Answer 1

Answer:

Sustainable development is a need of an hour because the resources are unevenly distributed and we all are becoming infact have become dependent on resources, we are consuming our resources without thinking about the future generation. A time might come when there will be no resources left to be used.

Humanity faces decreasing ecosystem quality and increasing risk of tipping the biosphere into a state where it would be difficult or impossible to maintain the human civilization (Will Steffen, 2015), there arises a dire need for appropriate measures to ensure the judicious use of resources and make good economic choices. It becomes important to make sure that the development is taking place not at the cost of earth’s natural resources. “The world has enough resources to meet everyone’s need but not everyone’s greed.”(Angur, 2015)

To add to this, now it is also imperative that our fragile environment suffers the least damage possible. In more technical terms, “Sustainable development is the only way we can keep Mother Nature, our growth hungry economies and our very demanding present generation and future lineage happy and smiling.” (Joshi, 2008)

Sustainable development is defined by the Brundtland Commission as “development that meets the need of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.

To meet these needs sustainable development has become the need of hour.
