SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND HUMAN UNDERSTANDING

Abstract

Sustainable Development as Britannica says is a holistic approach to social, economic and environmental planning that attempts to balance the social and economic needs of the present and future human generations with the imperative of preserving or preventing the nature. In other words the paradigm of Sustainable Development emphasises upon the development of human behaviour and actions. The augmentation of proper human understanding of Sustainable Development dates back to the days of the fifteenth century European Renaissance when Petrarch said about Humanism. The Renaissance included an intellectual movement known as Humanism.In the present times Sustainable Development as an approach to growth where human development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
