Advantages and Disadvantages of Sustainability Development
Advantages of Sustainable Development
Lower environmental impact
The main pillar on which all this is sustained and where ideas take shape to develop the
economy without compromising nature. As it involves reducing the emissions of gases
that create phenomena such as acid rain or global warming, it directly causes the search
for alternative, clean and equally effective forms of energy.
Guarantee of a better future
Ensuring that the planet’s natural resources are not exhausted and there is enough to be
renewed or, if not, that they last for a good number of years, as in the case of oil or gas.
natural.
Disadvantages of Sustainable Development
Costs
Carrying them out costs work because it is about reducing or completely dispensing with
energy that already supplies part of the population with a new one, changing
infrastructure, consumption habits and this whole transition can be very expensive.
Unemployment in some areas
Changes to preserve and care for ecosystems and biodiversity can cause several industries
to reduce their activities or, in the last case, stop them altogether. This can bring
unemployment for many people who have dedicated their whole lives to work in a single
sector, such as the coal industry.
More requirements
The companies, plants, factories and others responsible for affecting the environment
would have more requirements to function, such as reducing their carbon dioxide
emissions or correct treatment of their waste.
Fragile commitment
As the transition to a more environmentally friendly industry is more costly and difficult
to meet because of the points mentioned above, there is a risk that the commitment made
with society is not so serious.
