3. SOCIO- BIO-
PHYSICAL
Problem exists in the ECONOMIC
environment. Cause
created by human and
bio physical
conditions. If physical
conditions are not
favorable means the
resources has been
used injudiously and if ECOSYSTEM
favorable means
people are uneducated.
It is true. No one will agree to use resources on eco-friendly basis.
4. •Change in land
cover
•Pollution
•Invasive alien
species
•Over appropriation
or inappropriate
exploitation of
natural resources
•Climate change
6. • Get Safe water 1in 5
lakhs.
•One billion live in Dry
land.
•1.2 billion live in Rs 50
per day
• Poor families often
lack the resources
required.
• Limited access to
credit
• Poor people rely
extensively on natural
resources.
However over
extraction of resources
disrupt the environment
7. • Food security is integrally
linked to environmental
sustainability.
• > 2 billion poor people rely
directly on agriculture for
subsistence .
• The ecosystem services are
critical for production
includes freshwater for crop
irrigation, maintenance of
soil fertility , provision of
crop genetic diversity; crop
pollinators, pest control and
climate regulation.
These form of
environmental degradation
decrease food availability,
sometimes irreversibly,
complicating efforts to fight
hunger.
8. Environmental
degradation adversely
affects human health
through exposure to
bacteria, parasites and
disease vectors, chemical
agents (such as heavy
metals, pesticides in water,
food, air and soils), and
physical and safety
hazards (such as fire,
radiation and natural
disasters)
Many of the
diseases, such as malaria,
dengue and encephalitis
are on the rise because of
human disruption of
natural ecosystems.
9. • Fertility is highest in the
poorest countries and
among the poorest people in
poor and middle income
societies.
• Many developing countries
are experiencing significant
rural to urban migration.
• These demographic shifts
have key implications for
resource use.
• Increased food demand can
encourage agricultural
intensification & human
pressures on ecosystems and
environment will grow.
10. • It drive environmental
change in at least six
important ways –
•Increases consumption
and production &
intensifies resource
exploitation.
• changes in land cover,
its use and generates
waste.
• environmentally
damaging subsidies
•increased international
trade and financial flows
shift consumption
• exogenous shift in
consumer preferences
11. • Environmental
sustainability requires
dramatic changes in the
ways societies and citizens
manage their biodiversity,
wastes and byproducts of
production and
consumption process, and
consumption patterns.
• Also requires addressing
the direct and indirect
drivers, the underlying
causes of environmental
problems.
13. Flexibility Planning

14. Whatever the obstacle an Ant faces it has the
flexibility to go around it, under it or over it…
Flexibility makes an Ant comfortable in
ALL SITUATIONS
15. When it is Summer, it plans for the winter,
stocking-in whatever it requires for the cold winter
Planning makes an Ant prepare for
Future Challenges
16. An Ant waits patiently for the summer
during the chill winter
Patience makes an Ant relaxed in
Testing Conditions
17. At any given point of time, it does all that is possible;
however small it is
Commitment makes an Ant a winner, whatever the
winner
Workload
19. United they build an ant-hill,
A masterwork of Engineering,
where even the cooling effect is taken care of…
20. Ants are great Leaders
but
Ants also have the humility to follow the Leader
Humility is Strength, not Weakness
21. Ants, while moving in a chain, have perfect
co-ordination to send feedback to the following
ants This is Perfect Networking,
thus the entire Team is in the LOOP
22. Flexibility Planning

23. Don't Succumb to pressure.
Remember that
Pressure
is what turns
a lump of coal into a
DIAMOND
25. Train, recruit and retain environment experts
Secure sufficient funding for environmental institutions.
Reform government institutions and improve interagency coordination
Improve governance and gender equality.
Account for the cost of environmental degradation in national accounts.
Introduce payment systems for ecosystem services and tax reform.
Phase out environment damaging subsidies.
Improve national and international regulatory framework.
Establish mechanisms for science and technology advices.
Train decision makers for environmental management.
Provide public access to information.
Improve extension, training and services.
Science and technology must be at the center of any strategy for
environmental sustainability.
Universities and other institutions of higher learning should apply
themselves directly to sustainability goals.
26. • Increase use of sustainable agriculture techniques to
preserve natural assets.
• Increase real income of informal forest sector of atleast 200
percent by 2020.
• Protection and restoration of ecologically viable
representative areas of all major forest, shrub land and
pasture vegetation types and their biodiversity.
• Slowing fresh water degradation requires reducing
demand, especially in cropping systems; controlling
pollution; and protecting aquatic environments.
• Action should be taken to reduce exposure to toxic
chemicals and child mortality caused by indoor air pollution
and water born diseases.
