Without environmental sustainability, economic stability and social cohesion cannot be achieved. Discuss!

Solution

Environmentallists have used the term \'sustainability\' in an attempt to clarify the desired balance between economic growth on the one hand and environmental preservation on the other. Sustainable development is the development, which will allow all future generations to have a potential average quality of life, that is, at least as high, which is being enjoyed by the current generation.

Environmental sustainability aims to ensure:

1) To prevent further damage to our life-support systems.

2) To conserve and nurture the biodiversity and other resources for long-term food security.

3) sustainable and equitable use of resources, to meet the needs of present and future generations, without causing damage to environment.

Therefore, it is very clear that without the concept of environmental sustainability, economic stability and social cohesion cannot be achieved.
