Critical Review
Today society is taking major crisis with the limited amount of resources. As a solution, technologies like sustainable development came in to the stage.
The definitions we have gathered are given below.
"Sustainable development is the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs"(Strange & Bayley, 2008).
""The concept of sustainable development does imply limits- not absolute limits but limitations imposed by the present state of technology and social organization on environmental resources and by the ability of the biosphere to absorb the effects of human activities".
"Sustainable development implies economic growth together with the protection of environmental quality each reinforcing the other. The essence of this form of development is a stable relationship between human activities and natural world, which does not diminish the prospects of future generations to enjoy a quality of life at least good as our own".
According to the definitions we have gathered, it mainly focuses about the peak of economic growth without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In other words it is about maintaining a healthy stable relationship between the human activities and natural world.
In addition, sustainable products conserve the quality of environment, while achieving the human needs and social welfare.
According to the definitions we have gathered for sustainable development, one definition describes that it can be identified as a concept of conserving resources for future which provides the long term stability of the economy and the environment. On the other hand another definition states that sustainable development imply certain limitations on environmental resources. Comparing the similarities among the definitions we can get in to the conclusion that it provides resources for the usage of long term requirements but with having a limit on the environmental resources because it will make sure that the resources will last long.
We can get into a conclusion from the definitions that sustainable development is very important and essential for a country in order to reduce the problems which may occur due to the rareness of resources in the future. We have to use the resources with limitations in order to make it successful. The concept of Sustainable Development must be highly considered in a country.
