The book contains four chapters which covers the entire concept of sustainable development which was especially written in simple and lucid language. Unit 1 presents the general introduction to sustainable development and covers about the International Summits, Conventions and Agreements on sustainable development. Unit 2 introduces the concept of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which provides an explanation about the 17 SDGs and how it works to combat against the environmental issues. It has pointed out the government initiatives towards each SDGs and its indicators of performance. Unit 3 sets forth conceptually about the responsible production and mindful consumption.
