Q.10 Write a note on sustainable development.
ANS:
The
most frequently used definition of Sustainable development is from the
Brundtland Report “Sustainable development is the development that meets the
needs of the present (people) without compromising the ability of future generation
to meet their own needs”. In other words it is improving the quality of life of
the present generation without excessive use or abuse of natural resources, so
that they can be preserved for the next generation.
The
term was first coined in 1972 at the United Nations Conference on Human
Environment at Stockholm. The most important piece of writing on Sustainable
development is in the publication by the World Commission on Environment and Development
(WCED) in 1987 titled ‘Our Common Future”. In 1992 at the Earth summit at
Rio-de-Janerio, 170 countries signed many important documents on sustainable
development pledging preservation of environment.
Sustainable
development is often referred as the marriage of economy and ecology. i.e. to
attain economic development without compromising the ecological balance. It can
be attained by rigorous policy change, taking action and altering practices.

a)
