Sustainable development provides the actual generation's needs and preserves the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for future generations. Also:
· Renewable resources won't be exploited at a rate greater than the replacement and not only to the extent they are replaced by alternative sources.
· Won't be thrown away the environment more wastes than it can absorb.
Major challenges for sustainable development:
The inability of the human to live in harmony with the planet, the great interaction between man and natural system, are the great environmental problems nowadays. To this day, no species, except the human, has been able to modify so substantially, in such a short time, the characteristics of the planet.
Thus, the world's problems that arise are the following:
- Overpopulation and inequalities.
- The increase of greenhouse effect.
- Destruction of the ozone layer.
- Humanization of the landscape.
- Preservation of biodiversity.
- Erosion, desertification and forest destruction.
I think this article explain easily what the sustainability is. Also, we can learn that an unsustainable development produces bad effect such as the mentioned in my article.
