Abstract
Sustainable development is an organising principle that aims to meet human development goals while also enabling natural systems to provide necessary natural resources and ecosystem services to humans. The term sustainable development comes from the word sustainable, which refers to the state of being sustainable. The end goal is to create a society in which living circumstances and resources can satisfactorily fulfil human needs without jeopardising the integrity of the natural system or its capacity for stability on the planet. The Brundtland Report, which was published in 1987, provided the definition of sustainable development as follows: development that satisfies the demands of the current generation without compromising the capacity of future generations to satisfy their own needs. In today's world, the idea of sustainable development places an emphasis not only on economic growth and social development but also on the conservation of the environment for future generations. The Rio Process, which was the first formal attempt to institutionalise sustainable development, was launched during the Earth Summit that was held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) established the Sustainable Development Objectives (2015 to 2030) in 2015 and outlined how the goals are linked and indivisible to achieve sustainable development on a global basis. These goals were set to run from 2015 to 2030. The United Nations General Assembly has set a number of objectives to address global issues such as poverty, inequality, climate change, the destruction of the environment, as well as justice and peace.
