Introduction and statement of the problem
Sustainable development is an innovative term but has a long history. Sustainable
development is the mode to endorse economic growth, rational exploitation of the resources
and environmental defence. The sustainable development is real not just a topic and theory. It
gratifies the need of the present without negotiating the proficiency of future generations. It
confirms the equilibrium between economic growth, care for the atmosphere and social
security. There are various challenges which are confronted by humanity like climate change,
inequality, water scarcity, and hunger. Such challenges can only be resolute at a worldwide
level by endorsing sustainable development (Carley and Christie, 2017). The sustainable
development is a obligation to social progress, environmental balance, and economic
development.
Limitation of the study
The limitation of this study is that sustainable development is undertaken more as a topic and
theory. It is required to be undertaken as real in daily life. Sustainable development should be
considered as the most urgent priority.
Methodology
One type of tool is used for gathering the authentic data towards the research study which is
secondary data collection tool. The secondary data has been gathered by several agencies. It
has a great role in supporting the completion of the research’s aims and objectives. The
secondary data is defined as the earlier published data or the prevailing information which
can be accessed by using various sources like books, journals, articles, government reports,
authentic websites, and magazines.
The secondary data is exercised by the research scholar in conducting the research in an
efficient way. This way, secondary data collection is profitable for attaining comprehensive
knowledge regarding theoretical information concerning research dilemma. As secondary
data can be united by using several sources like journals, website, books and academic
publication. Therefore this tool of gathering information is important for improving the
authenticity and appositeness of the research outcomes.

Literature review
The outcome of the UN conference entitled sustainable development as the future wanted.
The sustainable development goals are set for the appropriate actions to be taken. According
to Broman, and Robèrt, 2017, the greatest challenge to be faced on the global level is the
eradication of the poverty and defence of the globe’s life-support system. These should be
given priority as sustainable developmental goals. The extension of the millennium
developmental goals is not sufficient as humans are transmuting the planet in such a way that
it could destabilize the development gains. The poverty eradication is the essential
requirement for sustainable development. It is the objective of the sustainable development to
manage the natural resources, change unjustifiable and manage the sustainable outlines of the
ingestion and production and eradicate poverty. The planet earth and ecologies are reaffirmed
as the home and mother earth is considered as a common appearance in the several regions
and nations (Nilsson, Griggs, and Visbeck, 2016). Here are some countries which
comprehend the privileges of nature in the framework of the elevation of sustainable
development. It is obligatory to attain an equilibrium between the economic, social and
environmental requirements of the contemporary and future generations. The sustainable
development works on 3 pillars, economic, social and environmental. It is required to
promote harmony with nature. The natural and cultural diversity contributes to sustainable
development. The sustainable development goals are to end poverty, hunger and attain food
security, improved nutrition along with promoting sustainable culture. The sustainable
development confirms healthy lives and promotes the security of all the ages. The equal
quality education is also ensured and lifelong opportunities are ensured for all (Hopwood,
Mellor and O'Brien, 2005).
The constant functioning of the earth comprises the oceans, forests, atmosphere,
watercourses, forests, biodiversity and biological cycles. All these are essential for the
prosperous worldwide society. As the human's population fixed to advance to nine billion by
2050 so the definition of sustainable development should be reviewed in order to comprise
the safety of the people and planet. According to Rodríguez, et al. 2016, it is challenging to
set sustainable development aims especially when there can be a conflict between the distinct
groups like energy provision and climate change deterrence. An incorporated framework is
the set of 6 sustainable development goals from uniting the epoch development goals with
circumstances essential to the permanency of the earth systems (Hopkins, 2017).
