Green skills refer to the technical skills, knowledge, values and attitudes needed to support environmental, economic and social outcomes through sustainable business practices. The concept of sustainable development emerged from the 1972 United Nations Stockholm Conference and aims to meet current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. Sustainable development balances environmental protection, economic development, and social progress through practices like renewable energy generation, resource conservation, and ensuring basic needs like health, education and food security. Major challenges to achieving sustainable development include reducing poverty and inequality, managing environmental degradation and climate change.

2. GREEN SKILLS

3.  In an organization or in a workplace, people work
according to certain rules and regulation.
 Green skills are the technical skills, knowledge,
values and attitude needed in that place to develop and
support social, economical and environmental
outcomes in business, industry and the community.
 The concept of sustainable development introduce in
1972. The following info shows the evolution of
concept,
 The 1972 Stockholm Conference – The landmark
event has been convened by United Nations, the report
of the World Commission on Environment and
Development(WCED).

4. Importance, problems and solutions of sd
•The idea of sustainable development grew from numerous
environmental movements in earlier decades. Summits such as the
earth summit in Rio,brazil,1992,were major international meetings
to bring sustainable development to the mainstream
• According to world commission on environment and
development’s (WCED) ,sustainable development is the
development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own
needs.
•This means we cannot continue using current level's of
Natural resource as this will not leave enough for future
generations. So the aim is, sustainable development is a process in
which natural resource base is not allowed to worsen.
•Sustainable development is , necessary for the maintenance of the
environment. The main purpose the development work is people’s
welfare.
Improvements of
human life styles and
Preserve natural
resources and
SD

5. Examples of sd
• Wind Energy: The wind is clean, free and readily
available in renewable energy source. It is energy
harnessed from the motion of wind using wind
turbine or windmills. Wind energy is renewable,
which it means it is never ending and can be used to
substitute energy at the grids.
• Solar Energy: Solar energy is the most abundant
energy resource on earth. Solar energy works by
capturing the sun’s energy and turning it into for
your home or business. It is one of the fastest
growing and cheapest sources of power in the world
and will continue rapidly in the coming years.

6. • Green Space: Green spaces are locations where plants
and animals are left to flourish. Park also fall into the
category of green spaces. Green spaces provide people
remarkable opportunity to take pleasure in outdoor
reaction. They filter pollutants and dust from the air,
regulate climate and quality of air, insulate rivers and
streams from polluted runoff, they provide shade and
lower temperatures in urban areas, and they even
reduce erosion of soil into our waterways.
• Crop Rotation: In agriculture, crop rotation is the
practice of planting different crops in the same farm to
enhance soil fertility and assist control diseases and
insects. Crop rotation is beneficial in many ways; most
importantly, it is chemical free.

7. • Water Efficient Fixtures: Many countries in the world
are becoming water stressed. India is facing one of its
major and most serious water crises. In most buildings
around the world, essential water usage such as
showering, washing hands and sewage conveyance is
unavoidable.
• Rainwater Harvesting: Water is an essential natural
resource for sustaining life and environment. Water is
one of the most commonly used natural resources on
earth. Surface water is inadequate to meet our
demands and we have to depend on groundwater. Due
to rapid urbanization, infiltration of rainwater into the
subsoil has decreased drastically and recharging of
groundwater has diminished.

8. Components Of sd
Sustainable development does not focus solely on
environmental issues. For a development to be
sustainable it needs to be environmentally friendly,
be economical and meet social justice.
Sustainable development involves the development
of better future for the society, economy and
environment.
Three major sustainable development pillars:
• Economic development
• Environmental protection and
• Social progress

9. • Economic Development:
It is about giving people what they want without
compromising quality of life, especially in the developing
world. In the course of economic development, the cost of the
cost of environmental damage in the shape of deforestation,
land degradation, soil erosion and air and water pollution,etc..,
may exceed the benefits of having more outputs of goods and
services.
The sustainable economic development is about some
providing motivations for businesses and other organizations to
follow guidelines to their normal judicial requirements. It
identifies a city specific needs and available opportunities.
Some of the solutions are designed to raise incomes and
decrease household costs by increasing resource efficiencies,
improving access to jobs and services.

10. • Social Progress:
•The social pillars refers to, in broad terms ,public
polices that support social issues. These social issues
relate to our well being and include aspects like
healthcare, education, housing ,employment ,
environmental justice, resource security, sustainable
communities, etc...
•Social development is about awareness of and
legislation protection of the health of people from
pollution , education and harmful activities of
business . It deals with encouraging people to
participate in environmental sustainability and
teaching them about the effect of environmental
protection as well as warning of the dangers if we
cannot achieve our goals.

11. • Environment Protection: It is the need to protect
the environment that use the concept of 3R’s
(reduce, recycle and reuse).
• It defines to protect ecosystems, air quality, water
quality, green engineering and chemistry, resource
integrity. It measures some development includes,
• Urbanization
• Agriculture
• Infrastructure
• Energy Use
• Water Availability
• Transportation etc.

12. Importance of sd
It is important for environmental, social and economic
reasons. It is important for some of the reasons also,
1. Energy Conversation: Making use of solar power,
geothermal heating and cooling systems and wind
energy can significantly reduce a community’s
dependency on gas, coal and other forms of energy.
2. Manage Climate Change: It is now affecting every
country on every continent. It is disrupting national
economies and transforming lives. It costs people,
communities and countries today.
It practice like solar energy, wind energy, hydro
electric plants to reduce the use. Major actions to fight
these are reduce emissions, Save energy, Act against
forest loss.

13. 3. Provides Environment Quality: It is basically like a weapon
of mass destruction, everything we produce, from food
products that cause a pollution to the earth as well as the
greenhouse effect which led to global warming.
4. Save Groundwater for Future: It is the vital for reducing
the global burden of disease and improving the health,
welfare and productivity. People should not over use and
degrade the quality of water so that water is exhausted or if it
remains.
5. Clear Water and Sanitation: It is an indispensible part of
the world we want to live in. It is critical to survival and its
absence can impact the health, food security and livelihoods
of families across the world. Due to bad economics or poor
infrastructure, every year millions of people, most of them
children die from diseases associated with inadequate water
supply, sanitation and hygiene.

14. 6. Good Health and Well being: If the quality of out
environment affects the public health it directs to air and
water quality.
7. Agricultural Need: Focus on effective seeding
techniques and crop rotation to promote high yields
while maintaining the integrity of soil.
8. Aim to Zero Hunger: Make sure that all people
especially children have sufficient and nutritious food all
year. There is need for investments to be made in rural
and urban areas in social protection, so poor people have
access to food and improve their livelihoods.
9. Restrict the Use of Natural Resources: Minerals, forests
products, water and soil are just a few of the natural
resources humans use to produce energy and make
things people use.

15. PROBLEMS RELATED TO SD
• It is the way to identify and locate computers
connected to the internet.
• Two organizations should not have the same
domain name.
• A domain name always contain 2 or more
components separated by period called “Dots”.
• The computer or server on the Internet is
known as host and IP address is called the host
address.
• IP addresses are in xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format,
where each xxx is a number from 0 to 255.
• It identify the host computers, so that packets
of information reach the correct computer.

16. PROBLEMS RELATED TO SD
• Removing extreme poverty, promoting
sustainable consumption and production and
managing the planet’s natural resources are the
main challenges.
Some of the key problems are,
• Poverty – Greatest global challenge.
• Inequality – Increases political tension.
• Hunger – Less productive individuals.
• Environmental Degradation – Real economic
and social costs.
• Climate change – Global increase in
temperature.
