Global warming refers to increase in the average temperature of the globe due to heat that gets trapped in the atmosphere because of which the surface of the earth is heated. Global warming has caused global climatic changes that has hampered the food security as a result of soil erosion and reduced rainfall on agricultural production. There was a United nations climate change conference that was held in the year 2015 in Paris, France which is known as Paris agreement.

• Trapping of sun’s heat in the lower atmosphere due to increase in the pollution causing gases like carbon dioxide is called greenhouse effect.
  
• Greenhouse gases are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane and ozone, nitrous oxide etc.
  
• Sun’s radiation is partly absorbed by earth and rest of the radiations are reflected back to the atmosphere which is escaped. But the greenhouse gases form a blanket in the atmosphere and traps the radiation from escaping. This causes an increase in earth’s temperature resulting in Global warming.

Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs is called sustainable development.

Social, economic and ecological equity is the necessary condition for achieving sustainable development. Equity is the central ethical principle behind sustainable development. Equity here means everyone should have equal access to community resources and opportunities.

Important aspect of sustainable development is the intergenerational equity. This concept tells that the present natural environment is same for the generations of present and future. Hence nature has to be utilised in a way such that it do not compromise the needs of future generations.

Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs is called sustainable development. About 17 sustainable developmental goals have been published by United Nations. These goals are to be achieved by 2030.

Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs is called sustainable development. Sustainable development is the process of utilising natural resources for human development without completely depleting them but by sustaining the ability of nature to continue to provide its resources. In order to achieve this, one must focus on utilizing renewable sources of energy which can be utilised again and again.

Due to extensive cultivation,  there is a sharp decrease in the area under forests. Since extensive cultivation requires large areas to be brought under cultivation, it has led to deforestation. 

Due to extensive cultivation, the increasing area under cultivation is increasing which results in a large amount of forest depletion that leads to deforestation. This deforestation has led to decrease in rainfall due to alterations in the hydrological cycle.

Economic development refers to the process of using natural resources for the development of the economy. But in developed countries the resources are exploited in a very large quantity that leads to the depletion of these stock of natural resources. The negative effects of economic development are increased air pollution, global warming and loss of biodiversity. 

Soil erosion is a type of phenomenon where the upper most layer of the soil gets washed away by the acts of wind and water. This leads to a fall in the overall productivity due to deterioration in the quality of soil used for cultivation.
