iC Sustainable Development Supriya Roll no.28 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 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 DEVELOPMENT * Economic growth * Environmental protection SCS * Social inclusion PILLARS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Sustainable development @) Bevevopment GOALS 17 GOALS TO TRANSFORM OUR WORLD EXAMPLES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 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. igemarm @ =e: DEVELOPMENT... 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. Ky CONCLUSION 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 : climate change, its drivers, its impacts and its policy sract with economic production and services, human s nan societies, climate change is likely to be a significé stainable development of many areas (e.g., Downing stated climate chanoe has the notential to affect many THANKS Supriya X-B (28)
