Now-a-days, there is an increasing thrust on economic development all around the globe. At the same time, there is also an increasing concern about environmental degradation caused by development. Many a time, we face a direct conflict between developmental activity and environmental quality. It is neither feasible to stop or curtail the developmental process, nor it is advisable to keep degrading the environment, as it threatens our very survival. Discuss some feasible strategies which could be adopted to eliminate this conflict and which could lead to sustainable development.

आजकल समस्त विश्व में आर्थिक विकास पर अधिक ज़ोर दिया जा रहा है। इसके साथ ही साथ, विकास के कारण पैदा होने वाले पर्यावरणीय क्षरण के सम्बन्ध में चिन्ता भी बढ़ रही है। अनेकों बार, हमारे सामने विकासिक कार्यकलापों और पर्यावरणीय गुणता के बीच सीधा विरोध दिखाई पड़ता है। विकासिक प्रक्रम को रोक देना या उसमें काट-छाँट कर देना भी साध्य नहीं है, और ना ही पर्यावरण के क्षरण को बढ़ने देना उचित है, क्योंकि यह तो हमारे सबके जीवन के लिए ही ख़तरा है। ऐसी कुछ साध्य रणनीतियों पर चर्चा कीजिए, जिनको इस द्वन्द्व का शमन करने के लिए अपनाया जा सकता हो और जो हमें धारणीय (सस्टेनेबल) विकास की ओर ले जा सकती हों।
