Objective of the
Project
The project is
with an object
to discuss the
emergence and
growth of
SustainableDev
elopment as a
concept. It also
focuses on the
present
situation of
theconcept.
Introduction
Sustainable
Development is
a modern
fashionable
phrase which is
frequentlyused
in social,
economic,
scientific, legal,
business and
political circles.
The
critics of the
phrase aver that
the term
sustainable
development
is not capable
of any precise,
succinct or
final meaning
of universal
acceptance. It
conveysdiffere
nt meanings to
different
people. An
environmentali
st would
interpret it
asample
heritage for
future
generations. A
legal scholar
would describe
it as balanced
synthesis of
environmental
and
developmental
imperatives.
Aneconomist
would view it
as economic
growth which
can be
sustained
for generations.
A businessman
might interpret
it as sustainable
profits.
Politiciansfind

in the phrase
and adopt it in
their election

inable
Development is
the process in
which
development
can be
sustainedfor
generations. It
means
improving the
quality of
human life
while at same
timeliving in
harmony with
nature and
maintaining the
carrying
capacity of the
liftsupporting
eco-system.
Development
means
increasing the
societ
ys ability to
meet human
needs.
Economic
growth is an
important
component but
cannot be agoal
in itself. The
real aim must
be to improve
the quality of
human
existence
toensure people
to enjoy long,
healthy and
fulfilling
lives.The
concept of
sustainable
development
has in the past
most often
been brokenout
into three
constituent
parts:
environmentals
ustainability,ec
onomicsustaina
bilityandsocio-
politicalsustain
ability. More
recently, it has
been
suggested that a
more consistent
analytical
breakdown is
to distinguish
four domains
of economic,
ecological,
political and
cultural
sustainability.
This
isconsistent
with the UCLG
move to make
'culture' the
fourth domain
of sustainabilit
y.Sustainable
development
focuses at
integration of
development
andenvironmen
tal imperatives.
It modifies the
previously
unqualified
developmentco
ncept. To be
sustainable,
development
must possess
both economic
andecological
sustainability.
In a nutshell,
the concept of
Sustainable
developmentin
dicates the way
in which
development
planning
should be
approached.
Brief History
The idea of
sustainability
came out of the
1972 UN
Stockholm
Conference
onthe Human
Environment,
which was the
first UN
meeting that
discussed
the preservatio
n and
enhancement
of the
environment. It
proclaimed
that,
"The protectio
n and
improvement
of the human
environment is
a major issue
whichaffects
the well-being
of peoples and
economic
development
throughout
theworld; it is
the urgent
desire of the
peoples of the
whole world
and the duty
of all
Governments."
The concept of
sustainable use
of earths
resources is an
ancient one.
Without
the principles
of
sustainability
as a way of life,
humans would
not have
survivedin the
twentieth
century. The
principle of
sustainable
development
receivedimpetu
s with the
adoption of
Stockholm
Declaration in
1972,

assistance of
