The Concept of Sustainable Development
The greatest challenge in the concept of development is the fulfillment of
human necessities which expand with the increase in population. More resources

have to be used to fulfill needs of the increasing population. The environment has to
bear a huge cost resulted by the increase in production and inputs. The environment
is put into great risk due to the fact that in the process of development man has
completely forgotten the environment as he pay greater attention to fulfill his needs
and requirements.
Due to the reasons like excessive mining of resources, moving to alternative
resources as a result of by the scarcity of resources, increase of waste matter
disposed to the environment, intensification of environmental pollution, etc., we
have to face marginal states such as damaging the bio diversity, obstruction of
natural process, intensification of natural disasters and increase in global warming.
Even though the concept of development has upgraded the quality of human
life through economic development it is revealed that as a whole it has not been
able to bring fairness to the world community. Majority of the world population
suffers from poverty while destruction and deterioration of the quality of natural
resources are taking place. As a result of this, a greater number of people are subject
to of unfavourable physical health conditions.
In this manner, changes that cannot be borne by the physical environmental
systems should not be brought about for the sake of the quality of human
development. The interactions between man and the environment should not
be disregarded and we should not leave room for the destruction of resources.
It is important to pay attention to prevent depletion of rare and exhaustible
(non-renewable) resources. We should also utilize these resources with proper
management. Accordingly, man should enter into the development concept in a
fair manner that safeguards the existence of the future man in the globe despite
the development attempts.
