Question

What do you mean by sustainable development? How can we achieve it?

Answer 1

Sustainable development can be defined as an approach to the economic development of a country without compromising with the quality of the environment for future generations.
In the name of economic development, the price of environmental damage is paid in the form of land degradation, soil erosion, air and water pollution, deforestation, etc.

• It can be achieved by restricting human activities.
• The rate of consumption should not surpass the rate of salvation.
• All types of pollution should be minimised.
• It can be achieved by sensible use of natural resources.
