Roll no.28ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We want to thank everyone who
helped with this project. Special
shoutout to our classmates for always
being there for us. Huge thanks to our
teachers for guiding us every step of
the way. And of course, thanks to our
parents for their constant support.
We couldn't have done it without the
resources provided by our school. This
project is a team effort, showing what
we can achieve together. It's been a
great learning experience, getting us
ready for whatever comes next.INTRODUCTION
* The term “sustainable development” first came to prominence
in the world Conservation Strategy (WCS) in 1980.
Tt achieved a new status with the publication of two significant
reports by Brundtalnd on: North and South: a programme for
survival and common crisis (1985) and
Our Common Future (1983) and has gained even greater
attention since the United Nations Conference on Environment
and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Jenerio in June
1992.DEFINITION
* 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.
* This damage may surpass the advantages of having more
quality output of goods and services.HOW SUSTAINABILITY WORKS
Sustainability encourages businesses to frame decisions in terms of
environmental, social, and human impact for the long-term, rather
than on short-term gains such as next quarter's earnings report. It
influences them to consider more factors than simply the immediate
profit or loss involved. Increasingly, companies have issued
sustainability goals such as commitment to zero-waste packaging by
a certain year, or to reduce overall emissions by a certain
percentage.
These companies can achieve their sustainability needs by cutting
emissions, lowering their energy usage, sourcing products from fair-
trade organizations, and ensuring their physical waste is disposed of
properly and with as small a carbon footprint as possible.OBJECTIVES OF SUSTAINABLE

Wind Energy
Wind energy is energy harnessed from
the motion of wind using wind Vt +
turbines or windmills. Wind energy is a
renewable, which means it’s never- ‘
ending and can be used to substitute h~
energy at the grid. This makes it a
good sustainable development
practice. RX "
.EXAMPLES OF SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT.....
Solar Energy
This is energy harnessed from the
sun using solar panels. It’s
advantageous since it’s absolutely
free and its supply is infinite.
These factors make it beneficial
to consumers and good for
Mother Nature because it doesn’t
contribute to the emission of
greenhouse gasses.

Green Space
Green spaces are locations
where plants and animals are left
to flourish. Parks also fall into
the category of green spaces.
Green spaces provide people a
remarkable opportunity to take
pleasure in outdoor recreation,
more so in big cities, where
Testing space is hard to come by,EXAMPLES OF SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT.....
Crop Rotation
Crop rotation, in contrast, is |
defined as “the successive planting
of different crops on the same land
to improve soil fertility and help
control insects and diseases.” This
way of farming is not a new
practice, but rather a more ancient
way of farming chemical-free,
whilst maximizing the long-term
growth potential of land. KyCONCLUSION
able development is largely about people, their well-b
n their relationships with each other, in a context whe:
imbalances can threaten economic and social stability
