What is Sustainability?
Sustainability has often been defined as how biological systems endure and remain diverse and productive. But, the 21st-century definition of sustainability goes far beyond these narrow parameters. Today, it refers to the need to develop the sustainable models necessary for both the human race and planet Earth to survive.
sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the well-being of future generations.

Introducing the SDGsThe Sustainable Development
Goals
17 GOALS
The SDGs are …
➤ A set of 17 goals for the world’s future, through 2030➤ Backed up by a set of 169 detailed Targets➤ Negotiated over a two-year period at the United Nations➤ Agreed to by nearly all the world’s nations, on 25 Sept 2015
What is new and different about the 17 SDGs?
First, and most important, these Goals apply to every nation … and every sector. Cities, businesses, schools, organizations, all are challenged to act. This is called
Universality
Second, it is recognized that the Goals are all inter-connected, in a system. We cannot aim to achieve just
one Goal. We must achieve them all. This is called
Integration
And finally, it is widely recognized that achieving these Goals involves making very big, fundamental changes in
how we live on Earth. This is called
Transformation
Let’s take a tour …
#1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere
#2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
#2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
#3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
#4: Ensure inclusive and
quality education for
all and promote lifelong
learning
#5: Achieve gender equality and empower women and girls
#6: Ensure access to water and sanitation for all
#7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
#8: Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all
#9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
#10: Reduce inequality within and among countries
#11: Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
#12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
#13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts*

#15: Sustainably manage forests, combat
desertification, halt and reverse land degradation,
halt biodiversity loss
#16: Promote just, peaceful
and inclusive societies

FOOD, RESOURCE & LIVELIHOOD
Indian agriculture production systems are pre-dominantly small scale, resources scarce & face tremendous pressure in terms of livelihood dependence and cater to the food and nutrition needs of the entire population.
Advances in agricultural science and technology have contributed to remarkable increases in food production since the mid-twentieth century.
Water management is another major challenge. Agriculture accounts for 70 per cent of all water taken from aquifers, streams, rivers and lakes. To meet projected demands, the efficiency of water use (crop produced 'per drop') will need to improve in both irrigated and rained zones.
Use of organic food
Sustainable Social Housing
Housing is primarily an energy and resource intensive sector. There is an imperative growing demand to find sustainable housing solution that will not lead to a disproportionate increase in carbon emissions and resources
use due to production, transportation and disposal of materials.
Implementing green practices into your home or office can help reduce waste, conserve natural resources, improve both air and water quality, and protect ecosystems and biodiversity.
Green systems and materials reduce energy consumption, which in turn reduce your energy bills. They also increase asset value and profits and decrease marketing time; making your dollar go further for longer.
Green building isn't just good for the environment; it's also good for YOU. Sustainable design and technology enhance a resident's overall quality of life by improving air and water quality and reducing noise pollution.
Climate Change & WASH
Climate change is already causing erratic weather events across the world. Prime hazards for the water, sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) sector would be experienced through erratic weather events, increased frequency of droughts, flash floods and heat waves.
Its impact will adversely affect quality & availability of drinking water, critical infrastructure and hygiene & sanitation service.
Government plan should be strengthen Increase resilience in children and women Proper education about hazards and environmental degradation Use of natural resources and limiting the use of petroleum, polythene bags. Lessen the carbon foot print Strategic Industrialization Proper utilization of land and its resources

When you consider using solar solution as a replacement for mains electrical supply, it is important to know the differences and capabilities of solar power systems compared to mains or grid-fed electricity.
