Sustainable Development-Adopting a Balanced Approach between Development and Development Induced Changes

Abstract

The emergence of globalization has raised serious concerns and promoted ever increasing dichotomy between development and climate change issues that are borne out of such trade development plans and strategies. The sustainable development goals embark on 17 broad categories that calls upon the nations to achieve them by 2030. In order to achieve these goals the need of the hour is to make a paradigm shift from traditional trade agreements and policies to such agreements that aim to prioritize the attainment of these goals. There has to be uniform environment laws to promote intergeneration and intra-generational equity among the nations and leaving no lacuna for geographical disparity. The Artificial Intelligence can play a pivotal role in achieving sustainability by cross fertilization of technology and sustainable development leading to smart states, effective utilization of resources, green investment policies, use of efficacious renewable energy resources, analyzing agricultural needs and prior analyses of prospective disasters. AI is now playing a conspicuous role in promoting education through digital platform. The only drawback is lack of ethical policies that create human perspective promoting socio-economic intelligence. The need of the hour is to make equitable and collaborative approaches to bridge the inequalities supporting high quality health diagnosis, human interaction and ethics.
