Correct Answer - Option 3 : Sustainable development

The correct answer is Sustainable development.

  •  Sustainable development
    • It is the idea that human societies must live and meet their needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
    • The “official” definition of sustainable development was developed for the first time in the Brundtland Report in 1987.
    • The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.
    • At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership.
  • Economic development
    • It is the growth of the standard of living of nations from a poor economy to a high-income economy.
    • It is a process of structural transformation with continuous technological innovation and industrial upgrading, which increase labour productivity, and accompanied improvements in infrastructure and institution, which reduce transaction costs.
  • Human development
    • It focuses on improving the lives people lead rather than assuming that economic growth will lead, automatically, to greater wellbeing for all.
    • It is about expanding the richness of human life, rather than simply the richness of the economy in which human beings live.
