Environment consists of the resources and conditions that nature provides to human.
Natural environment consists of all the living and non-living things.
Ecosystem is a system which consists of all plants, animals and humans who are dependent on each
other.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call of action with the aim to end poverty,
protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
Resources that the nature has provided are utilised by human beings for the purpose of survival and
welfare.
With globalisation and population growth accelerating resource depletion, it's imperative to adopt
eco-friendly practices and technologies.
Some initiatives taken by the government in order to achieve SGD goals are Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan
Yojana (PMJDY), Mid-Day Meal Scheme, Ayushman Bharat, Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan, Beti Bachao Beti
Padhao, etc.
A sustainable process is a way of doing things that meets our needs today without harming the
environment or depleting resources for future generations.
