CONCEPT
"Sustainable development is development

that meets the needs of the present,
without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own
needs."
Core Elements of Sustainable Development
▪ Three core elements of sustainable development are economic growth, social inclusion and
environmental protection. It is crucial to harmonize them.
▪ Sustainable economic growth, achieving sustainable livelihood, living in harmony with nature
and appropriate technology are important for sustainable development.
▪ Environmental Sustainability:
◦ It prevents nature from being used as an inexhaustible source of resources and ensures its
protection and rational use.
◦ Aspects such as environmental conservation, investment in renewable energy, saving water,
supporting sustainable mobility, and innovation in sustainable construction and architecture,
contribute to achieving environmental sustainability on several fronts.
▪ Social Sustainability:
◦ It can foster gender equality, development of people, communities and cultures to help
achieve a reasonable and fairly-distributed quality of life, healthcare and education across the
Globe.
▪ Economic Sustainability:
◦ Focuses on equal economic growth that generates wealth for all, without harming the
environment.
◦ Investment and equal distribution of economic resources.
◦ Eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions.
Global issues Related to Sustainable Development
▪ Inequitable growth of national economies (North-South Divide)
▪ Loss of Biodiversity: Despite mounting efforts over the past 20 years, the loss of the world’s
biodiversity continues.
▪ Climate Change: As a global problem, climate change requires a global solution. Within climate
change, particular attention needs to be paid to the unique challenges facing developing
countries.
▪ Tackling climate change and fostering sustainable development are two mutually reinforcing
issues.
▪ Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs): There is a need for welfare for all rich and poor to have
affordable access to the results of innovation that can lead to sustainable development.
HISTORY
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in
2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the
future.
• At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action
by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership.
• They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies
that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling
climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
• The SDGs build on decades of work by countries and the UN, including the UN Department of
Economic and Social Affairs

• In June 1992, at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, more than 178 countries adopted Agenda 21, a
comprehensive plan of action to build a global partnership for sustainable development to improve human lives
and protect the environment.
• Member States unanimously adopted the Millennium Declaration at the Millennium Summit in September 2000
at UN Headquarters in New York. The Summit led to the elaboration of eight Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs) to reduce extreme poverty by 2015.
• The Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development and the Plan of Implementation, adopted at
the World Summit on Sustainable Development in South Africa in 2002, reaffirmed the global community's
commitments to poverty eradication and the environment, and built on Agenda 21 and the Millennium
Declaration by including more emphasis on multilateral partnerships.
• At the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in June 2012,
Member States adopted the outcome document "The Future We Want" in which they decided, inter alia, to
launch a process to develop a set of SDGs to build upon the MDGs and to establish the UN High-level Political
Forum on Sustainable Development. The Rio +20 outcome also contained other measures for implementing
sustainable development, including mandates for future programmes of work in development financing, small
island developing states and more.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGS): INDIA
◦ To bring sustainable development in the mainstream United Nations (UN) launched the 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development and SDGs.
◦ This universal, integrated and transformative agenda aims to spur actions that will end poverty and
build a more sustainable world over the next 15 years.
◦ There are 17 goals and 169 targets specific targets to be achieved by 2030. Reaching the goals
requires action on all fronts – governments, businesses, civil society and people everywhere all have
a role to play.
◦ SDGs are not legally binding.
