Sustainable development faces several significant challenges, including:
1. Climate change: The increasing emissions of greenhouse gases are leading to global warming and environmental disruptions.
2. Resource depletion: Overconsumption of non-renewable resources, such as fossil fuels and minerals, poses a threat to future generations.
3. Biodiversity loss: Deforestation, pollution, and habitat destruction lead to a decline in bio-diversity, which is essential for ecosystem balance.
4. Social inequality: Unequal access to resources, education, and opportunities can hinder progress toward sustainable development goals.
