    SUSTAINABLE
    DEVELOPMENT

    WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE
    DEVELOPMENT ?
    The ability of future generations to meet
    their own needs is not compromised when
    current demands are met through
    sustainable development. The assertion is
    accurate and offers a goal many people
    want, but it makes no recommendations or
    guarantees about gauging progress toward
    sustainable development. Sustainability is
    frequently used interchangeably with
    “sustainable development.” Expansion can
    be thought of as development. Thus
    sustainable development involves
    addressing the issue brought on by ongoing
    economic growth without posing a threat.

    Following the publication of the acclaimed


    report “Our Common Future” by the World
    Commission on Environment and
    Development in 1987, the phrase
    “sustainable development” became widely
    used in the international scientific
    community. To learn more about sustainable
    development, read the article below.
    THE FOLLOWING CASES INDICATE THE
    FUNDAMENTAL TRAITS OF SUSTAINABLE
    DEVELOPMENT

    • Real per capita income and economic welfare


    should continue to increase over the long run.

    • Simply said, sustainable development means that


    resources should be utilized organically and without
    overusing them.

    • Sustainable development aims to use natural


    resources and the environment to raise the standard of
    living while preserving future generations’ capacity to
    meet their own needs.

    • Promoting environmentally friendly and


    biodegradable products is a goal of sustainable
    development, as is establishing sustainable plans for
    resource replacement or replenishment.

    • Green architecture and other environmentally


    friendly building techniques are emphasized in
    sustainable development.
    HISTORY OF SUSTAINABLE
    DEVELOPMENT

    Though SD thinking is widely recognised to


    have its origins in the 1972 UN Conference
    on the Human
    Environment, SD as a concept began to
    gather momentum following the 1987
    Brundtland Report, Our Common
    Future, and the 1992 UN Conference on
    Environment and Development (UNCED),
    also known as the Earth
    Summit. For the first time, the Brundtland
    Report introduced the need for the
    integration of economic
    development, environmental protection, and
    social justice and inclusion.
    BENEFITS OF SUSTAINABLE
    DEVELOPMENT

    The advantages of sustainable development include:


    1)Ensuring better life for future generations.
    2)Lowers negative impact on the environment.
    3)Ensures long-term economic growth.
    Sustainable development refers to the development
    process that does not compromise future needs. It
    refers to a process of development that focuses on the
    present and also gives importance to the future.

    1. Ensuring better life for future generations:


    The primary focus of sustainable development is
    ensuring a better life for future generations.
    The development process happens in the present,
    keeping in mind its impact on future generations.
    2. Lowers negative impact on the environment:
    Sustainable development also refers to nature-friendly
    development. Thus, it does not have any negative
    impact on the environment.
    3. Ensures long term economic growth:
    Since, the development process involves a lot of
    necessary factors like wise investment, nature friendly
    and future prospect, it ensures long term economic
    benefits.
    Thus, sustainable development is advantageous and
    helpful in building a sustainable society.
    GOALS OF SUSTAINABLE
    DEVELOPMENT

    GOAL 1: No Poverty.

    GOAL 2: Zero Hunger.

    GOAL 3: Good Health and Well-being.

    GOAL 4: Quality Education.


    GOAL 5: Gender Equality.

    GOAL 6: Clean Water and Sanitation.

    GOAL 7: Affordable and Clean Energy.

    GOAL 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.


    HOW CAN WE ACHIEVE
    SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

    1)Improvement in human capacity is needed through


    better education and healthcare that will result in
    improving the quality of life and better decisions
    related to the environment.
    2)Consumption and production should be managed
    responsibly so as to avoid wastage.

    3)Decarbonize the energy system so as to provide


    clean and affordable energy to all.

    4)Providing access to clean drinking water and


    nutritious food.

    5)Protecting the environment from damage due to


    human activities.

    6)Planning smart infrastructure so that the population


    can be managed properly.
    7)Responsible use of information technology to support
    sustainable development.

    SUSTAINABLE CITY
    A sustainable city reduces environmental
    impacts through its activities and promotes
    sustainable consumption and production
    patterns in accordance with its own
    territorial, geographical, social, economic
    and cultural conditions. It is a city that is
    resilient to the impacts of climate change
    reducing the vulnerabilities of its population.
    The perfect sustainable city would be one
    that is self-sufficient in energy, manages
    waste to produce energy, has more
    sustainable transport, maintains green
    spaces and manages and uses its natural
    resources correctly. It would be a city that is
    built on the principles of ecology, education
    and equality. Below we will analyze the
    characteristics of sustainable cities and how
    you can do your part to achieve a clean and
    ecological city.

    CHARACTERISTICS OF
    SUSTAINABLE CITY

    1. Environmentally conscious inhabitants:


    A sustainable city can only exist when its inhabitants
    are committed to changing their old habits for new
    ones that are less harmful to the environment. There
    would be no point in taking actions to promote
    recycling, investing in new energy and technologies if
    the people themselves do not intend to readjust their
    habits to contribute to and adopt these changes.
    Sustainable cities need citizens who are committed to
    the cause, who are environmentally aware and whose
    lifestyles can identify with environmentally conscious
    actions.

    2.Regenerating and preserving natural spaces The


    renewal of public spaces is necessary. This implies the
    adaptation of urban space in general; a sustainable city
    provides green spaces that are larger, more
    comfortable and integrated into cities, never isolated.
    The planning of cities nowadays incorporates these
    spaces, providing a healthier air for citizens that can
    avoid exposure to high levels of pollution.

    3. Mainly local city economy


    Sustainable cities also encourage models that
    encourage local purchasing and networks of productive,
    environmentally friendly people. By creating
    sustainable productive systems and new jobs to ensure
    that everyone in the city has access to resources and a
    fulfilling life, the economy becomes stronger. By
    supporting local trade we also reduce CO2 emissions
    generated by transport.
    4. Renewable energy techniques
    Technological advances have created the possibility of
    using new renewable energy sources. They have made
    it possible to supply our energy consumption with
    cleaner and less polluting energies than those we used
    previously. In the same way, electric vehicles are also a
    great contribution and a great alternative to the
    polluting traditional ways of transport. This is why we
    must encourage both large companies and individual
    citizens to use these alternative energies
    5. The three R’s: reduce, reuse, recycle
    Actions should be developed to promote the
    importance of recycling and responsible consumption,
    thus avoiding the excessive abuse of natural resources.
    From your home, your family and you can help,
    contribute and encourage the implementation of these
    actions that will ultimately be of great benefit to society
    as a whole. In any case, counting with the involvement
    and willingness of all citizens will mean being able to
    have more sustainable, cleaner and more
    environmentally friendly cities. Small actions will mean
    a lot for society and at we know this and we put it into
    practice, what about you? Don’t you want to join the
    sustainable development journey? If you need more
    information, do not hesitate to contact us. We will help
    you to create your sustainable city.
    SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES

    Sustainable community
    The term "sustainable communities" has
    various definitions, but in essence refers to
    communities planned, built, or modified to
    promote sustainable living. Sustainable
    communities tend to focus on environmental
    and economic sustainability, urban
    infrastructure, social equity, and municipal
    government
