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 :-
๏ง 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
๏ง 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
๏ง 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
๏ง 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 โฆ
7. WHAT ARE THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS ?
๏ง 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.
๏ง 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 .
15. EDUCATION ABOUT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
๏ฑ 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: โ 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 โฆ.
16. THREE PILLARS OF SUSTAINABILITY
๏ง 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 ..
17. WHAT IS UNDPโS ROLE
๏ง As the lead United Nation Development Agency . UNDP is well โ placed to help
implement the Goals through our work in some 170 countries and territories.
๏ง They support countries in achieving the SDGโs through integrated solutions. Todayโs
complex challenges โ from stemming the spread of disease to preventing conflict โ
cannot be tackled neatly in isolation . For UNDP, this means focusing on systems , root
causes and connections between challenges โnot just thematic sectors โ to build
solutions that respond to peopleโs daily realities.
18. TECHNOLOGY IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
๏ง 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 modernโday 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 .
