Or

Explain the concept of inter-generational equity in the context of sustainable development.

Solution

Development that ignores its repercussions on the environment will has to face the brunt of nature and other factors like global warming, ozone depletion, pollution, water contamination, poverty etc. Hence, the development process should take care of its adversities i.e. it must of emphasise on sustainable development, development that allows not only the development of present generation in a safe and comfortable manner but also the growth of future generation in the best way. Thus, sustainable development emphasises intergenerational equity that shows the development of present generation without compromising the ability of the future generation to meet their requirements. Sustainable development aims at redistributing resources in such a manner that the benefits of growth can reach to the poor at the grassroot level and also these can be carried forward to next generation safely. Sustainable development aims at decreasing the absolute poverty of the poor by providing lasting and secure livelihoods that minimise resource depletion, environmental degradation, cultural disruption and social instability. It enables the poor to get equal chances of meeting the basic needs like employment, food, energy, water, housing, etc.
