1. Sustainable development By Kilong

2. What is Sustainable development Sustainable development is the organizing principle for meeting human development goals while simultaneously sustaining the ability of natural systems to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services on which the economy and society depends. The desired result is a state of society where living conditions and resources are used to continue to meet human needs without undermining the integrity and stability of the natural systems . Sustainable development can be defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs .

3. For example :- Building a new community in a previously undeveloped area without destroying the ecosystem or harming the environment is an example of sustainable development.

4. Why is there a need for Sustainable development Sustainable development:- is important as it saves national budget ,fulfils the need of people , conserves natural resources , helps in the coordination between the natural resources and people and conserves natural resources for . future generation .

5. Example 1 :- Groundwater in india Recent evidence suggests that the groundwater is under serious threat of overuse in many parts of the country . About 300 districts have reported a water level decline of over 4 meters during the past 20 years. Nearly one-third of the country is overusing their groundwater reserves. In another 25 years, 60 per cent of the country would be doing the same if the present way of using this resource continues .Groundwater overuse is particularly found in the agriculturally prosperous regions of Punjab & Western U.P, hard rock plateau areas of central and South India , Some coastal areas and the rapidly growing Urban settlements .

6. Example 2:- exhaustion of natural resouces The table gives an estimate of reserves of crude oil (table 1.7) . More important , it also tells us for how many years the stock of crude oil will last if people continue to extract it at the present rate .The reserves would last only 50 years more. Countries like India depends on importing oil from abroad because they do not of have enough stocks of their own . If prices of oil increase this becomes a burden for everyone . There are countries like USA which have low reserves and hence want to secure oil through military or economic power …

7. What are the sustainable development goals ? The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):- also known as the Global Goals , were adopted by all United Nations Members States In 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty , protect the planet and ensure that the people enjoys peace and prosperity by 2030. The 17 SDGs are integrated -- that is , they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others , and that development must balance social , economic and environmental sustainability .

14. Education about sustainable development Education must be revisited in light of a renewed vision of sustainable human and social development that is both equitable and viable . This vision of sustainability must take into consideration the social , environmental and economic dimensions of human development and the various ways in which these relate to education: ’ An empowering education is one that the human resources we need to be productive , to continue to learn , to solve problems , to be creative , and to live together and with nature in peace and harmony . When nations ensure that such an education is accessible to all throughout their lives , a quiet revolution is set in motion : education becomes the engine of sustainable development and the key a better world ….

15. Three pillars of sustainability Sustainability is most often defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs . It has three main pillars : economic , environmental , and social . These three pillars are informally referred to as people, planet and profits ..

16. What is undp’s role As the lead United Nation Development Agency . UNDP is well – placed to help implement the Goals through our work in some 170 countries and territories. They support countries in achieving the SDG’s through integrated solutions. Today’s complex challenges – from stemming the spread of disease to preventing conflict – cannot be tackled neatly in isolation . For UNDP, this means focusing on systems , root causes and connections between challenges –not just thematic sectors – to build solutions that respond to people’s daily realities.

17. Technology in sustainable development One of the core concepts in sustainable development is that technology can be used to assist people to meet their development needs . Technology to meet these sustainable development needs is often referred to as appropriate technology , which is an ideological movement and now covers a wide range of technologies . Many modern–day proponents of appropriate technology also emphasize the technology as people- centre. Today appropriate technology is often developed using open source principles , which have led to open-source appropriate technology (OSAT) and thus many of the plans of the plans of the technology can be freely found on the Internet .
