Explanation
Sustainable development, as defined in the Brundtland Report, rests on intergenerational equity (A), intragenerational or social equity in sharing resources (B) and reduced dependence on non-renewable resources (D). Statement C contradicts the very idea, because development at the cost of the environment is unsustainable. Hence A, B and D only.ब्रंटलैंड रिपोर्ट के अनुसार सतत विकास अंतःपीढ़ीगत समता (A), संसाधनों के बँटवारे में सामाजिक/अंतरापीढ़ीगत समता (B) तथा अनवीकरणीय संसाधनों पर निर्भरता में कमी (D) पर आधारित है। कथन C इस विचार के विपरीत है, क्योंकि पर्यावरण की कीमत पर किया गया विकास सतत नहीं होता। अतः उत्तर केवल A, B और D है।More People, Development and Environment questions
