INTRODUCTION
Development and environment are interrelatedto each other. Improper or uncontrolled development is likely to
cause adverse impacts on the environment, and environmental degradation may become a major
obstacle for social and economic development.
The interrelationship between development and
environment has been observed throughout theworld, especially in fast-developing countriessuch as Japan, India, South Korea, China, andThailand .

GLOBAL WARMING- GREENHOUSE
EFFECT
The thin layer of atmosphere is being thickened by global warmingpollution(greenhouse gasses) As a result, more of the outgoing infrared is being trapped and hence heats up the
atmosphere

As the ocean temp. increases, moisture as well as wind velocityalso increases.
Thereby leading to stronger storms ,hurricanes, typhoon andother natural calamities

EFFECT OF ENVIRONMENTAL
POLLUTION ON DEVELOPMENT
Water pollution has reduced availability of fresh water,killed fishes and damaged crops.
Chemical pollution has threatened public health andaffected the quality of a variety of agricultural products,
meats, seafoods, fruits, and vegetables. The tourist industry is also affected because of
environmental pollution at tourist attractions.
The annual economic cost of environmental degradation
is quite stunning which can be illustrated in terms ofincome loss as a result of environmental pollution . (foreg.) In the case of china, this quantity is 19 % of chinastotal income.

ENVIRONMENTAL KUZNETS CURVE
The EKC hypothesis contends thatpollution increases initially as a countrydevelops its industry and thereafterdeclines after reaching a certain levelof economic progress.
REASONSThe turning point for pollution is the result of more progressive communities
placing greater value on the cleaner environment . Mature companies invest in pollution abatement equipment and technology,which reduces pollution.

CRITICS OF [EKC]
Critics of the Kuznets Curve theory argue that itsU-shape comes not from progression in thedevelopment, but rather from historical
differences between countries.(for eg.) latinamerica (high levels of inequality).
East asian miracle- also violated Kuznets theorywhich stated that rapid capital accumulation
would lead to an initial increase in inequality. Buthere in this case the income distribution wasequal Because of good political and economicpolicies.

What do we mean by sustainability?
Its a method of harvesting or using aresource so that the resource is not
depleted or permanently damaged meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their ownneeds.

In todays world, development is exploiting the
worlds natural resource reserves at alarmingrates.
By many accounts, this exploitation is
unsustainable.
For Eg.- the use of fresh water outstrips naturalreplenishment , a quarter of worlds mammalsare in danger of extinction ,cultural languagesare also disappearing & at rates faster thandisappearance of living species.
In other words, we are to understand therelational consequence of our actions.

What do we mean by sustainable
development?
Sustainable development is a socio-ecologicalprocess characterized by the fulfillment ofhuman needs while maintaining the quality ofthe natural environment indefinitely.
The ideas of sustainable development offerdirection for societys progress, in a context thatis less destructive socially and environmentally.

The vagueness of SD is often
deplored
There are different ideas of what sustainabledevelopment amounts to for actors in various sectors(e.g., energy, transport, agriculture, food systems, wastemanagement);
Gree rev point
new developments bring new risks that cannot beanticipated;
it involves trade-off decisions on highly contested issues
that cause dilemmas the term sustainable development , while
institutionalized in usage , is not receiving themainstream attention that was envisioned.

Move from a view that it is the state alonewhich is responsible for developmenttowards one that sees responsibility withsociety as a whole.
Move from a dependence on externalassistance towards domestically-driven andfinanced development.

Energy
a projected 57% increase in world energy consumptionover the next 20 years risks impacting heavily on theenvironment.
The challenge for energy policy is that of reducing theenvironmental costs of energy production and use, whileextending access to basic energy services (such asrefrigeration, heating and lighting)
A coherent strategy to meet these goals will includemeasures to reduce energy demand (through economicand other instruments), to develop renewable energy, toincrease the efficiency of existing energy sources, and to
transfer cleaner technologies to developing countries.
8/2/2019 Environment & Devlopment
26/47
Transport
Transport contributes to economicgrowth and tomeeting social needs for access and mobility. But italso contributes to environmental degradation,
Measures to be taken are :
shifts of demand for new vehicles towards more fuelefficient ones (e.g. through fiscal incentives);
greater competition in transport operations, so as toincrease productivity and reduce energyconsumption and emissions.

27/47
Agriculture
Past growth in agricultural production countries has beenachieved with fewer workers and less land, but using morewater, chemicals and machinery. This has led to increasedpollution and natural resource use, greater homogenizationof the landscape, and destruction of wildlife habitat.
Enhancing the contribution of agriculture to sustainability and meeting a projected 80% increase in global nutritionalrequirements, with food of ever-increasing safety, by 2050 will require greater trade liberalization and shiftingtowards programmes which are conditional on meetingstandards for environmental performance.

Reform also requires:
(i) increased use of pollution charges, to correctenvironmental damage caused by agriculture;
(ii) the creation of markets to compensate farmers for theextra costs incurred when providing essential public goods(such as conservation of biodiversity and habitats);
(iii) the strengthening of the agricultural knowledgesystem, to encourage farmers to adopt sustainablemethods.

Reforms are needed at the
international level Many of the most pressing challenges facing todays societies are
global.
The importance of more effective international co-operation in
addressing these challenges is especially important asglobalization is often perceived as a major threat tosustainability.
The immediate environmental and social consequence ofglobalization may at times be negative, such as when export
opportunities or foreign enterprises are responsible for theunsustainable exploitation of open-access resources such asforests. But, in these cases the best option is in general tostrengthen environmental and social safeguards rather than tolimit globalization per se.

Many types of policies such as theelimination of subsidies that are both trade-distorting and environmentally damaging
can lead to win-win outcomes. In China, forexample, a reduction in subsidy rates for coalfrom 64% in 1984 to 11% in 1995 contributedto a 30% decline in the energy intensity of the
economy, better economic performance ofcoal mines, lower government spending andreductions in CO2 emissions.

A large number of poorer countries have failed to benefit fromglobalization. OECD countries can help developing countriesavail themselves of the opportunities of globalization and to
achieve sustainable development domestically in a variety ofways:
(i) by increased access to needed investment flows and markets,for example reducing tariff peaks and escalation that especially
limit access of processed products from developing countries

The rapid growing population and economicdevelopment is leading to a numberof environmental issues in India because of theuncontrolled growth of urbanization andindustrialization, expansion and massiveintensification of agriculture, and the destruction offorests.
India having 18% of the world's population on 2.4%
of world's total area has greatly increased thepressure on its natural resources. Water shortages,soil exhaustion and erosion, deforestation, air andwater pollution afflicts many areas.

Government of India established a Commissionfor Additional Sources of Energy (CASE) in theDepartment of Science and Technology, in 1981.
The mandate of CASE is to promote researchand development activities in the field ofrenewable energy. CASE was formallyincorporated in 1982, in the newly createdDepartment of Non-conventional Energy
Sources (DNES). In 1992 DNES became the Ministry for Non-
conventional Energy Sources, commonly knownas MNES.

CHIPKO MOVEMENT
The first Chipko action took place spontaneouslyin 1973 and over the next five years spread tomany districts of the Himalaya in Uttar Pradesh.
The villagers hugged the trees and saved themby putting there bodies on the way ofcontractors axes.
After some time in Uttaranchal and HimachalPradesh it had been lifted again in 2004.
The movement spread to Himachal Pradesh inthe north, Karnataka in the south, Rajasthan inthe west, Bihar in the east and to the Vindhyansin central India.

Narmada bachao Andolan
Government's plan is to build 30 large, 135medium and 3000 small dams to harness thewaters of the Narmada and its tributaries
.This plan would provide large amounts ofwater and electricity which are desperatelyrequired for the purposes of development .
The dam will affect many people who areliving there and will force them to migrate.
