There is growing concern that continued expansion of the world economy will cause irreparable damage to the earth’s environment and a reduced quality of life for future generations. This fear rests on two intuitive notions: first, that more output requires more inputs and so the earth’s ‘sources inevitably will , earth’s ‘ and so the depleted by continued growth of production and consumption, and second that more output means more emissions and waste, and so the earth’s ‘sinks’ inevitably will become overburdened by continued economic growth. Sustainable development is often defining as development that meets their needs of present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The paper conclude that a transition to a sustainable way of life means taking steps now to reduce the risk of serious environmental damage and related socio-economic problems. The paper found that basic research on many of the critical thresholds beyond which damage to individual species in an ecosystem will occur is poorly understand. The paper note that more research will be needed to provide greater precision to the relationships between economic policies and sustainable development. In highlighting a number of the crucial linkage indicates thebreadth and significance of the economy-wide dimension to environmental management. The paper finding, that the researcher has seen that sustainable development has come to the top of the international and domestic policy agendas. However, while the notion of sustainability is widely accepted, its precise content has remained elusive.
