Answer 1

Explanation: 3 Marks

The concept of sustainable development encourages forms of growth that meet current basic human needs, while reserving the resources for the needs of future generations. Economic development is linked to environmental conservation. Thus sustainable development implies a change in all aspects of life. It depends upon the willingness of the people to change their perceptions of the socio-economic and environmental conditions around them, and the readiness of each individual to alter their present use of natural resources.
