ABSTRACT

In this paper, we will be discussing the concept of sustainable development as per the Stockholm Declaration. This paper will conduct an in-depth study as to how and why did the concept of sustainable development emerge. We shall start the research paper by answering certain basic questions in brief as to what the role of the United Nations Environment Programme is, what is Stockholm Declaration, why was is required, what is sustainable development, etc. Once we understand the basics we shall move to the deeper analysis where we analyse the concept of sustainable development as per the Stockholm Declaration looking at it from a multidisciplinary viewpoint. Most of the nations were rapidly consuming and depleting their natural resources at an alarming rate which led to the international organisations taking strict actions to control the damage for not just the present generations but also using resources in a judicious manner so that they can be replenished and be used by the future generations as well. There were multiple other reasons that led to the development of sustainable development, we shall discuss them all in this paper.
