Abstract
Importance of Sustainable Development (SD) in the lives of people and the planet. Regarding climate and global warming, we know that fires, deforestation, pollutant emissions, are caused by human action. There is a need for humans to think about their actions and change their attitudes. As a consequence of this human action, we have example the gradual rise in the level of the planet’s seas and oceans; climate change caused by human intervention in nature. That said, measures are needed to combat global warming, such as raising awareness among the population about the consequences of their actions; the adoption of policies sustainable, such as recycling various materials. The same is said about other DS subjects such as energy efficiency, sustainable mobility, sustainable consumption, efficient use of resources, valorization of waste or even the preservation of biodiversity. Also the recycling of materials necessary for the development of sustainable societies and local development. If we all understand the importance of using the planet’s resources well to make it easier to avoid certain destructive behaviors. For example in In the case of deforestation, the disappearance of forests has consequences in terms of the balance of the environment global and human life. It is worth highlighting what is described in the Brundtland Report that the SD aims to satisfy needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to satisfy their own needs. To achieve the goal of SD, a change in attitudes is necessary.
