Our Earth is considered as a natural system which organizes and
controls itself. However, the present scale of anthropogenic
activity is unprecedented in the history of mankind compelling the
intelligentia to ponder over the scientific causes of the problems,
processes and sustainable and pragmatic solutions. The current rate
of resource use and consumption pattern are depleting the planet's
finite resources and damaging life-supporting ecosystems. A large
number of toxic substances are increasingly found in air, water,
soil, and flora and fauna. We are in the midst of a period of
increasing interconnected and complex global challenges that seek
action across temporal and spatial scales, diverse sectors, and
concerted efforts from global citizens. The environment on account
of human's action has been experiencing imbalances and ecological
catastrophe. Environmental issues like global climate change,
biodiversity loss, the rapid depletion of natural resources,
degradation of global commons, stratospheric ozone depletion have
been restricting the safe operating space and transgressing the
planetary boundaries endangering the existence of human societies.
The global environmental problems if not scientifically managed may
end up in the civilizational collapse. Nevertheless, the underlying
commonality among these environmental issues is interrelatedness,
complexity, and difficulty in identifying and implementing
solutions. The global environmental challenges can be managed by
adopting sustainable green technologies which dovetails the
principles of environmental sustainability with social and
ecological sustainability. Green growth is construed as a new
development paradigm that sustains economic growth while at the
same time ensuring environmental sustainability.
