The document discusses green skills and sustainable development. It defines green skills as the knowledge, abilities, values and attitudes needed to support a sustainable society. It lists the need for sustainable development as preventing environmental degradation, ensuring availability of resources, regenerating renewable resources, ensuring sustainable economic growth, and checking overexploitation of natural resources. It discusses the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and the five P's of sustainable development - People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnership. It also outlines some challenges to achieving the SDGs in India such as a lack of leadership and coordination, social inclusion issues, and undefined scope, and discusses measures to overcome these challenges.

abilities, values and
attitudes needed to

support a
sustainable and
resource-efficient
society can be

SKILLS
4. Need for Sustainable development
●To prevent the environmental degradation because of
climate change.
●To ensure safe human life by ensuring availability of resources.
●To regenerate renewable energy resources.
●To ensure environmentally sustainable economic growth.
●To check the over exploitation and wastage of natural
resources.
7. Sustainable Processes
●Currently, sustainability is a lot like beauty — its definition lies in the eyes of the
beholder. This author’s preference is for actionable definitions that can be
integrated into daily operational processes. The following is an attempt to define
sustainability through this lens.
●Sustainability is the conscious and proactive use of methods that do not harm
people, planet or profit while also leaving a positive impact. The processes used to
achieve sustainability must be reliable, replicable and measurable; outcomes must
be confirmable, especially by outside scrutiny. Sustainability covers all three time
frames: rectifying past mistakes; reducing or eliminating current problems; building
legacies for future generations. It is a human-driven process. Machines don’t run
companies or processes, people do; sustainability maximizes human talent by
harnessing attention towards optimization and process excellence. With respect to
accounting and accountability, the focus is on appreciation, not depreciation (aka
positive impact). The goal of zero harm by definition leads to strategies that must
comply with legal and ethical standards. Incremental approaches work best. Speed
is defined by the ability to maintain positive rates of change.
8. Challenges in Attaining SDG's in India
To attend SDG's , the government
has interested the NITI Aayog to
monitor the implementation of
stg's and directed the state
governments to make policies,
schemes and implement them.
Although, the intention and
efforts for attaining the SDG's is
in place, yet there are some
challenges for achieving SDG's.
Such as :-
•Lack of Effective Leadership and
coordinated partnership.
•Social inclusion.
•Undefined scope and spread of
SDG's.
9. The challenges discussed in previous session required
collect careful planning and developing and exclusive
model for implementing, monitoring, measuring and
reporting SDG related course of action. Various
measures that can be taken to overcome the
challenges are:-
Measures for social inclusion
Clear Indicators
Correct and Ample Data for Progress Monitoring
Financing SDG'S
