Can I know about the science of sustainable development in economics?

It means a development which should take place at present but does not compromise with the needs of future generation. For example, if we are cutting trees for building purposes, then it is not a sustainable development as it compromises with clean oxygen needs of our future generation.

To develop innovative green solutions, address the climate, and meet the demand of food shortage, science and technology, research and development capacities for sustainable development must be strengthened. An estimated 2.5 million engineers and technicians will be needed in sub-Saharan Africa alone to achieve improved access to clean water and sanitation. This demonstrates the need to strengthen science education, stem brain drain, and encourage more young men and women to go into scientific disciplines. Open Access to scientific information is a prerequisite for generating knowledge for sustainable development. Scientific evidence and ethical principles should inform behaviors, policy, action and governance decisions to strengthen sustainable development agendas. Climate Science must be a key factor in designing informed policy responses to mitigate and adapt to climate change and for disaster preparedness and resilience.
