ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEM MANAGEMENT1
The Environment System Management has been developed for encouraging a better
lifestyle to lead a healthy life. Every component of the environment is dependent on the
environment for better living. Environment management is the way of maintaining and
protection of the environment that has been diversely affected by human beings. The
environmental system management has been implemented for the protection of the diverse
effect on the environment and prevents the increase of the harmful substances in the
environment. The environmental management system looks after the land, air, and water and
ensures it is protected (Cary and Roberts 2011). Environment system management provides
diverse ways of sustainability that help in changing the condition of the environment. In the
sustainability development, there have been various researches done to protect the
environment and create a diverse change in the environment. The paper focuses on the topic
of- What is the role of sustainable development in the improvement of the environment
and if it has been effective?
Sustainable development is the development that helps in the meeting of the need of
the present without affecting the need for the future or utilizing minimum natural resources as
required and find ways of protecting it. Sustainable development ensures that there is an
increase in the economy of the country establishing various ways of income along with
saving the environment from the adverse effect of human beings. Sustainable development is
the only way to stop the adverse effect on the environment. Sustainability is a positive aspect
that can help in saving nature in the future. The increase in the population is one of the global
issues that more or less every country is suffering from. It is the reason that sustainable
development has been extensively required (Notarnicola et al. 2017). The prime reason for
the depletion of natural resources and the excessive rise in pollution is population growth.
The threat to biodiversity, the strain on the forest and the increase in pollution are some of the
reasons for population growth.

ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEM MANAGEMENT2
Population growth has been adversely affecting the environment in ways as mentioned
below. Firstly, an increase in the population has an increase in the production of waste, which
makes the right disposal of waste necessary. There is hardly any right disposal of waste,
which increases the waste and contaminates the river water, land and air. Secondly, it is a
threat to the environment. The destructive activity of human beings, man has been
continuously extracting minerals and natural resources from the environment. There is a rise
in the hunting and poaching of animals decreasing the number of species creating an
imbalance in the environment. Thirdly, an increase in the population increases the need for
land to accommodate, which leads to deforestation of forests (Waters 2013). Trees are cut
down for fuel, furniture, paper as well as for lumber for building materials. Trees are also cut
down for building highways. Hence, an increase in the population has been diversely
affecting the environment especially the trees. Fourthly, the rapid growth of the population
leads to urbanization that has been affecting the environment adversely. The increase in
demand due to the population has increased in the pressure on the natural resources depleting
the natural resources in the cities.
Land degradation is a global issue that has been brought into notice in recent times.
Excessive use of fertilizers and chemicals is a reason for soil degradation. Irrigation is
another reason for soil degradation. Intensive farming caused the exploitation of soil.
Moreover, excessive use of fertilizers contaminates the groundwater as well. The chemicals
and fertilizers penetrate the soil to the groundwater contaminating the groundwater level. An
increase in the population increases the growth of transportation, which increases the use of
natural resources as well as increases the level of CO2 in the environment increasing various
diseases and problems for the environment. The development of ports and harbors will lead
to oil spills from ships affecting the aquatic life, coral reefs, and landscape (Lewandowska
2011). Cutting down trees also leads to an increase in the global temperature decreasing the
