Sustainable development

Sustainable what? Sustainable development can be defined in many ways; the one that I prefer to use is that of the Brundtland Commission: "Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."(1) Along those lines, many Governments around the world strive to minimize the pollution impact over our most valuable resource, the Earth. Additionally, lobbyists have spent thousands of hours encouraging legislators to enact laws

UNCC100 – ASSESSMENT TASK 2 Mazin Aouf S00168525 – Isra Mobin Sustainable development has become each country’s priority and to effectively achieve this growth many countries use natural resources in production to comply with the consumers’ needs, at the same time making sure that the future generations’ needs are also met (Repetto et al., 1989). Hence the use of natural resources in production is processed carefully and effectively yet, even with cautious dealings accidents occur which result in

rises and at last fossil fuel reserves depletion. Worldwide all the developing countries are working to make a vibrant industrial sector where entrepreneurs will make investments and thus opportunities will be created for new jobs. To achieve sustainable development and alleviating poverty, most of the developing countries followed the energy strategy to be focused on combating energy poverty by improving integration systems to the reliable and renewable energy services, enhancing energy efficiencies

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which replaced the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the year 2015 is a fifteen (15) year long-term plan geared towards poverty eradication, protection of the planet and ensuring global prosperity. In all, the SDGs have seventeen (17) specific targets to be achieved by 20301.

Development and sustainability Borgese (1995) defined the basic meaning of the term sustainable development as that of “Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” The UN development goals were set out on 25th of September 2015 to be achieved by 2030, originally 17 goals were set out to cover a wide range of issues such as environmental, political, social that were aimed to make changing sustainability internationally achievable

In his book, The Age of Sustainable Development, Jeffery Sachs begins with the role of technological change in sustainable development. Sachs uses the Maglev in Shanghai as an example of how technological change can help with sustainable development. It improved transport services and energy efficiency, eventually enabling a shift to a clean low carbon system. Instead of being powered by finite resources such as coal or petroleum, the Maglev is powered by electricity. In most cases states are resistant

Introduction/Background Information Sustainable development, throughout time, has evolved various forms of definitions. However, this term is used in reference to environmental, ecological, social, and economical development and in terms of the dictionary reference, the term could be used in terms of trying to uphold, or the long term effect of actions for a desired result (Naz, 2009, p.187).

As the vast majority of resources on the earth are exhaustible, this idea comes up as a solution to the problem of preserving the planet for future generations. Different countries have different plans for creating sustainable development, but there is also a global consensus

The term “green” is used to refer to anything that is built for or working towards a sustainable, environmentally-friendly future. Sustainable development is not just about conserving our resources: it is about changing our culture to make conservation a way of life. The earth has a natural balance, and over consumption of its resources, whether it is polluting or diverting
