              Need of balance between Development and Safety of Environment

Environment and Development Assignment discusses what steps are taken by varioius countries in order to  achieve sustainable development. In the globalisation era countries are growing at a very fast rate. Countries  are making efforts to ensure the growth in terms of economic status, technological growth, growth in  infrastructure and development is going on at a fast race. These developments come with lot of environmental  issues which affects the environment adversely. Hence environment problems arisen due to development  initiative is hindered by the environment issues like lack of natural resources, fragile ecological environment  and the inadequate environmental capacity are all major issues which are hindering development of the  countries. Now with focus on the more and more development governments of various countries will now  have to focus on maintenance of a healthy environment for achieving long term development motive since without environment, development can’t exist. After some of the devastating impacts of environmental balances  countries are looking forward to maintain a balance between environment and the development. So the  steps they are taking include special preventive measures, comprehensive control and strengthening their  legal system of environment protection. With these efforts the balance is striking between environment and  development as the scarce natural resources are saved and environmental pollution has been controlled up  to large extent due to these initiatives. With the formation of international environment committee which  ensures the healthy environment worldwide with lying down strict rules and regulations which have to be  abide by industries within nations so as to make the planet a better place to live. World environment safety  organisation is which is also a very important part of the overall environment safety has also laid down  certain restrictions on member countries to use the healthy practice into their development programs so that minimum environment destruction can be ensured. The impacts of bad environment are not limited to problems  like green house effect but impacts are Multifoods like health impacts (like weather related mortalities,  infectious diseases, air quality respiratory illnesses), agricultural impacts (e.g. crop yield and imgation demands), forest impacts (Change in forest composition, shift geographic range of forests and forest health and  productivity), water resources impact (change in water supply, water quality, increased competition for  water), impact on coastal areas (erosion of beaches, inundate coastal lands and costs to defend coastal  communities) and species and natural areas (shift in ecological zones and loss of habitual and species). The  2030 agenda intertwines goals for human development and environmental protection. An expert panel  explains how the two sectors can work together:

1. Think of environment and development as one sector.
2. Develop trust
3. Use the SDGs as a checklist
4. Create financial incentives
5. Support social entrepreneurs
6. Educate children about sustainability
7. Monitor industrial developments continually
8. Host cross-sectoral events
9. Harness natural resources
10. Promote context-specific technology
11. Tie funding to joint development and environmental outcomes
12. Promote the links between environment and sustainable development & many more.......

Countries around the world are putting their best efforts to make developments, and these development  efforts are somewhere causing harm to the environment. Due to this environment is deteriorating in form of  ozone layer depletion, water pollution, air pollution, imbalance in ocean ecology and other phenomenon.  Hence every country needs to ensure the environmental safety along with their development programmes.  Since environment safety is more important than better development in nations. Countries around the world needs to combat the environmental problems by taking simultaneous efforts by putting restrictions on industries  and controlling nuclear programme which are causing environment deterioration by harmful gas emission.  Hence international organisations like UN organisation for environment safety need to work more closely with all nations to ensure a healthy nation.
