Sustainable Development

Sustainable development is finding better ways for doing right things for both future and present. We might need to change the way we work and live now, but this doesn't mean that you should reduce the quality of your life. A sustainable development approach can bring many benefits in the short to medium term, for example: Savings - As a result of SDC scrutiny, government has saved over £60m by improving efficiency across its estate. Health & Transport - Instead of driving, switching to walking or cycling for short journeys will save you money, improve your health and is often just as quick and convenient. Sustainable development provides an approach to making better decisions on the issues that affect all of our lives. By incorporating health plans into the planning of new communities, for instance, we can ensure that residents have easy access to healthcare and leisure facilities. Sustainable development focuses on development and growth of everyone without harming the society. Investment and an equal distribution of the economic resources will strengthen the other pillars of sustainability for a complete development. Many of the challenges facing humankind, such as climate change, water scarcity, inequality and hunger, can only be resolved at a global level and by promoting sustainable development. We are already seeing the damage this kind of approach can cause, from large-scale financial crises caused by irresponsible banking, to changes in global climate resulting from our dependence on fossil fuel-based energy sources. Even though United States has a lot of sustainability. India is also catching up to this sustainable development.
