Read the passage and answer the question that follows by choosing the most appropriate option:

The roots of sustainable development can be traced back to the 1972 Stockholm Conference, where development was for the first time linked to the environment, emphasising the need for efforts at the international level.Sustainability is the ability of the earth's various systems including human cultural systems and economics, to survive and adapt to changing environmental conditions. Sustainable development implies a change in all aspects of life in a way that causes little damage to the environment. It is meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

The chief cause of unsustainability is the exponential growth of human population and overexploitation of natural resources. In developing countries, resource exploitation occurs chiefly to meet the needs of every increasing human population for food, fuel, fodder, and shelter. Various human activities like agriculture, deforestation, over-fishing, overuse of fresh water, etc. result in environmental degradation and social disintegration.

We have used technology to alter much of the rest of nature to meet our growing needs, like we have reduced biodiversity by destroying wildlife habitats. Some populations of pest species and disease-causing bacteria have been strengthened through indiscriminate use of pesticides and antibiotics. Renewable resources have been used faster than they can be regenerated, thus turning grasslands into deserts.

Sustainable development is further threatened by poverty, political instability, population growth, undernourishment, and high consumption of natural resources. We need to act quickly to avoid disasters in the near future.

41

Sustainable development implies:

  1. ((a))

    a form of growth that does not meet the current human needs.

  4. ((d))

a form of growth that does not meet the current human needs.

Read the passage and answer the question that follows by choosing the most appropriate option:

Planet, People, Profit: The 3Ps of the triple bottom line approach, which form the core of sustainable business operations, are more intertwined and inseparable today than they ever have been in the past. Natural calamities, global warming and governance issues are impacting reputations and businesses, along with heightened shareholder and consumer activism, and increased regulatory scrutiny. As a result, enterprises are compelled to take a hard look at the way they conduct their businesses and make sweeping changes in a bid to future-proof themselves.

An example of the way in which the landscape is changing can be found in the Indian banking system. The Reserve Bank of India, recently proposed integrating climate-related risks into its practice of monitoring the stability of the financial system and modelling climate risk scenarios to identify vulnerabilities. This could imply that banks and financial institutions would need to chalk out new frameworks, imbibe climate change-related concerns into their credit decisions and risk management functions.

Globally, communities and corporations are re-evaluating priorities and redefining purpose at individual and collective levels. There has been a conscious crossover to a value addition approach, which goes beyond profits and pay cheques.

Champions of climate change, software engineers going back to their villages to start organic farming, start-up founders obsessed with leveraging technology to solve the problem of access to financial services, and teachers imparting education to underprivileged students are the real-life heroes of today. To them, 'why we do' matters as much as what we do.

Consequently, ESG (environmental awareness, social responsibility and good governance) have become the focal points of the lens through which governments, corporates and individuals are looking at their day-to-day jobs and decision-making.
