Critical review

Sustainable development is the economic development that is conducted without depletion of natural resources. In other words, sustainable development is the balance between improvement of lifestyles and well-being and preserving natural resources and ecosystems. Dernbach stated that, “effective governance requires a nation to consider and protect the environment and natural resources on which its current and future development depend.” Sustainable development integrates economic development, social development and environmental protection. . It is more than just caring about the environment, or generating money through the economic growth.

                                         

The use of renewable and non-renewable resources in a manner that satisfies our current needs but does not compromise the future ability of resources. According to UN. Sustainable development “meets the needs of present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

There are several goals of sustainable development such as ensure healthy lives, knowledge, and the inclusion of women and children, end poverty and fight inequality, grow a strong, inclusive, and transformative economy, protect our ecosystems for all societies and our children etc. But our rate of consumption of natural resources has placed a big stress on the environment. The crying need is for sustainable development which aims at development which does not have a negative impact on the environment. In conclusion, careful use of the resources and maximum use of non-conventional energy sources will enable us to attain sustainable development.
