Sustainable development framework in India
To achieve true sustainability, we must strike a balance between economic, social, and environmental factors. These can be summed up as follows:
- Environmental Sustainability:- Living within the limits of our natural resources is what environmental sustainability entails. To live in real environmental sustainability, we must ensure that we consume our natural resources at a rate that is sustainable, such as materials, energy fuels, land, water, and so on. Some resources are more plentiful than others, therefore we must examine material scarcity, environmental impact from extraction, and if the resource can be retained within Circular Economy principles. Environmental sustainability should not be mistaken with comprehensive sustainability, which requires the consideration of economic and social elements as well.
- Economic Persistence :- Economic sustainability necessitates a business or country’s efficient and responsible use of resources in order to operate in a sustainable manner and constantly earn a profit. A company’s operations cannot be sustained without an operating profit. A company’s activities will not be able to be sustained in the long run if it does not act properly and use its resources efficiently.
- Social Sustainability:- The ability of a society or a social system to maintain a high level of social well-being across time is referred to as social sustainability. The goal of achieving social sustainability is to ensure that a country’s, organization’s, or community’s social well-being can be sustained throughout time. If we only achieve two of the three pillars of sustainability, we end up with:
- Social + Economic Sustainability = Equitable
- Social + Environmental Sustainability = Bearable
- Economic + Environmental Sustainability = Viable
Only through balancing economic + social + environmental can we achieve true sustainability and a truly circular economy.
