Myopic Policies

All societies alike have made efforts on socio, economic, political transformations in order to suit their particularized historical, cultural conditions. In this process, that, the development needs a holistic approach over just the 'economic growth' approach, ineludibly, became the pragmatic recourse to agree upon by the human kind. In other words, this norm creation of 'sustainable development' has been expanding in its scope to encompass the determinations of what needs to be done, and what needs to be checked. In the backdrop of a liberal economic system that Nepal attempts to reap benefits from, the backfiring of myopic policies has hit us, as the society fails to create self sustaining legal system in the present scene, where the country is required to juggle with three goals simultaneously, economic development, environmental soundness and human rights for the social uplift. The paper deals with these areas of concern, in order to outline the need for sustainability in Nepal through a more prudent set of laws, and their implementation which can work efficiently in rapidly changed social conditions of this nation, to address and provide better working outcomes to start with, for the future generations.

Descriptive Method

Sustainable development is an essential precondition, and also the ultimate goal, of the organization of numerous human activities, with particular emphasis on education. One of the key dimensions of sustainable development is the social dimension, which refers to citizens' comprehension of its importance. The aim of the study presented in this paper was to establish the attitudes of future pedagogists towards sustainable development. The sample consisted of 240 respondents. The study used the descriptive method, and the data collection technique used was the questionnaire survey-the Questionnaire for the Assessment of Attitudes to Sustainable Development. The results of the survey confirm the general research hypothesis that students regard sustainable development as extremely important. Students of teacher training faculties are aware of the concept and importance of sustainable development for the present and the future, but are insufficiently prepared to educate future generations about it. The pedagogical implications of this study would be that university teachers should implement more content dealing with sustainable development as part of the curriculum, particularly at faculties educating future pedagogists. This is particularly important for these students so that they can act with the future in mind-the future of young generations.

As awareness has grown about the damage being done to the natural environment, limits of the earth’s finite resources, and the realities of climate change, environmental advocates have demanded sustainable development practices so that future generations will be able to meet their needs. Meanwhile, the widespread exploitation of workers in the industrial sector triggered the labor movement’s fight for social-economic justice. This focus on socio-economic justice that characterizes the labor movements is enlarged in the “sustainable development” framework which articulates triple bottom line practices that emphasize the interconnectedness of people, planet, and profit. The social work profession has joined these efforts, expanding its notion of the person-in-environment as it advocates for the needs of individuals, families, organizations, and communities. However, some scholars have problematized “sustainability,” questioning what exactly is being sustained, how sustainability is measured/evaluated, and who benefits.

Nature has made available to us a lot of resources to survive but it depends on us how to use those resources. The concept of sustainable development has evolved the term Sustainability. Sustainability builds and preserves those conditions by which humans and nature can exist in creative coordination and which will permit accomplishing the social, economic and other requirements of present and future generations. Sustainability word has been derived from the Latin word meaning ‘to hold’. We can say that it is a type of an ability or capacity of something which can maintain and sustain itself. If we say that an activity is sustainable, then that activity should be able to continue forever. It is being widely seen today that the attitude of pupil teachers is gradually changing in a developmental sense, due to adaptation of modern ways of living and altered lifestyle pattern. Here an attempt has been made to study the attitude towards sustainability of pupil teachers .The study included pupil teachers of Pauri Garhwal and Dehradun districts.

Sustainable Behavior

The challenge of sustainable development and consumption is to meet current wants without impoverishing future generations and the planet in the long term. Therefore, new patterns of sustainable practices are increasingly promoted. The purpose of the present study is to realize a systematic review aimed to analyze the contents and features of articles dealing with new trends in consumers’ sustainable consumption. One hundred and four papers published in the last five years were retrieved and analyzed through a lexicographical analysis using the software T-LAB. The results show that, even if most of the current studies focus almost exclusively on the environmental impact of sustainability, the social perspective is also recently taking hold. Evidence suggests prevailing attention towards consumers’ appeal and consumption of eco-friendly food products, together with a growing interest in the last years in consumers’ practices in other key sectors, such as tourism, commerce, and clothing. Future research should spotlight the less explored frameworks, looking at the economic and social sides of sustainability in a variety of contextual settings. At the same time, consumer-focused research should not forget to look at consumers’ sustainable behavior as a whole and its impacts from the perspective of planet, people, and profit.

The aim of sustainable development is to take into an account such an economic development, which simultaneously addresses into the problem of improving the environment in strategies which will lead to the higher standard of life. Hence the question of intergenerational justice,in which it is essential that future generations have an equal, in relation to the contemporary, access to natural resources and equal opportunities for the development of the life standard. However, implementation of such sustainable development might be limited by the negative phenomena of the social support. These are e.g. cyberbullying and disability. Cyberbullying is a way of force with the use of mass-media - primarily the Internet and mobile phones. Disability is an another social phenomenon having negative implications for the implementation of sustainable development. It is true that in Poland the number of people with disabilities is consistently declining, but it still applies to thousands of people with reduced efficiency of operations in numerous areas of life, and therefore requires a special approach in everyday life and in education and the labor market.

Sustainable development represents a civilization challenge that should meet the needs of today’s generations without jeopardizing the ability of the Earth to meet the needs of the future generations. This challenge, as an evolutionary process in which the social and economic development and the environment protection are independent, but mutual complementary components demands the solving of several issuesThe vision of sustainable economic development is based on the historical, cultural and political development of the countries. There is no unique way of sustainable development for different countries and therefore they cannot be made in the same way.The transition toward sustainable development represents a social choice that connects the global vision of the local needs and goals. The citizens must participate in the process of sustainable development. They must recognize the role they have in creating problems and finding solutions.In order to gain a general frame for the assessment of sustainable economic development  it is necessary to integrate several methodologies  and approaches toward the possible future generations for a quality and healthy life.One of the ways of assessing the results from the policies and the activities is the use of the principles and indicators according to which it is determined how much the countries work on sustainable development. Part of the indicators are generally accepted, and part are in a modeling phase. A systematic approach is necessary to see whether all indicators are necessary, and which of them are necessary for the assessment of sustainability. The economists do not have problems in executing the objective and quantitative indicators. The sociologists are facing many problems in the execution of indicators because of the immateriality of the life quality. However, the environment experts see problems when they are limited in the execution of indicators.Sustainable development is much more than a mutual connection  between the economy, the law and the ecology in establishing relations between the indicators of sustainable development  and the economic  development  are the basis for creating conceptual link  between the  different approaches toward sustainable economic development.The aim of this paper is the implementation of today’s relevant experiences, practices and theoretical knowledge expressed through the changes that are reflected in the life in the Republic of  Macedonia:• Protection of natural resources• Sustainable production and consumption• Sustainable sources of energy and• Following and reporting about the conditions, supported by the following indica-tors:• Level of citizens’ involvement in the social activities• Number of companies that have an ecological strategy• Number of people involved in the planning process• Number local communities in the Republic of Macedonia, which are eco-logically oriented• Number of shops that sale home food and organically developed food• Number of companies for organic production• Renewable sources of energy in the Republic of Macedonia• The level of nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere The elaboration of the final material will go through the following principles: Participation of local citizens. Key segment of the implementation of the Agenda 21; Short-term plans that support the municipalities that environmentally oriented; Local production, which is forced whenever possible;The oil, coal, gas, water should be saved and renewable sources of energ y should be used instead.

The goal of my research is a sustainable development that is perfectly designed and defined as an idea, but in its implementation we encounter difficulties, depending on the demographic picture of the country, political organization, cultural differences, etc. However, in order for sustainable development to take place on the "right path" in all segments of our society, we need a strategy, but even if it were, the question arises: "In a world that relies on money as the main indicator of everything, Sustainable development or the natural resources that we need to leave to future generations have any chance of existence ? " In this sense, sustainable development is a harmonious relationship of environmental protection, economics and social development in order to preserve the resources of our planets for future growth. This is the general direction to create a better world for future generations by trying to balance the social, economic and environmental factors of the environment. The application of this concept varies depending on the branch in which the company is located, from the characteristics of the complete national environment in which the company operates. Because the economies of each country have emerged as a result of different historical and socio-economic factors, the institutional framework is different from country to country in the European Union.

In 1987, the Brundtland Commission introduced the term “sustainable development” to highlight the needs for taking the future generations into account. The term has evolved from only focusing on the human kind to reconciliation between humans and nature. On one hand, this evolution opens space for nature and vulnerable people to be acknowledged, on the other hand, it raises difficulties in implementing the idea due to its heterogeneity. By the mid 1990s, for instance, there were more than 100 definitions of sustainability (Marshall and Toffel, 2005). Rather than following previous scholars trying to find a general definition for sustainability, we try to approach it through the idea of translation. From this perspective, diversity is being bounded via others’ right such as a practice is wrong whenever it might harm others and not because it looks different. Based on the argument above, we look at the energy sector within Asian countries in an attempt to increase variety in understanding sustainability.
