Reassessing sustainable development through lens of ‘Integral Humanism’
Sustainable development has been a buzzword in the past decade that has helped mobilise the entire globe to pull off massive conventions addressing issues like climate change, global warming, and depletion of natural resources with an alarm ing degree of urgency. But there is an obvious chasm between what has been talked about and what has actually materialised on the ground. The global leadership on sustainable development appears to have proven itself inadequate in controlling the damage that is being caused by the forces of modernisation. Access to development is indeed a human right, and modernity is also a pressing need of the times we live in. Both of these appear to be the only answers to the questions of poverty and misery that we see still engulfing a large part of our population. But one cannot deny that development in its conventional course can only happen at the expense of natural resources. Infrastructure can develop only at the cost of forests, and material well-being can only happen at the cost of natural resources. And therefore, a severe paradox presents itself, demanding our immediate attention, as to where we can find the solution that could bring a resolution to this problem.
