Expert Solution
Step 1
Sustainable development is an approach to a country's economic growth that does not jeopardise the ecosystem's viability for coming generations. Land degradation, soil erosion, water and air pollution, deforestation, and other aspects of environmental harm are paid in the linked-to economic progress. This harm may outweigh the benefits of having a higher-quality production of products and services.
