Environmental impact of Social,

Economic & Industrial activities

Atmosphere accumulated alarmingly highlevel of harmful chemical like CO2, CFC’s

& pesticides Presence of chemicals in natural resources( tree, soil, water bodies) led to – Biotoxinsand Organchlorines reaching human body.

Depletion of irrecoverable natural

resources and increasing pollution levelare price paid for Industrial & Economic

development

Instances when companies profiteering byblatantly misusing natural resources,environmental protectionists protest



HISTORY

In 1972: Concept behind SD 1st mentioned in book “ The Limits to growth” by Denis

while protecting, sustaining & enhancing the human & natural

resources that will be needed in future.”

During 1972 and late 1980s-One of the 1

st

serious effort towards SD in corporatesector; undertaken by petroleum companies in US.



In 1987: WCED gave most widely used definition of SD :-

“ SD seeks to meet the needs & aspiration of present without compromising the ability to meet those of future .”

WCED identified 8 key issues to ensure that development was sustainable

– Population & human resources; Energy, Food security, Urban challenge,

Species & ecosystem, Industry & conflict, Managing the commons and Environmental degradation

Three areas to be focused : -
