(MAKE PPT)
As we all know Sustainable development practices help countries grow in ways that adapt to the challenges posed by climate change, which will in turn help to protect important natural resources for ours and future generations.
Students are requested to make a project on Sustainable Development Goals using the material available at home .
Students can keep the following pointers in mind or can make the project on their own .
Pointers -
1.Use less water 2.Turn off the lights 3.Use renewable energy 4. Recycle 5. Compost 6.Choose reusable goods 7.Manage your thermostat 8.Thrift shop etc.
The project can be divided as follows:
1) What do you understand by Sustainable Development explain with examples?
2) what are the Principles of Sustainable Development?
3) What are the things we need for sustainable development to happen?
4) What are the objectives of the sustainable development goals?
5) How will you contribute towards sustainable development?

What is Sustainable Development?
All systems and societies naturally develop. However, In this day and age, development is moving at breakneck speeds, thanks to advancements in technology. The only problem is that not everyone considers the downsides that come along with unbalanced economic growth including impacts on people’s well-being and environment.
It’s about time people start to change their perspective on unbalanced economic development by viewing the world in a completely different way. What would help people achieve that is setting sustainable development goals.
Sustainable development is the practice of using guidelines for environmentally responsible and energy savings to create new development projects and to maintain and retrofit older projects.
It can include using green materials in new construction, designing projects that can harvest their own energy to reduce the load on a power grid, or that incorporate green space in order to counterbalance the green space removed to build the onsite facilities.
There is a heavy emphasis on making sure that what is built can be maintained and repaired in a way that minimizes the degradation of the original development so that the lifespan of a facility is longer than normal.
According to Wikipedia,
“Sustainable development is the organizing principle for meeting human development goals while simultaneously sustaining the ability of natural systems to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services on which the economy and society depend. The desired result is a state of society where living conditions and resources are used to continue to meet human needs without undermining the integrity and stability of the natural system. Sustainable development can be defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
Sustainable development involves satisfying the needs of the present population without endangering the capability of the future population to satisfy its own needs.
It’s about improving the well being of everyone wherever they are and achieving this milestone collectively. Sustainable development also digs deeper.
This means we want companies to expand, people to have the best jobs, everyone to afford nutritious foods wherever they live, quality and affordable education for everyone, freedom of speech without violence, and our economies to grow exponentially. We want to develop innovative technologies while keeping the environment safe
