Answer 2

Issue of sustainability important for development

Explanation:-

• Sustainable development means that development must meet the needs of the present without compromising on the ability to meet the needs of future generations.
• However, since the late twentieth century, many scientists have been warning that the current types and levels of development are not sustainable.
• The issue of sustainable development has emerged from the rapid industrialization of the world in the last century.
• It is felt that due to economic development and industrialization there has been indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources.
• On the other hand, the reserves of natural resources are limited.
• Therefore, if limited resources are completely exhausted, the future development of all countries may be in danger.
