Sustainability concept of Human Development focuses on which of the following?

Both Present and Future

The correct answer is option 3: Both Present and Future

he sustainability concept of Human Development emphasizes the need to:

• Meet the needs of the present generation

• Without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs

This approach ensures that economic growth, social well-being, and environmental protection are balanced and long-term.

It is forward-looking but also acknowledges the importance of present needs, making it relevant to both present and future.

"Sustainability means continuity in the availability of opportunities. To have sustainable human development, each generation must have the same opportunities. All environmental, financial and human resources must be used keeping in mind the future. Misuse of any of these resources will lead to fewer opportunities for future generations. For e.g. If a community does not stress the importance of sending its girl children to school, many opportunities will be lost to these young women when they grow up. Their career choices will be severely curtailed and this would affect other aspects of their lives. So each generation must ensure the availability of choices and opportunities to its future generations."
