Sustainable development aims to balance economic, social, and environmental aspects of human activity. It seeks to meet current needs without compromising future generations by preserving natural resources and ecosystems. The three types of sustainable development are environmental, economic, and social. Sustainable development is important because the rising global population will increase demands for basic needs like food, water, and shelter, as well as city development. It can also help control climate change through lower fossil fuel use and create more financially stable economies.

Conceptofsustainable development Sustainable development is maintaining a delicate balance between the human need to improve lifestyles and feeling of well-being on one hand, and preserving natural resources and ecosystems, on which we and future generations depend.

- 3. The aim of sustainable development The aim of sustainable development is to define viable schemes combining the economic, social, and environmental aspects of human activity. That is making sure that there is a balance between the three types of sustainable development: *Environmental sustainable development *Economic sustainable development *Social sustainable development It is Constant tussle between the Planet(environment), the People(social) and Profit(profits) The concept of sustainable development by Njobati Sylvie
- 4. Why sustainable Development is Important It's no secret that people are living longer and that the global population is on the rise. In fact, the United Nations projects that there will be more that 10 billion people living on the Earth by the year 2100. This explosion in population is perhaps one of the greatest reasons why sustainable development is so important. Provide Basic Human Needs(social) A rising population will also make use of the bare essentials of life such as food, water, and shelter. Agricultural Necessity Agriculture will have to catch up with that growing population as well, figuring out ways to feed around 3 billion more people than it currently does Accommodate City Development(social) As populations rise, cities will need to become larger to accommodate the influx of new residents. Control Climate Change Climate change is another issue that can be at least partially remedied through sustainable development. Sustainable development practices would mandate a lower use of fossil fuels, which are not sustainable and which produce greenhouse gases. The concept of sustainable development by Njobati Sylvie
- 5. Provide Financial Stability(economic) Sustainable development can also produce more financially sustainable economies throughout the world. Sustain Biodiversity(Environmental) Biodiversity suffers through overconsumption and unsustainable development practices. For example, if unsustainable agricultural practices are used in regard to pesticides, bees and other pollinators could be negatively impacted. Without bees, at least 19 major food crops would suffer and nearly 50% of the food in most grocery stores would be non-existent. Technology: we are living in a world where almost everything is done technologically. We need sustainable development in managing these resources through recycling and other methods The concept of sustainable development by Njobati Sylvie
