India is one of the leaders in sustainable development and clean energy. With the Hon PM Narendra Modi-led government’s reform-oriented, environment-friendly policies, the country has time & again shown that sound environmental policies can pave the way to a sound economy.

At the UN Climate Change Conference COP26 in 2021, PM Shri Narendra Modi announced the ‘LiFE’, a mission to bring individual behavioural change at the forefront of the global climate action narrative. LIFE or Lifestyle for Environment along with the ‘Pro Planet People’ movement, aims to strengthen the efforts to overcome climate change.

LiFE will replace the prevailing 'use-and-throw’ thinking with an environmentally conscious lifestyle. The Mission is to create a global community of ‘Pro-Planet People’ (P3), who with their shared commitment will adopt and promote environmentally friendly lifestyles.

Individual Efforts Are Key to Climate Commitment

India's traditional knowledge strongly positions it to lead the narrative of addressing climate change. Like many other mass movements, LiFE aims to inspire climate action based on the mantra of ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas’.

MyGov invites you to share your ideas and suggestions on how to adapt to an environmentally conscious lifestyle.

The full texts were read thoroughly in order to extract the relevant information. Pieces of information gathered were analysed, combining the qualitative content analysis (Elo & Kyngäs, 2008; Hsieh & Shannon, 2005; Mayring, 2000) and recursive abstraction (Leshan, 2012) techniques.

Literature that was not related to sustainability and development was excluded. However, in order to avoid the risk of missing potentially relevant literature, reference lists of selected articles were scanned for related materials to the topic under study. Information, including title and abstract, was reviewed for articles and other publications identified in the search. Selected materials meeting pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria and were coherent with the topic of interest were included in the review. The general inclusion criteria were relevance, authority and currency (Browning & Rigolon, 2019; Wolf et al., 2014). Relevance had to do with how the material had contributed to the SD discourse, while authority refers to whether it had been published by a reputable source or the material had been peer-reviewed or professionally edited, Currency, on the other hand, was defined in terms of whether the material was still influential regarding the debate on SD (Browning & Rigo

No date restrictions were imposed on the search as priority was given to the relevance of the materials in terms of their substantial contribution to the ongoing discourse on SD, irrespective of the age of the material. Attempts, however, were made to capture as much recent literature as possible in order to reflect the currency and increasing relevance of the topic.

The documents were identified through a combination of searches, using keywords and terms associated with SD. These included sustainability, development, sustainable development, economic sustainability, social sustainability, environmental sustainability and sustainable development goals.

The review was guided by aspects of the “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses” (PRISMA) guidelines (Moher et al., 2009; Tranfield, Denyer, & Smart, 2003). Secondary data were collected through review of relevant materials including articles, theses, conference presentations and other documents available on the internet.

This is significant as it would provide researchers, policymakers and academics, as well as development practitioners and students more information about the paradigm for policy-making, decision-making and further research.

Thus, the profusion of literature notwithstanding, further clarification of the unclear issues about SD is imperative since decision-makers need not only better data and information on the linkages among the principles and pillars of SD, but also enhanced understanding of such linkages and their implication for action in the interest of human development (Abubakar, 2017; Hylton, 2019). Succinctly put, a concise and coherent discourse on SD is needed to further illuminate the pathway and trajectory to sustainable development in order to encourage citizenship rather than spectatorship. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to contribute to the intelligibility and articulacy of the discourse on SD by providing more concise information on its meaning, evolution, associated key concepts, dimension, the relationships among the dimensions, the principles, and their implications for global, national and individual actions in the quest for SD.

While it cannot be disputed that literature on SD abounds, issues regarding the concept’s definition, history, pillars, principles and the implications of these for human development, remain unclear to many people.

I have posted my very simple wish for a clean India, on the mygov website. This is the text, please feel free to copy paste or modify. But please do raise your voice too for the right to garbage free surroundings. "Respected PM Modiji, Please reinforce the importance of Swacch Bharat. Swacchata is not just the government's, but every single citizen's responsibility. I live in Bangalore and it pains me to see open garbage dumping everywhere, literally everywhere. I am attaching pictures from a 40 kilometres stretch along Kanakapura road,NH209. Both sides of the entire highway are ugly, stinking, and strewn with rotting garbage and also lakes on either side are used for dumping garbage. A major health hazard, an eyesore and a shame on our civic sense. Please highlight this simple but vital point, Thank you Sir." DrAsha Benakappa
