Without having to make concessions to the requirements of the next generation, sustainable development ensures that the needs of the present generation are met. It encourages an eco critical view of natural resources and stops or lessens their depletion. Concern for the environment is encouraged by the discipline of sustainable development. The necessity to learn about sustainable development has become extremely important due to the diminishing number of natural resources, which are primarily caused by anthropogenic activity. It calls for methodical planning of economic growth which ensures the least amount of strain on the depleting environmental resources, thereby expanding its fields of specialisation and employability.

The goal of sustainable development is to find new ways to fully use the Earth’s natural resources while concentrating on resolving ecological, biodiversity, and conservation related problems. The study plan examines the many approaches and steps that can be done to safeguard nature against unsustainable activity.
