SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
INTRODUCTION
In September 2015, the leaders of all 193 member states of the UN adopted Agenda 2030, a
universal agenda that contains the Global Goals for Sustainable Development. The 17 Goals in turn hold
169 targets and 230 indicators.
The Global Goals is the most ambitious agreement for sustainable development that world
leaders have ever made. It integrates all three aspects of sustainable development: social, economic and
environmental. For the goals to be met, everyone needs to do their part: governments, the private
sector, civil society and the general public. The Goals affect all 7 billion people on Earth and for them to
be met, it is crucial that everyone is aware of and have knowledge of them.
The term “Sustainable Development” first came to prominence in the World Conservation
Strategy (WCS) in 1980. It achieved a new status with the publication of two significant reports by
Brundant on: North and South: a program for survival and common crisis (1985) and Our Common
Future (1983) and has gained even greater attention since the United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Jenerio in June 1992.
WHAT IS Sustainability?
Sustainability is the ability to exist constantly

The name sustainability is derived from the Latin sustinere (to hold; sub, under). Sustain can
mean "maintain", "support", or "endure".
Modern use of the term sustainability is broad and difficult to define precisely. Originally,
sustainability mean making only such use of natural, renewable resources that people can continue
to rely on their yields in the long term.
WHAT IS DEVELOPMENT?
 Generally, Development is the gradual growth of a situation that becomes more advanced and
stronger than the previous one.
 Development is intended to bring a positive change for human being and its surroundings.
Development may take place by bringing out a change in policy, projects and legislation.
 Development is an unfolding of human potentials for meaningful participation in economic,
social, political and cultural process and institutions, so that people can improve their conditions.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Sustainable Development is development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Gro Harlem Brundtland first introduced the concept of sustainable development in 1987. He was
then the Prime Minister of Norway and chairman of the World Commission on Environment and
Development.

 Sustainable development is a pattern of resource use that aims to meet human needs while
preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for
future generations.
 Sustainable development ties together concern for the carrying capacity of natural systems with
the social challenges facing humanity.
AIMS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT:
 Balance our economic, environmental and social needs, allowing prosperity for now and future
generations.
 Maximizing the probability of achieving sustainable development.
 Minimizing the chances of environmental degradation.
THREE PILLARS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
1. Environmental Sustainability
 At the environmental level, sustainability prevents nature from being used as an
inexhaustible source of resources and ensures its protection and rational use.
2. Social Sustainability
 At the social level, sustainability can foster the development of people, communities and
cultures to help achieve reasonable and fairly-distributed quality of life, health care and
education across the globe.
3. Economic Sustainability
 Sustainability focuses on equal economic growth that generates wealth for all, without
harming the environment.
EVOLUTION OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT:
The Embryonic Period (Before 1972)
As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty (B.C.1100~771), the emperors realized that the
mountains, forests, and rivers should be rationally used according to the laws of nature rather than
overexploiting it. Since then, various measures have been taken to protect natural resources, such as
establishing designated management departments, enforcing state monopoly, collecting taxes in regard
to mountains and gardens, and issuing bans.
The Molding Period (1972–1987)
 The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in 1972

With the recognition that the developmental policies primarily focusing on economic growth
increased the frequency of serious environmental problems, the United Nations held a world
summit in Stockholm, Sweden in 1972. The conference was the first human environment conference
and symbolized the beginning of the SD concept.
 Publication of “Our Common Future” in 1987

In 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) drafted a report on
human development, “Our Common Future”, which was the first time to systematically stated the
definition of SD. SD was defined as “sustainable development is development that meets the needs
of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs”. The
report focused on the global situation of the population, food, species and genetic resources, energy,
industry, human habitation, etc.
The Developing Period (1987–Present)
 The 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development

In 1992, the United Nations hosted a conference, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to address environment
and development, starting the journey of SD in a global scope. The conference passed and signed
the “Rio Declaration on Environment and Development” and the “Agenda 21”.
 The United Nations Millennium Summit in 2000

In September 2000, the United Nations Millennium Summit was held at the United Nations
Headquarters in New York. The representatives of 189 countries adopted the “United Nations
Millennium Declaration”, which identified the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) with the
development and elimination of extreme poverty as the focus, including eight key areas and 21
operational targets.
 The 2012 United Nations Conference on SD

After 1992, the conflicts of interest among the economy, society, and environment became
increasingly apparent. The need to introduce the concept of cooperative governance of global
stakeholders became more crucial. Under this background, the United Nations held the “Rio+20”
Summit in 2012. The summit indicated that the green economy was the key to solve conflicts
between development and the environment. Moreover, global cooperative governance can solve
conflicts among economic, social, and environmental issues. By the end of the summit, SD expanded
from three pillars to four: economic, social, environmental, and governance.
 United Nations Sustainable Development Summit

In September 2015, more than 150 heads of state and government participated in the United
Nations Sustainable Development Summit at the United Nations headquarters in New York. The
summit assessed the implementation of MDGs and adopted “Transforming our World — the 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development” . The agenda set out the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), covering 17 focus areas and 169 specific targets
WHAT ARE THE DESIRED OUTCOMES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT?

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
What are the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? The Sustainable Development Goals, also
known as the Global Goals, are a call from the United Nations to all countries around the world to
