Greening the Globe for Sustainable LivingInternational Eco-conference

Concept Note

The sustainable development Goals adopted by all United Nations, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests. Much of the planet’s economic growth has been achieved as a result of over-exploiting resources, be it land, water or life in all forms. In addition, to propel this growth, overexploitation and usage of fossil fuels is contributing to global warming and climate change. We are fast approaching a tipping point to an existential crisis and ecological devastation of catastrophic proportions. We have to use the resources our planet more sustainably and live on this earth in a way that doesn’t degrade the environment - for the benefit of ourselves and future generations.

Sustainable living is a lifestyle: that attempts to reduce an individual's or society's use of the Earth's natural resources and personal resources; attempt to reduce their carbon footprint by altering methods of transportation, energy consumption, and diet; to conduct their lives in ways that are consistent with sustainability, in natural balance and respectful of humanity's symbiotic relationship with the Earth's natural ecology and cycles; relating with the overall principles of sustainable development. Underdeveloped and developing countries are looking for effective models of sustainable living , mitigation and adaptation in the background in the background of Climate change.
