generations. It's about balancing economic growth, social progress, and environmental protection .

7. Examples of Sustainable Development: Using renewable energy sources like solar or wind power instead of relying on fossil fuels. Implementing recycling programs to reduce waste and conserve resources. Building eco-friendly and energy-efficient buildings. Romoting public transportation and biking to reduce carbon emissions from cars. Protecting and preserving natural habitats and biodiversity. Supporting fair trade practices to ensure workers receive fair wages and safe working conditions .

8. Principles: Living within environmental limits. Achieving a sustainable economy. Promoting good governance. Using sound science responsibility. Ensuring a strong healthy society.

9. Steps Towards Green Economy: Land Management: Refers to practices and technologies that aim to integrate managements of land, water biodiversity and other environmental resources to meet human needs. Water Management: Water resource management is the activity of planning, developing, distributing and managing the optimum use of water resources. The field of water resources management will have to continue to adapt the current and future issues facing the allocation of water.

10. Cont. Clean and Efficient Waste Management: For effective waste management, waste minimization, reuse, recycle and energy recovery are more sustainable then conventional landfill or dump site disposal technique . Renewable Energy: Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources which are naturally replenished on a human time scale such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat.

11. Cont. Recycle, Reused and Reduced: 3R principles helps us toward sustainable living. Making people think about the impact of their consumption and production of waste can help to encourage us to make life style better . More Efficient and Cleaner Energy Production: The use of solar power, wind power, rain, tides and waves power and geothermal heat to produce energy is the more efficient and cleaner way of producing energy.

12. Cont. Green Building: Designing and constructing energy efficient and environment friendly buildings that minimize resource consumption and promote healthy living environment. Clean Transportation: Refer to improve sustainable and clean transportation facilities. Develop such systems that include electric vehicles, public transportation and cycling infra-structure.

13. Sustainable Agriculture: Sustainable Agriculture: Promoting sustainable farming practices, such as organic farming, agroforestry, and precision agriculture, to minimize environmental impact and enhance food security .

14. Limitations: Some limitations to consider. The initial cost of implementing green technology can be high, making it less accessible for some communities or industries. The efficiency and reliability of certain green technologies, such as renewable energy sources, may still need improvement to match the performance of conventional alternatives. The transition to a fully sustainable society requires widespread adoption and behavioral changes, which can be challenging to achieve.

15. Conclusion: Green economy is the need of the hour and it is very essential and helpful for our present and the future generations .if we follow the parameters of green economy strictly then we can enjoy a better lifestyle and improve our living standards. Green growth in all fields leads to a green economy which later leads to sustainable development, thus helping in the overall growth and development of a society and environment.
