Q.8. What do you mean by sustainable development? [2]
Answer
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, balancing economic growth, social equity, and environmental protection together rather than pursuing any one of these three dimensions at the expense of the others - in the energy sector, this principle underlies the push toward renewable, low-emission generation sources that can meet growing energy demand without depleting finite resources or causing irreversible environmental harm.
