Environmental Sustainability in the 21st Century: Challenges, Innovations, and Global Perspectives-2025

Dr. Mamta Choudhary

Environmental sustainability has emerged as one of the most pressing global priorities of the 21st century, driven by rapid industrialization, urbanization, resource depletion, and climate change. This research paper explores the multi-dimensional aspects of environmental sustainability by integrating ecological, economic, and social perspectives. It examines how sustainable development can balance human needs with the planet’s ecological limits, emphasizing the need for renewable energy adoption, efficient resource management, and inclusive policy frameworks. The study reviews global initiatives such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Paris Climate Agreement, and various regional strategies, highlighting their achievements and challenges. It further presents case studies from countries that have successfully implemented sustainability practices, providing valuable lessons for global application. The methodology involves a qualitative synthesis of scholarly literature, policy documents, and statistical data to identify patterns, gaps, and best practices in sustainability governance. The findings reveal that while significant progress has been made in environmental awareness and technological innovation, challenges such as policy enforcement, financial constraints, and socio-economic inequalities remain substantial barriers. This paper argues that achieving long-term sustainability requires a holistic approach that integrates environmental protection with economic resilience and social equity. It concludes by recommending collaborative international action, stronger regulatory mechanisms, and community-based initiatives as essential strategies for a sustainable future. The research contributes to the discourse on environmental sustainability by providing an analytical framework and policy-oriented recommendations suitable for global and regional adaptation.
