What is sustainable development?
How it can be achieved?

What is sustainable
development?
Healthy environment is the key for survival of human beings
Damaging the environment means damaging the health of human beings
Human development is key to survival of humanity
Damaging progress of industries means reducing chances of our survival
Industrialists should think of better waste disposal methods
Management of human consumption is necessary
Forming program and policies to supervise disposal activities and management of resources
Construction on agricultural land must be avoided
No construction on agricultural land mean people have to leave their houses
More areas should be taken under national parks and wildlife sanctuary
Population explosion will lead to overcrowding of planet
Common laws must be established for mother earth and mankind.We should take a step forward to save our plant!!!!
Technology has become a means of survival
Belief 4
The issues are too big. Local level action is much more important than all this global stuff. It’s not my problem, nothing I do will make a difference. Governments and international agencies will sort it out
Belief 1
Sustainable development is such a vague concept. Its vagueness gives opportunities for people with many different agenda to interpret it to suit their own interests. It seems meaningless in practice
Belief 2
There’s so much we don’t know and are uncertain about anyway in this world, what difference does it make to subscribe to sustainable development?
Belief 3
Human ingenuity and technology is the key to successful development
Belief 5
Sustainable development’s inherent ethical position is anthropocentric. Humans can’t control everything. I can defend a different ethical position
Sustainable development to us means the collaboration of government, stakeholders, communities and individuals to introduce and implement practical and realistic resource use policies, that safe guards not only the livelihoods and survival of humans but that of the environment for the present and future generations.
