SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
--Introduction --
Sustainable development is an organizing principle that aims to meet human
development goals while also enabling natural systems to provide necessary natural
resources and ecosystem services to humans. The desired result is a society where
living conditions and resources meet human needs without undermining the planetary
integrity and stability of the natural system. Sustainable development tries to find a
balance between economic development, environmental protection, and social well-
being. The Brundtland Report in 1987 defined sustainable development as
"development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising
the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". The concept of sustainable
development nowadays has a focus on economic development, social development
and environmental protection for future generations.
--PILLERS OF SUSTAINABLE

--Fair Trade and Ethical Consumption--
Fairtrade empowers producers to safeguard the world's natural resources.
Fairtrade Standards ensure that small-scale cooperatives and plantations use
environmentally friendly farming methods, including controls on the use of
hazardous materials and no Genetically Modified Organisms.
Ethical consumption is making responsible and sustainable purchasing decisions
considering the social, economic, and environmental impact of the products and
services consumed.
The label 'fair trade' is often used to show that a product was ethically made – that
the farmers or workers behind it were treated and paid fairly. Our Ethical Markets
report showed that demand for fair trade products is on the rise. Sales of fair trade
products increased by nearly 14% between from 2019 to 2020

Financial Inclusion creates more stable financial systems and economies, mobilizes
domestic resources through national savings and helps to boost government
revenue.
The idea of financial inclusion is to ensure that everyone has access to affordable
and essential financial services within the formal financial sector. By providing
equal opportunities for people to access crucial financial services, it aims to
promote inclusion.
Financial inclusion aims to bring in digital financial solutions for the economically
underprivileged people of the nation. It also intends to bring in mobile banking or
financial services in order to reach the poorest people living in extremely remote
areas of the country.
--Social SustainabilitY--
Social sustainability occurs when the formal and informal processes; systems;
structures; and relationships actively support the capacity of current and future
generations to create healthy and livable communities.
Social sustainability is a process for creating sustainable successful places that
promote wellbeing, by understanding what people need from the places they live
and work. Social sustainability combines design of the physical realm with design
of the social world – infrastructure to support social and cultural life, social
amenities, systems for citizen engagement, and space for people and places to
evolve.
