"Eco-Sustainability: Driving Sustainable Development Forward"

Abstract

Without embracing environmental sustainability (ES), the global concept of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) cannot be fulfilled today. As a crucial part of SDGs, ES can help nations fulfil Agenda 2030. The world, and developing countries in particular, are currently dealing with a number of environmental problems, including carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, hazardous pollution, climate change, global warming, floods, droughts, deforestation, excessive and insufficient rainfall, shortages of food, water, and other natural resources, misuse and overuse of natural resources, and biodiversity loss. All of these factors cause irreparable harm to our natural ecosystem and have a major detrimental impact. According to our research, unsustainable socioeconomic expansion is causing environmental degradation to worsen internationally. In this study, we look at how the aforementioned environmental issues still exist in many nations worldwide, even though the UN has taken significant steps to involve member nations in defending the planet. According to our research, careless human behaviour mostly obstructs the advancement of sustainable development, which is vital for both present and future generations. This article makes the case that in order to support comprehensive, sustainable development, all nations must adopt the environmental sustainability strategy.
