development is
Sustainable
development to be
achieved, it is crucial
to harmonize three
core elements:
economic growth,
social inclusion and
environmental
protection.
 Importance
Sustainable development always
encourages us to conserve and
enhance our resources, by
gradually changing the manners in
which we develop and use
technologies. All Countries should
meet their basic needs of
employment, food, energy, water,
and sanitation.
Sustainable development is
referred to as the idea that human
beings should sustain by meeting
their basic needs, while also
making sure that the future
generations are able to meet their
basic needs. Global Issues and
Sustainable Development ●
Inequitable growth of national
economies (North-South Divide)
● Loss of Biodiversity: Despite
mounting efforts over the past 20
years, the loss of the world’s
biodiversity continues.
Sustainable development is important because resources are
limited
Importance of sustainable development
◦ Economic Growth ● Focuses on equal economic growth that generates wealth for all, without harming
the environment. ● Investment and equal distribution of economic resources. ● Eradicating poverty
in all its forms and dimensions.
◦ nvironmental Protection ❏ It prevents nature from being used as an inexhaustible source of resources
and ensures its protection and rational use. ❏ Aspects such as environmental conservation,
investment in renewable energy, saving water, supporting sustainable mobility, and innovation in
sustainable construction and architecture, contribute to achieving environmental sustainability on
several fronts
◦ Social Inclusion ★ It can foster: – gender equality and – development of people, communities and
cultures ★ Help achieve a reasonable and fairly-distributed quality of life, healthcare and

Coco-cola
In the now infamous case of
Plachimada in the southern
state of Kerala, Coca-Cola's
plant was forced to close
down in March 2004 after
the village council refused to
renew the company's licence,
on the grounds that it had
over-used and contaminated
local water resources.
Coco cola using All ground

because of that the water
level is very low today the

High Court on 4/10/19 upholding the
permission of the Tree Authority the
felling of 2,185 trees was undertaken on
October 4 and 5, 2019 and as on date
2,141 trees have been felled,” tweeted
Mumbai Metro.
In the morning, Tushar Mehta, appearing
for Maharashtra state, told the Supreme
Court that no more trees will be cut. The
the top court too said that status quo will
be maintained till the next date of hearing
and put a stop to further felling of trees.
The court also ordered the immediate
release of protesters upon furnishing of
personal bond.
The activists are suggested other sides for
building that metro station. Activists are
against this because there are many
speciethes of animals and birds in rera,
which are under threat of Extintion. the

 Jaipur metro

The Jaipur Metro is a white elephant project

Wilbur Smith, an international firm, which

conducted the ridership survey, estimates
1,21,000 commuters a day till March 31,
2018. As per the Jaipur Metro Rail
Corporation (JMRC) assessment, the project
is staring at an annual operational loss of Rs
41 crore for the next 10 years. The loss is
calculated at 60% of the ridership. The
amount will rise up to Rs 71 crore a year if
the loss is calculated at 20% ridership.

Jmrc is faceing this problem because they

ignore that Jaipur don’t need a metro Till
2025 according to the, (CAG) Comptroller
and auditor general Because to support metro
the population should be 40 lakhs but
population of Jaipur in 2011 was 23 lakhs
even if we consider average per square km
density it is just 6500per square km density
half of the Indian requirements to approve
any metro in India And the too increase the
problem the timeings are from 7:00am to
9:00pm it is very less And the bad
connectivity.

◦ The horizon challenge: accelerating the shift to a green economy.
◦ Reinventing steel for a green future. Solar Panels. Waste-to-Energy Recycling. Water Treatment
Plants. Wind Turbines.
◦ Clean water

 Clean water
◦ A key policy priority of the Governmenttowards achieving the SDG 6 (Ensure availability and
sustainable management of water and sanitation for all) has been the cleanliness of mighty River
Ganga through Namami Gange Mission. The mission was launched as a priority programme with a
budget outlay of `20,000 crore for the period 2015-2020. During the period 2014-15 to 2018-19, a total
amount of `6,106.25 crore has been spent on the programme indicating a substantial jump over earlier
similar projects
To ensure proper inventorisation and inspection of point source pollution from industrial units, 1,109
Grossly Polluting Industries (GPIs) were identified and surveyedindependently by 12 Technical
Institutions. The compliance of the operational GPIs in 2017 as against 2018 improved from 39 per cent to
76 per cent
Resource efficiency
◦ Resource Efficiency (RE) has emerged as one of the key strategies towards the 2030 Agenda
of achieving the SDGs. SDG 12 aims to ‘Ensure Sustainable Consumption and Production
Patterns’ along with the eight other SDG goals (2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14 and 15) have a bearing
on resource efficiency. Sustainable consumption and production is also a priority for the
Government of India and is reflected in various policies/programme announcements like
Make in India, Zero Effect-Zero Defect Scheme, Smart Cities, Swachh Bharat, and Ganga
Rejuvenation Mission. A resource efficient development approach essentially means a
transition of the management of natural resources with a progressive minimization of waste
in both consumption and production processes through various policies and measures.
INTERNATIONAL SOLAR ALLIANCE (ISA)
◦ ISA is the first treaty-based International Intergovernmental Organization launched by India and
France on 30 November, 2015 in Paris and entered into force on 6 December, 2017. As on June
2019, 75 countries have signed and out of which, 52 countries have ratified the ISA Framework
Agreement. The first Assembly of the ISA was convened on October 3, 2018. ISA’s motto is, “let
us together make the sun brighter”. ISA has launched five programmes so far: Scaling Solar
Applications for Agriculture Use; Affordable Finance at Scale; Scaling Solar Mini Grids; Scaling
Solar Rooftop, and Scaling Solar in E-mobility and Storage.
◦ ISA has been working with various financial institutions for scaling up financing, lowering the cost
of capital, and designing innovative financial instruments to accelerate the massive deployment of
solar energy. ISA’s engagement with Indian Diplomatic Missions in member countries, financing
by the Export Import Bank of India, among others, resulted in development of a portfolio of 27
solar projects in 15 countries. These projects are being supported with India’s concessional
financing of US$ 1.4 billion.
