INTRODUCTION
Sustainable development in the environment helps in to live in positive and healthy lifestyle and
maintain the balance between human and planet(Parra, 2018). This report is based on the London
city suitable development and how the government and the citizen of the UK country involved
in maintain the balance by avoiding using of harmful resources that damage the environment and
making a strategical method to overcome the climate change affects and show the facts and
figure about the changes in the climate and ecological methods used by the citizen of London.
Whereas prpblem faced by the people due to climate, social and environmental changes.
MAIN BODY
Sustainable environment refers to balance the environment by not harming living or non-living
things and leaving the positive impact towards the environment(Alade, 2019). Due to the
environmental and social changes in the societies' sustainability has been increased in different
way. Sustainable environment is usually defined as humankind who avoid the depletion of
natural resources in order to maintain the environment healthy and greenery surroundings and
living the quality life in the society. This can be done through avoid using natural resource,
overexploitation, industries operations uses the energy cause the pollution in the environment,
consumption by the consumers of the products etc. ecosystem will keep operating in the society
until this are used in a balanced manner. London maintains the proper care of the environment
that help to operate every day and ensure to produce the enough energy in the right way and to
reduce wastage in the city to smooth balance maintained. The strategies for developing
Environmental sustainable of London city by analysis the environment factors like natural
resources, humans and economics resources were used by the consumers should be in effectively
and should be moved towards the ecological method to improve the quality of life. The
government had taken many steps to protect the environment from the hazards chemicals and
resource used by the industries. Avoiding harmful chemicals that cause harm to environment and
the human by restriction of using these resources and should opt the ecological method. The
citizen should use more of cycle and public transport and avoiding the private vehicle that cause
more air pollution in the environment by using petrol and diesel. Dumping of usage resource by
the industries can be recycled and can be used again by the industries. Land acquisition by the
citizen should be limited to there need for living and for industries that lead decrease in
deforestation. Encouraging the nuclear energy and avoiding the eclectic energy in the industries

as well as in households. Using the latest technology in the industries that cause less harm to
environment compare to tradition old technique machine. UK Government should protect the
environment effectively as the climate change in the globalization will affect the country's people
by lack of food production, drinking water, and other essential resources for living. High use of
fossil fuel like petrol and diesel cars should be avoided by the people and using natural gas like
CNG, nuclear or electric cars should be promoted in the country. London's sustainability
development should be more environment sound for the development in transportation, energy
production and usage of the wastage resource by avoiding the carbon dioxide and other harmful
gases that cause air and water pollution(Barrow, 2018). The essential facts and figure of
sustainable environment of London city.
These facts are included the following change in:
 Climate change: Due to environment risk in the global, UK and London have impact on
climate change. Natural capital are directly affected by the change in climate. Lord Stern
states in 2006 that change in climate cause lack of food production, access to water, heath
condition and environment. The temperature will rise by 2° Celsius if no action have
been taken to reduce the Emerson and green house concentration.

 Carbon Emerson in London: One of the major cause by the industries for global cause.
World bank data says that from last 50 year Global carbon dioxide Emerson have
increase Three times. Whereas London has constant stayed and fallen in recent years.

Water : The natural fundamental part of the environment, use for consumption and
sewage a by household and industry(Haines, and, et.al, 2017). London have 16 percentage of
surface water at the risk of surface water. This is been improved in last 5 years through drain
London project. London have 33 flood authority to manage and reduce the risk of flood.

 Green Infrastructure: It is a network of green space that is planned and design to healthy
living, mitigation flooding, improving quality of air and water and ecological
environment(Eizenberg, and Jabareen, 2017). London is a green city and over 47
percentage is covered by green having 8 million trees. London I-Tree - Eco give a low
cost for the environmental benefits and replacing cost of tree. The total benefit of £137
million per annum to London urban forest.
Energy: UK is the main importer of the gas and other natural fuels depend upon the
international energy supply market(Yousri, and Richter, 2019). In past records London have
fallen the total energy consumption between 2005 and 2013 which is fallen by 15.5 percent
which cause the decrease in transport sector. London consumes around 8.9 percent of total UK
consumption of the energy and the economic output is around 13.2 percent of total economy.
Due to higher development in London leads to increase in population and uses of energy is also
rises.

Decrease in the consumption level of fuels by the industries from last 5 years from 2009 to 2013.
\Social Problems: The labour working condition by creating the employment in the economy and
generating income should be balanced without affecting the human rights. Providing worker a
safety and healthy environment of the working, without using any of hazards chemicals used by
the labours in the industries and well-trained if they are using. Investor should acquire land in a
required manner for the industries. Also, the heritage cultures properties should be protected
from the damage by avoiding the harmful chemicals used.
Economical Problems: London has the huge usage of natural resources and make a major
contribution to the UK economy, and the other side population of the country increase rapidly
cause increasing in the infrastructure of the city. Harm to environment can lead decrease in the
economy of the country as high toxic chemicals should be avoided by the industries. By using
Green ecological methods in the city help the people to live in healthy lifestyle and maintain the
sustainable balance in the environment.
Environmental Problems: The environmental issues can be risen from many ways likes
Air Emerson and air quality of the city that can be occurred due to construction, operation and
from the industries, by using the energy in the power process like heating & cooling, motors
parts and lighting system industries which are used this specific process. Waste water and water
quality treated in the country like dumping used wastage, sewage system of the industries can
harm the surface water and should be taken as a prior treatment. This problem also include the
hazards material used by the industries that risk the human health and environment due their
chemical properties.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMANDATION
This report gives the impact on the sustainable development on the London city, which they have
taken and make the strategies used to develop the social, climate and environment changes and
problems occur due to this factor(Dalby, 2019). This reports shows the London city and problem
arises due the climatic changes in the environment that affect the people of the city and country.
The graphical facts and figure give the report of the country and London city that changes the
climate and avoiding the use of harmful resources and shifting to the ecological method to
balance the environment changes. Whereas, based on the conclusion on the file some
recommendation that can be used by the citizen and the Government: government should restrict
the usage of the harmful chemicals and fossil fuel and moved to ecological method that cause
less harm to the environment. Citizens should use more of public transportation instead of
private vehicle that use the fossil fuel like petrol and diesel. Waste usage can also use by
providing dumping vehicle on the street that help the citizen to dump their waste and in proper
way. Reduction in use of plastic in the market by the citizen of London which help cause harm
to environment. Other thinks like use of nuclear and electric energy should be promoted by the
government which shows proper utility of the resources and also a proper utilization of land
resource by the industry and the households by citizen of London.
