The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set forth by the UN are an international call to action that addresses climate change and ends poverty and social inequality (Willsher, 2023). In a time when stories about climate change, resource depletion, disappearing animals, and ecological variety predominate in headlines, the idea of sustainable development has come to represent hope for the future of our planet. The world is confronting major environmental difficulties including climate change, freshwater depletion, ocean over-fishing, deforestation, water and air pollution, and hunger (Willsher, 2023). To improve human-environment interaction and preserve the earth's natural resources for future generations and the millions of other species that inhabit our planet, sustainable development is essential. By supporting steady economic growth, conservation of natural resources, environmental protection social progress, and equality, we can maintain and enhance our natural resources so that all countries can meet fundamental needs of employment, food, energy, water, and sanitation (Willsher, 2023). Rising living standards, regional manufacturing, and global population expansion drive energy demand to rise faster than energy efficiency improvements. Population growth increases energy consumption (Resilience.org, 2009). The ability to obtain energy permits population growth. Energy resources are under pressure from energy usage, which makes them more scarce. They get more difficult to remove (Resilience.org, 2009). There is a depletion of nearby woods, deeper coal mine excavation, and more complicated oil drilling conditions. Put another way, the marginal returns to the extraction of energy resources are diminishing. The utilization of new energy sources as a result has increased the carrying capacity of the Earth (Resilience.org, 2009). The higher in demand each resource becomes, the more expensive it will be.
