Ethics and Sustainable Development
Sustainable development requires human beings to make environmentally and socially responsible decisions to protect the species and the earth. These decisions are made by individuals, a community, institutions, or nations. The decisions involve views and perceptions about the planet’s ecological and social environment and the impact of human activities on it. The judgments based on these perceptions are essentially ethical in nature. Here, personal beliefs, social experiences, and awareness of human–nature interactions play a critical part in the formation of ethical views. Sustainability is not merely a goal to be attained, but also a value based outlook about life on the planet.
