Question -

Explain the relevance of intergenerational equity in the definition of sustainable development.



Answer -

Handing over of earth to its future generations in a good condition becomes an obligatory requirement. It can only achieved if resources are judiciously utilised. Over utilization will result in reducing the productive capacity of future generations. Economic development that is being generated will not remain the same for the upcoming generations as the resources will be reduced. Sustainable development aims at economic development of present while not making a compromise on the resources available for future generations. It is welfare for both present and future. It is achieved by optimum use of resources so as to save for future generations and maintain inter-generational equity.
