Week-12 ~ Finding Sustainability Society

Assalamualaikum everyone. I welcome you all to my new blog. In our class, we got to know about how we can find and create a Sustainable Society. Today, in my blog I will discuss this. Therefore, here I am with my new topic “Finding Sustainability Society”.

We know, humans are depended on the ecological and social system to meet their needs. Again, Human needs to live a sustainable life.

The commission of the United Nation in 1987, defines sustainable development as the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

In a Sustainable Society, people are not subject to conditions that systematically undermine their capacity to meet their needs.

There are 9 human needs we need to have for a sustainable society.

◾ Subsistence- We need food, water, shelter to live a sustainable life.

◾ Protection- We need a safe place to live in.

◾ Participation- Being part of decisions that affect our life.

◾ Idleness- Some free time for relaxing.

◾ Affection- We need friends, love, care as well for a sustainable society.

◾ Understanding- It is all about learning and meditating.

◾ Creation- Cooking, designing, the invention is also a part of a sustainable society.

◾ Identity- This is another need for a sustainable society. The essence of belonging, knowing oneself.

◾ Freedom- Being able to choose how we live our life.

In the end, a sustainable society is meeting our needs in ecological consistency. By maintaining all these needs, it is way easy to make and create a sustainable society for us and for future generations as well.
