Sustainable Development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs. Sustainable Development has continued to evolve as that of protecting the world’s resources while it’s true goal is to control the world’s resources. So environmentally sustainable economic growth refers to economic development that meets the needs of all without leaving future generation with fewer natural resources than those we enjoy today.
The term Sustainable Development first came to prominence in the world conservation strategy in 1980. It achieved a new status with the publication of two significant reports by Brutland on North and South in 1985.Our Common Future and has gained even greater attention since the United Nation Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janerio in June 1992. “Sustainable Development means that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs”. The aim of sustainable development is to balance our economic, environmental and social needs allowing prosperity for now and future generation. Sustainable development consists of a long-term, integrated approach to developing and achieving a healthy community by jointly addressing economics, environmental and social issues, whilst avoiding the over consumption of key natural resources.
