Environment and sustainable development

Abstract

The environment includes all natural and human-made elements that surround human life and influence its development. Today, rapid population growth, industrialization, and the overexploitation of natural resources have placed significant pressure on ecosystems. These pressures have led to major environmental challenges such as climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss, and the depletion of natural resources. Sustainable development has emerged as a global response to these challenges. It aims to balance economic growth, environmental protection, and social well-being in order to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This course will explore current environmental issues, the principles of sustainable development, and strategies for building a more sustainable and responsible future
