Abstract
Sustainable development refers to a mode of human development in which resource use aims to meet human needs while ensuring the sustainability of natural systems and the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present but also for the future generations to come.
Sustainable development in Bangladesh is depending on an organizing principle for human life on a finite planet. Bangladesh is situated on surrounding ocean and natural recourses on this planet. It posits a desirable future state for human societies in which living conditions and resource use meet human needs without undermining the sustainability of natural systems and the environment so that future generations may also have their needs met.
Sustainable development ties together concern for the carrying capacity of natural systems with the social and economic challenges faced by humanity. As early as the 1970s sustainability was employed to describe an economy in balance with basic ecological support systems. Scientists in many fields have highlighted The Limits to Growth, and economists have presented alternatives, for example a steady state economy to address concerns over the impacts of expanding human development on the planet.
