 What is Sustainable

meets the needs of the
present without

 What is Development?
Generally, Development is the gradual growth of a
situation that becomes more advanced and strong
than previous one.
Development is intended to bring a positive change for
human being and its surroundings. It may take place
by bringing about a change in policy, projects and
legislation.

Development is an unfolding of human potentials for

meaningful participation in economic, social, political
and cultural process and institutions, so that people
can improve their conditions.

1972
• The United Nations Conference on the Human
Environment was held in Stockholm, Sweden from June

• A conference which focused on human interactions with
the environment and "stimulating and providing
guidelines for action by national government and
international organizations" facing environmental issues.

including human rights, economic and environmental
challenges, threats of weapons of mass destruction
and among others.

• 2. World Commission on Environment and

Development
• However, despite the widely recognized fact that sustainable
development have its origins in the 1972 UN Conference on
Human Environment, the concept of sustainable development
already began on the World Commission on Environment
and Development, which is now known as the Bruntland
Commission headed by the appointed chairperson of the
Commission, Prime Minister Gro Harlem Bruntland of
Norway.

Development
• The Bruntland Commission officially dissolved in
December 1987 after releasing Our Common Future
in October 1987, which is also known as Bruntland
Report, now popularized under the term sustainable
development.

• 3. UN Conference on Environment and Development

1992
❑The main outcomes of Earth Summit were:

Agenda 21, which was a voluntary sustainable development

plan of action, for implementation by national, regional, and
local governments. This contained a wide range of program
areas focused on social and economic development,
environmental protection and enhancement and encouraging
participation from communities, NGOs and groups identified by
UN as under-represented in decision-making including women,
children, and indigenous communities.

• 4. UN Framework Convention on Climate Change

(UNFCCC)
• An international environmental treaty adopted on 9 May 1992
and opened for signature at the Earth Summit in Rio de
Janeiro from 3 to 14 June 1992, with its objective is to
“stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the
atmosphere at a level that would prevent
dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate
system”.

 EVOLUTION OF THE SDG
12/10/2022

• Paris Climate Agreement

• The Paris Agreement's long-term goal is to keep the increase
in global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-
industrial levels; and to limit the increase to 1.5 °C, since this
would substantially reduce the risks and effects of climate
change.
• Under the Paris Agreement, each country shall determine,
plan, and regularly report on the contribution that it undertakes
to make in order to mitigate global warming.

sustainable development.
• Minimizing the chances of environmental
degradation.

 Sustainability Principles
12/10/2022

• Reduce dependence upon fossil fuel, underground

metals and minerals.
• Reduce dependence upon synthetic chemicals and
other unnatural substances.
• Reduce encroachment upon nature.
• Meet human needs fairly and efficiently.

24
 Principles of Sustainable Society
12/10/2022

• Respect and care for the community life.

• Improve the quality of human life.
• Conserve the Earth’s vitality and diversity.
• Minimize the depletion of non-renewable resources.
• Keep within the Earth’s carrying capacity.
• Change attitudes and practices.
• Enable communities to care for their own environments.
• Provide a national framework for integrating development and
conservation.
• Create a global alliance.

25
 Sustainability issues are to be
analyzed at various levels
12/10/2022

• Global Level – Ozone depletion; Climate Change and Air

Pollution
• Regional, National or Area-level
Water pollution- Water Depletion-
Deforestation-Fisheries depletion-
Biodiversity-Desertification and Erosion
• Local Level- a plot, a farm or a village
Soil Losses- Loss of soil quality (chemical or
physical)-Loss of form income

26
 What is needed to achieve the
sustainable development?
12/10/2022

• Eco-Friendly.
• Present generation should be aware for needs of presence
and future generation.
• And ensure the productive assets available to future
generation.
• Such technologies need to be developed and implemented
which help to conserve resources.
• Prevent unnecessary pollution and help restore the
environment wherever appropriates.

The SDGs are …

➤ A set of 17 goals for the world’s future, through 2030

➤ Backed up by a set of 169 detailed Targets
➤ Negotiated over a two-year period at the United
Nations
➤ Agreed to by nearly all the world’s nations, on 25
Sept 2015
 What is new and different
about the 17 SDGs?
First, and most important, these Goals apply to every nation … and
every sector. Cities, businesses, schools, organizations, all are
challenged to act. This is called

Universality
Second, it is recognized that the Goals are all inter-
connected, in a system. We cannot aim to achieve
just one Goal. We must achieve them all. This is
called

Integration
 And finally, it is widely recognized that achieving
these Goals involves making very big, fundamental
changes in how we live on Earth. This is called

Transformation
