Population, Energy and Biodiversity Under Sustainable Development

Population growth and its implications are at the heart of the concept of sustainable development which is defined as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs." A globalised economy requires states and government to follow internationally accepted governance principles which focuses on creation of a strong civil society. Energy is the vital force powering business, manufacturing and the transportation of goods and services to serve the Indian and world economies.
