From one earth to one world!The need for sustainable development

africa » gambia
Tuesday, November 11, 2008

The objective of development is to meet the needs and aspirations of the people.

Humanity has the capacity and potential to meet these needs in a sustainable manner, without exploiting or deteriorating its natural resources.

We have to meet our needs with out compromising the needs of the future generation. This is the basic principle behind sustainable development.

The earth is one; the world is not. We all depend on one biosphere for sustaining our lines, yet each community, each country strings for survival and prosperity with little or no regard for its impact on others.

Some consume the earth's resources at a rate that would leave little for future generations while others, many more in number, consume far too little and line with the prospect of hunger, squalor, disease and early death.

This situation is much more complex as the world found itself in an interconnected economic sphere.   This gave birth to translational co operations, most of which now take centre stage in the exploitation of the earth's resources for human survival and maximisation of production, undermining their basic concept of emergence.

As the world enters a technological age that coordinates human activities, it is time to take a sober reflection on the reality of world economy so that we can pay our debt to the future generation.

Most of the earth's resources are found in countries where poverty, disease and hunger are common phenomenon for survival while trans-national co-operations have their roots from nations that are at the core of the global economy. This uneven distribution of the world's resources is however a natural phenomenon but its exploitation, control and management rest in the hands of humanity.
