Question

why sustainable development is becoming so important

Answer 1

The goal of sustainable development is to meet the needs of today, without compromising the needs of tomorrow.

This means we cannot continue using current levels of resources as this will not leave enough for future generations.

Stabilising and reducing carbon emissions is key to living within environmental limits. The SDU believes that operating within the right economic, social AND environmental boundaries will create a truly sustainable health system, one that is fit for the future.

Sustainable development is often partnered with good corporate citizenship. This means that organisations in the health system can use their corporate powers and resources in ways that benefit rather than damage the economic, social and physical environment in which we live.

Answer 2

Sustainable development is a development that fulfils present need without harming the environment as well as conserving the resources for future generation.
This development is becoming important because we have limited stock of minerals like coal, petroleum etc. And this development helps to do judicious use of these minerals..

People are exploiting resources to fulfil their present need which causes environmental degradation.
Sustainable development emphasises on quality life as well as it provide long term solution to many problems like non availability of resources to our future generation as well as environmental degradation.
