Question
Which of the following options is correct when we only
accomplish two out of three pillars of sustainable development?Solution
Solution: âSustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needsâ. It contains two key concepts: â˘Â           the concept of âneedsâ, in particular the essential needs of the worldâs poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and â˘Â           the idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environmentâs ability to meet present and future needs. This definition was met with some controversy, specifically the part about solving the global poverty problem and the âoverriding priorityâ it had over the other issues. People argued that environmental sustainability should be priority number one. Because if the environmental problem isnât solved, the other problems wonât matter due to well cataclysmic events and the end of the world as we know it.
