Answer 1

1. Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It contains within it two key concepts:the concept of 'needs,' in particular the essential needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should be given; andthe idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment's ability to meet present and future needs.

2. Thus the goals of economic and social development must be defined in terms of sustainability in all countries — developed or developing, market-oriented or centrally planned. Interpretations will vary, but must share certain general features and must flow from a consensus on the basic concept of sustainable development and on a broad strategic framework for achieving it.

3. Development involves a progressive transformation of economy and society. A development path that is sustainable in a physical sense could theoretically be pursued even in a rigid social and political setting. But physical sustainability cannot be secured unless development policies pay attention to such considerations as changes in access to resources and in the distribution of costs and benefits. Even the narrow notion of physical sustainability implies a concern for social equity between generations, a concern that must logically be extended to equity within each generation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Development has different definition for different people

Explanation:

We see development as building of sky reaching buildings or application of technology into our daily life and many more.

The actual definition of development can differ from person to person - so there is a requirement of generalizing a common term to define this abstract term.

The development of a country is calculated based on the per capita income of the country - which is the total income of a country divided by its total working population. Merely presence of resources doesn't lead to development.

We need to understand that proper delivery of basic services like Education, healthcare, infrastructure, organized labour work force are some of the important markers that can boost a country's development.

To quote an example, a child goes to school - he has all the necessary books and infrastructure as its resources but unless and until he is been provided by an educated teacher - his purpose of attending school education is meaningless.

Same goes on for complex resources.

I hope it answers your question :)
