Sustainable Development
Concept of Sustainable Development
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Goals of Sustainable Development
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure a better life and prospects for everyone, adopted by all United Nations member states in 2015 as part of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.
Importance of Sustainable Development
Sustainability practices help address the impacts of climate change, conserve natural resources, reduce waste, and tackle social and economic issues such as poverty and inequality. This, in turn, promotes stability, prosperity, and a better future for all.
