About the Program

Are we using the world resources, or using it up? Can the current development continue? What are the unsustainable risks?

Sustainable development is put forward as an answer to above questions, but the notion of sustainable development is not free from controversies – Sustainable development: what development and whose sustainability? Whether the people who sacrifice in the process of sustainability are the beneficiaries of sustainable development? Also the other important question remains – How can one assess sustainability of any society, development organization, or business enterprise?
