The world has seen leaps of development in the last century, the cost of which may be considered in the form of environmental degradation, increase in the level of Green house Gases (GHGs), deforestation and global warming. Carbon footprint, carbon offset carbon credits / permits, emissions trading and clean development mechanisms are some of the new terminologies that have been developed to evaluate the extent of part played by different nations in increasing global warming and the steps to mitigate it. International efforts such as Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, UN-REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) Programme, Copenhagen Accord (2009) and Cancun summit (2010) have been made to stabilize the global carbon emissions. The main hurdle in developing a global consensus is the disagreement between the developing and the developed nations with developed nations not ready to cut down on their carbon emissions.Keywords

In the last half of the twentieth century peace, freedom, development, and environment have emerged as four key aspirations of the world's people. The conflict between the environment and development has been acknowledged and reaffirmed in various conferences and summits. Sustainable development is thus a much desired goal of the world community at present. The concept involves social, economic, environmental and institutional dimensions. The approaches involved are poverty eradication, countering the unsustainable patterns of consumption and production, protection and management of the natural resource base, emphasis on regional cooperation, health and science&technology. Equitable allocation of finance, trade, technology, energy security and human resource between developing and developed world are effective tools for implementation of sustainable development activities. The first and the third world need to work as one so that the human progress made in 20th century does not mar the future and development of our next generation.Keywords
