Attempts to Collect Environmental Approaches under the Sustainable Development Concept

Abstract

Environmental awareness has particularly increased in the last twenty years. Besides most of the researchers focusing on the environmental Kuznets curve, the approaches relevant to environmental degradation are not limited to disposable income. The paper has theoretical approaches and puts forth all possible sources of pollution and degradation based on sustainable development dimensions. In this respect, free riders and the tragedy of the commons are on the social side. The Environmental Kuznets curve and pollution haven hypothesis are on the economic side. Moreover, entropy is the third law of thermos-dynamic and creates the physical basis for environmental deterioration. In addition, at the end of the process, the Anthropocene emerges because of these four issues. It declares the inevitable consequences of worldly human activities on the naming of ages. Political suggestions might require local, regional, and global support, solutions, and regulations because of multiple dimensions and scales. Public awareness, the seriousness of companies in fulfilling their responsibilities, and the interaction of countries can make a difference in a more sustainable today and tomorrow.
