Abstract

Sustainable development in this environment therefore, calls for cooperation of all countries both industrialized and developing. That cooperation must be based on the foundation of the right to development and the need for an equitable distribution of burden. The need for equity is starkly reflected in the fact that the emissions per capita in industrialized countries are ten to twelve times those of developing countries. The total emissions in the world must decline. We must find a way of solving this problem in a way that does not deprive developing countries of their right to develop. Economic growth, social development and environment protection are the three pillars of Sustainable development. Sustainability has different meanings for different contexts. For example, while developed countries are grappling with lifestyle sustainability, the developing countries are tackling issues of livelihood sustainability. As a developing country in the frontlines of climate vulnerability, India has a vital stake in the evolution of a successful, rule-based, equitable and multilateral response to issues relating to climate change. From time to time International communities setup the sustainable goals for countries across the world.

In this paper, researcher tries to describe the sustainable development. India’s progress towards United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals. In the end paper also talk about India initiated towards sustainable development.
