n Sustainability of development is
comparatively a new area of knowledge
in which scientists, economics,
philosophers and other socialscientists
are working together.

Sustainable development represents

an opportunity to construct a new
approach, and the success of these
effors has powerful implications for
issues of peace and security.

 Sustainable development and issues related to
global environmental concerns has not been
well addressed in action. Although some
planning initiatives have been taken at national
regional and local levels but when it comes to
implementation, not much progress has been

Conclusio
made.
There seems to be lack of commitment and
awareness among local agencies and
Communities regarding to implementation of

n sustainable development initiatives.

Mechanism for implementation of sustainable
development initiative need to be seriously
examined including capacity building,
leadership training, coordination of efforts,
information transmitting, support and
commitment from authorities.
To transform the lifestyle of the people is
something not easily done. It has to begin with
awareness and continuous campaign from the
government and active participation from
stakeholders.
