By fostering environmentally friendly methods that can help lessen the adverse effects of economic expansion on the environment, sustainable development can be linked to economic growth and development. For instance, spending money on sustainable practices like renewable energy can help cut carbon emissions while still promoting economic growth.

Economic growth and climate change are intertwined. Economically expanding nations often use more energy, which results in higher carbon emissions. However, this relationship is not always straightforward. Some countries have been successful in separating economic growth from carbon emissions by investing in ecologically friendly initiatives like renewable energy.

Sustainable development means “meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the needs of future generations”. Thus, economic growth will be sustainable if fixed assets, including land, remain constant or increase over time. Sustainability focuses on equal economic growth that generates wealth for all, without harming the environment. Investment and an equal distribution of the economic resources will strengthen the other pillars of sustainability for a complete development. Sustainable development means “meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the needs of future generations”. Thus, economic growth will be sustainable if fixed assets, including land, remain constant or increase over time. Sustainable development is essential because stocks of natural resources are limited. Natural resources are exhausted by humans for economic development. In an economic growth, the damage is being caused to the environment and ecology, which ultimately will create insecurity for human beings. Growth enables sustainability by encouraging investment. Economic growth strengthens consumer confidence, spending, and demand, all vital elements of a healthy investment climate which the energy transition is going to need. Sustainable development is important for ensuring that our society does not run out of resources that are vital for our survival. By undertaking processes that promote sustainable development, human civilization can survive for many years while utilizing resources. Harmonizing three key factors economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection is essential for sustainable development. These factors are all interrelated and essential for the health of people and societies. It is about taking action to protect our shared environment air, water, land, and ecosystems in ways that are economically viable, beneficial to human health and well-being, and socially just in the long term. Economic sustainability refers to practices designed to create the long-term economic development of a company or nation while also managing the environmental, social, and cultural aspects of its activities. Economic sustainability refers to practices designed to create the long-term economic development of a company or nation while also managing the environmental, social, and cultural aspects of its activities. Socially, sustainable practices can help strengthen community bonds, improve quality of life and provide hope for a better future. Environmentally, sustainable practices can help protect natural resources, mitigate and adapt to climate change and promote biodiversity. Economic sustainable development is balanced economic growth, free of indebtedness and over-consumption of factors of production, and activities that take into account the carrying capacity of the environment and future generations. While climate change may reduce economic output in poor countries, this effect is measured against the counterfactual of a world without climate change; other factors could outweigh the impact of climate change so that the net effect remains one of ongoing economic progress.As the economy expands, demand for energy and energy-intensive goods increases, pushing up CO2 emissions. On the other hand, economic growth may drive technological change and increase energy efficiency. Economic growth may be associated with specialization in certain economic sectors. Warmer temperatures, sea level rise and extreme weather will damage property and critical infrastructure, impact human health and productivity, and negatively affect sectors such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries and tourism. One theory of economic growth and the environment is that up to a certain point economic growth worsens the environment, but after that the move to a post-industrial economy it leads to a better environment.

Sustainable development is the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Balancing economic development and environmental sustainability is a challenge that requires a careful consideration of the trade-offs between economic growth and environmental protection. Climate change is one of the most pressing environmental issues that we face today. The links between climate change and sustainable development are strong. Poor and developing countries, particularly least developed countries, will be among those most adversely affected and least able to cope with the anticipated shocks to their social, economic and natural systems. Whether economic growth can be sustained while tackling climate change and staying within wider environmental limits is an area of ongoing debate. Different perspectives range from a view that economic growth is not bounded by environmental limitations to one that suggests sustained economic growth is simply not compatible with environmental

Investment and an equal distribution of the economic resources will strengthen the other pillars of sustainability for a complete development. Economic growth will be undermined without adequate environmental safeguards, and environmental protection will fail without economic growth. The earth's natural resources place limits on economic growth. These limits vary with the extent of resource substitution, technical progress, and structural changes.

Disruptions in daily life related to climate change can mean lost work and school days and harm trade, transportation, agriculture, fisheries, energy production, and tourism. The Reserve Bank of India's latest report suggests that up to 4.5 per cent of India's GDP could be at risk by 2030, owing to lost labour hours from extreme heat and humidity. Agriculture: Climate change can severely disrupt crop cycles and can cause low agricultural yield. A more rapid rate of growth means more goods and services, but it also means more air, water, land and noise pollution and environmental damage. With the awakening of the seriousness of the pollution problem in the late 1960s, economic growth had long been viewed by more extreme environmentalists to be an unmixed evil. Sustainable development means “meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the needs of future generations”. Thus, economic growth will be sustainable if fixed assets, including land, remain constant or increase over time. Natural resources are the basic condition for development; human resources are the basic condition for sustainable development. Development in connection with the environment is oriented toward exploitation and reclamation, whereas sustainable development is oriented toward conservation and reasonable usage.
