Shruti Mishra · Accepted Answer

Dear Student,
Economic development, which aimed at increasing the production of
goods and services to meet the needs of a rising population, puts
greater pressure on the environment In the initial stages of
development, the demand for environmental resources was less than
that of supply Now the world is faced with increased demand for
environmental resources but their supply is limited due to overuse
and misuse Sustainable development aims at promoting the kind of
development that minimises environmental problems and meets the
needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of
the future generation to meet their own needs
