An investigation on how environmental ethics affect sustainable development

Saurav Kumar & Arun Kumar

ABSTRACT:

Environmental ethics has a significant influence on the direction for sustainable development. Meeting present needs without jeopardising the ability of future generations to meet their own is the aim of sustainable development. Environmental ethics is the study of moral principles and values related to human interactions with the environment. Environmental ethics, which guides behaviour and policy towards a more responsible, just, and ecologically conscious mode of development, provides the ethical foundation for sustainable development. To create sustainable environmental systems, the local people must take ownership of their environment, as they have been doing in many other parts of the world. The development of an objective, long-term perspective on how people should interact with the non-human environment in order to ensure its well-being is known as environmental ethics. The emphasis on environmental ethics and how human behaviour affects the environment draws attention to the necessity of changing detrimental behaviours in order to enhance the health of the entire biosphere. Including ethical concerns in the process makes it easier to ensure that development activities maintain the environment's intrinsic value while promoting the welfare of current and future generations
