The  concept of sustainable development  can  be interpreted
                  differently, by different people, in different situations but at its
                  core, the meaning remains the same.

                  “Sustainable  development  is the  development  that  meets  the
                  needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
                  generations to meet their own needs”.

                  Sustainable Development Goals

                  In  01 , the  eneral Assembly of  N   nited Nations  adopted
                  the 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development that includes 17
                   ustainable  evelopment  oals     s .  hese are based on the
                  principle of “Leaving none behind”, where it emphasises a holistic
                  approach to achieve SDGs.

                  The 17 SDGs were laid to transform the world into a better place
                  to live for everyone. These goals recognise that ending poverty
                  and other  deprivations  must go hand-in-hand  with strategies
                  that improve health and education, reduce ine uality, and spur
                  economic growth, all while tackling climate change and working
                  to preserve our oceans and forests.
