What is Sustainable Development?
Basically, Sustainable development is all about maintaining the balance between the requirements of today’s generation by keeping in mind the future generation’s survival whether it is economical, environmental, or social.
United Nations has also set 17 goals for all countries that need to be achieved by 2030 to tackle every major challenge that is rising due to the increase in population, climate change, inequality and much more.
