Global growth indicates the overall development of the situation for different countries. The development includes economic development, technological development, and social development. The use of emerging technologies is helping different countries to achieve more innovative solutions in different sectors. However, the present situation demands the concern about maintaining sustainability in the action of the development (Jain, Bhatia and Pathak 2014). Maintaining sustainability ensures that the development and the growth will be achieved by meeting all the requirements along with raising the opportunity for future growth. The sustainability can be achieved through economic sustainability, technological sustainability, and social sustainability (Hajjari et al. 2017). To achieve sustainability in global growth, the changes in the process of the different developing systems are needed to be done. From this concept, the innovation of green technology is invented.
The global growth is needed for a better future. However, maintaining sustainability is also an important thing for proper development. It has become a challenge to the business organizations and the policymakers to implement the steps for the growth along with maintaining sustainability (Chand, Sirohi and Sirohi 2015). It has been seen that the reconcile between sustainability, and global growth can be possible through different strategies. It has been seen that while the development of the system and the project for the global growth some of the constraints can appear those will lead to sustainability issues (Dhar and Shukla 2015). The sustainability issue highlighted in this discussion is regarding the change in the climate and the conservation of the energy. Due to the high rate of development, the changes in the changes in the climate has been noticed. Apart from that, there is a need for the conservation of energy in a current situation.
The main objective of this paper is to evaluate an outline and strategy that will develop a considerable bridge between extensive global development and the maintaining the climate and environment along with conservation of energy.
To connect the sustainability with the development of growth, the concept of sustainability is needed to be discussed in a broader perspective.
The term sustainability is defined by many of the institutions and organizations. Development can be said to be sustainable if the development meets all the requirements along with compromising the future scopes for further development. The main objective of maintaining sustainability is to reconcile the development of society with environmental limits on a long-term basis. The practice of sustainability will ensure the development of economic prosperity and meet the equity for future generations.
There are three components of maintaining environmental sustainability- environmental, social and economic.
Environmental: Environmental factor is regarding maintaining the important factors of the environment. The sustainable development will include different factors that will support the preservation of components in the environment. This supports the steps for the mitigation of the changes in the climate due to the pollution and use of renewable energy in the development of the functioning.
Social: The social attribute of maintaining sustainability ensures the participation of the stakeholders in the development process. This means that the all the person from different social hierarchy will participate in the development process and the positive result of the development will be beneficial for all the stakeholders of the society.
Economic: Maintaining the economic sustainability will ensure that the development and the growth will support the standard of the living and will be beneficial for enhancing the lifestyle of the people along with the economic situations in the long run.
There are different theories regarding sustainability.
Early Community Development model: This model is also known as the circle of influences. The factors of sustainability are treated as separate disciplines in this model. According to the United Nations community development is described as the process where the members of the community come together to take collective initiatives for the development of the environment, social and economic factors (Mehta and Karpouzoglou 2015). This community development model can be mapped into professional practices. There are different governing bodies like the International Association for Community Development to control this practice in doing the business.
With the help of the practice of sustainability through this model, business organizations and the policymakers can take different initiatives to preserve the environment and maintain the balance in the climate (Levänen et al. 2016). The organizations and the nations are taking decisions of mitigating the emission of the carbon. This joint initiative is helping to reduce the carbon emission and the level of pollution in the environment. The mitigation of pollution is a way to prevent a rapid change in climate.
With the initiative to mitigate the carbon emission, the use of renewable energy is adopted by most of the organization. The use of renewable energy is the part of green technology initiatives. Some of the most commonly used renewable energy for the business is a generation of electric from the solar energy, wind power (Saikawa et al.2017). The use of renewable energy will support energy conservation. This will bring sustainability to the environment.
The use of renewable energy and the collaborative decision regarding the mitigation of the carbon emission can be analyzed on the economic perspective. It has been seen that the use of renewable energy needs special types of equipment during the initial implementation. However, the overall cost of using renewable energy in the organization is lower than the use of non-renewable energy in the long-term. This supports economic sustainability.
Popular Sustainability theory: Popular sustainability theory tries to create the link between three factors of sustainability. The three interrelated factors are technical, economic and environmental sustainability. According to this theory, the growth could be sustainable if only if servers maintaining sustainability in all three aspects.
The mitigation of the impacts of changes in the climate and the conservation of energy can be helpful in achieving all three aspects of sustainability properly.
Ideal Scientific model: In the perfect scientific model, the sustainability has been described as the intersection of the three aspects or factors. However, the priority of each element is different from each other. In this model, the highest priority is given to the environmental factor (Patange et al. 2015). The social factor is included in the environmental factor, and the economic factor lies within the social element. This implies, to achieve the social and economic sustainability. Environmental sustainability is needed to be performed.
While the implementation of growth and development, maintaining sustainability can be a significant issue. It has been seen for supporting the viability can be achieved by the modification of approach for the event. This modification can become challenging.
Various organizations describe the identified sustainability issues regarding growth and development. However, there are differences between the approach of defining sustainability issues by different organizations (Lu et al. 2016). However, the identified sustainability issues in this context are air pollution in India. In this reference, the climate change and energy conservation are needed to be discussed.
The overall growth or development is dependent on the use of advanced technology and innovation. It has been seen during the development of the system, the significant source of energy is needed to be used. Apart from that, the use of energy is enhancing the emission of carbon dioxide (Liu et al. 2015). The discharge of carbon dioxide is strengthening the presence of greenhouse gas, and it causes air pollution and global warming. This violates environmental sustainability, and the attributes of the climate are changing rapidly.
Another sustainability issue regarding growth and development is the use of energy. The usage of energy in different forms are needed for the development purpose. In most of the cases, the use of non-renewable energy is seen. The method of non-renewable energy is not environment-friendly as it enhances the environment pollution (de Oliveira and Doll 2016). Apart from that, the sources of the non-renewable energy are limited. In this case, the extensive use of non-renewable energy can make the natural resources extinct. This extinction of the natural resources does not support the balance and the sustainability of the environment.
It has been seen that the mass industrialization and use of renewable energy are affecting the climate causing the increase of harmful components in the air.
Global growth indicates the overall increase of situation from a technological, social and economic perspective. To achieve this the innovation in the industry is essential. In the growing background of technology and innovation, the growth of the population is also going to a high level (Wood et al.2015). In this situation maintaining sustainability is essential so that the extension can provide excellent results to the existing people.
The increase in the community is a significant issue especially for developing countries like India. In this case, it is a challenge for India to develop the infrastructure and innovation maintaining the social and economic sustainability (Lee et al.2017). Apart from that protecting the environment during the growth is needed to be kept. The concerning factors in this situation are maintaining economic equilibrium, social stability, and environmental sustainability.
India is facing the problems regarding the increase in population. The growth of the population can become a different factor for achieving sustainability. In this case, the population growth needs more space for accommodations (Brauer et al. 2015). Apart from that, the concern regarding maintaining hygiene, mitigation of the pollution, improving the infrastructure for managing the quality lifestyle is needed to be done correctly. The improvement of the infrastructure like spacing for the accommodation and building the house, providing the supply of food to the people can be made sustainably. Apart from that the present lifestyle of the people needs technical innovations properly. The term of the green technology is used in the sustainable development of the technology. The use of emerging technology in a sustainable way is the objective of green technology.
The growth of the population can be adequately merged with the sustainability factor through the use of green technology, providing proper education to the society and maintaining equilibrium in the economic condition. All these factors are related to each other. For example, it can be said that the innovation using green technology will help to mitigate the emission of carbon dioxide. This will eventually improve the sustainability of the environment.
Modern civilization is gaining advantage from the advanced technology and global growth. However, the use of advanced technology is raising some of the ecological problems those are becoming constraints for maintaining sustainability. The factories and vast industrialization are damaging the environment on a larger scale, and these are affecting climate conditions and the ecological balance (Hussain, Arif and Aslam 2017). With the growing population, the mass production of the goods and services in a small period has become necessary. All these practices related to the mass production and vast industrialization are depleting the resources of Earth (Pandey, Pandey and Tripathi 2015). India is a developing country and the investment for the industry sector is changing the business situation of this country. In most of the cases, it has been seen that the organizations and the factories functioning in India are not maintaining the environmental standards.
Maintaining sustainability in this situation has become essential (Eizenberg and Jabareen 2017). To achieve sustainability in the development, the use of green technology along with using renewable resources can be taken into consideration. Apart from that the using the organic product in the farming and decreasing the usage of the plastic can be applied to maintain the environmental sustainability.
From the economic perspective, the sustainability development can face some constraints. In most of the cases, ‘sustainable growth’ and ‘sustainable development’ is said to be the same thing. However, there is some difference between these two terms from the economic perspective. Sustainable development is the overall development that meets all the requirements of the present without compromising the chances for future development.
On the other hand, sustainable growth is the development of the economic condition of the people and the country. Sustainability in financial condition is depended on the lifestyle of the people and the resource available for future growth. On the other hand, it can be said that sustainable growth is depended on sustainable development.
Social sustainability generally describes the social welfare of people of the society. However, it also involves managing both positive and negative business impact on the people of the community. It has been seen that the business practices of the organization directly or indirectly affect the welfare of people and their health. According to Debnath, Bardhan and Banerjee (2016), the social sustainability can be maintained through a good training of the business in the organization. Apart from that the work policy of the organization should be employee friendly so that it the employees in the organization can maintain proper work-life balance.
There are some of the advantages of maintaining social sustainability as it helps the organization to explore new markets (Jose 2017). This will help to enhance the global growth along with preserving viability. Through sustainable practice, the moral of the organization would be improved along with the employee engagement and the increase in productivity. One of the methods regarding social sustainability is the practice of corporate social responsibility by the business organizations.
Apart from that, it is the responsibility of the government and organization to take care of human rights. The policies are made to protect human rights and ethics while conducting the business (Wei, Ramalho and Mandin 2015). The sustainability from the social perspective can be maintained by creating decent jobs for the propel and managing human rights along with the living standards of the people. Apart from that investing to support social sustainability can be helpful for maintaining sustainability.
India is a developing country and air pollution is a major environmental issue which is becoming a significant concern for the government. The contamination of the air can be defined if the air contains the chemicals and harmful gas and agents in alarming level. In India, the sources of air pollution are the factories along with the household residents.
The alarming level of pollution in the air in India is hampering the sustainable growth of this nation. The environmental misbalance is raising the issues like the changes in climate and the nature of monsoon. Though the industry and the service sector in India are multiplying, this country is still based on the strength of agriculture (Kwatra et al. 2016). The changing pattern of monsoon is affecting the farmers. This is indirectly hampering social sustainability as well as economic sustainability. The welfare of the farmers is obstructing along with the financial viability of the bottom level of society.
Apart from that the use of the non-renewable resources in the industry sector and the households in India is increasing the emission of carbon dioxide and carbon mono-oxide in the air. This is increasing air pollution in India. It has been seen that air pollution is occurring form the farming practices of this country. Habits of people like smoking in public places and the growth of the population are the main reason for the air pollution in India.
Reducing air pollution and maintaining sustainability:
To preserve the overall growth supporting the viability in India the mitigation of air pollution is needed to be controlled. Reduction of the air pollution can be made through two steps- making the clean source of energy and use of renewable resources, use of advanced technology and making people aware about the negative impact of the air pollution.
The clean source of energy can be achieved through the use of renewable energy which supports the concept of energy conservation (Tallis et al. 2017). The application of renewable energy can be made through the use of solar energy. This will help to mitigate the carbon emission in the air and achieve a sustainable environment. Apart from that, the use of renewable energy will support the industry and the households to reduce the overhead cost, and economic and social sustainability can be achieved.
Making people aware of the importance of reducing air pollution and its role in maintaining sustainability is another important part. Developing countries like India, the effect of air pollution is on the public health and use of resources. Community-level approaches can be taken to mitigate the pollution from the household (Kalyani and Pandey 2014). The purpose of clean energy resources in the household functioning can be helpful in this situation. People are needed to be aware of the adverse effects of smoking at the public place. The awareness campaign can be taken place in this case (Hanna, Duflo and Greenstone 2016). In the industrial sector, the innovation and the use of green technology and automation will help to reduce the emission of carbon. People are needed to be motivated to use cycle and other eco-friendly vehicles for traveling instead of frequent use of petrol or diesel cars. Moreover, the relocation of the heavy industry outside of the urban area can help to reduce the pollution level.
Conclusion
Maintaining sustainability in growth is an essential factor as it supports the overall development of a generation. Sustainability can be achieved through the enhancement of technology, social aspects, and the environment. The growth maintaining durability is essential for the developing countries like India. Currently, India is facing the problems from air pollution which is becoming a the constraint to achieve the sustainability in growth. From different theories of sustainability and review of the literature, it can be assumed that the prevention of climate change use of renewable energy can be helpful in sustainable growth. The discussion is focused on the growing problem of air pollution in India, which is a developing country. It can be concluded from the analysis that awareness among the people and encouraging the organizations regarding the use of renewable resources for energy can be beneficial in the sustainable development of India.
