Answers
Sustainable means long lasting while development refers to progress. Put together, the term sustainable development means ensuring progress of the people and community, especially in economic terms, while still caring for the environment. It is not an option, but a necessity.
Reasons why sustainable development is necessary:
1. To protect the environment: Development, (like urbanization) often harms the environment, upsetting various ecosystems. We need to do as much as we can, to protect the environment and save ourselves from an increased risk of natural calamities like flash floods and environmental issues like global warming.
2. To avoid the complete depletion of resources: Natural resources are not unlimited. The chances of running out of resources is extremely high. For instance, there will be an acute shortage of water and fossil fuels in the near future. Hence we need to use them sensibly. Sustainable development creates a model wherein resources are used, but in a manner that ensures abundant availability for later years.
3. To provide long term employment: One of the main aspects of sustainable development is to provide job opportunities to the local communities, to help them progress. Since it is 'sustainable' development, the projects do not end quickly. So, the development is not short term. Instead, it helps the entire region progress over many many years.
