Our all-natural resources are a blessing to us. Using them wisely is the biggest duty of all human beings.

Now at first let us understand that what is Natural Resources?

Wikipedia.org defines natural resources as those commodities that are considered valuable in their natural form. This means that the primary activities associated with it are extraction and purification, and not creation. For instance, though gardening or farming cannot be considered natural resource activities, mining or oil extraction can.”

Natural resources are the sources that are received from nature for our economical profit. These are the sources that exist in absence of any efforts of humankind. Familiar examples of natural resources are air, sunlight, water, soil, stone, fossil fuel, and many more. Living organisms demand the land’s air, energy, and water, and they exist in areas with the items they demand. For the whole all do, individuals use natural resources.

Now the next question that arises is that what is sustainable development?

Sustainable development is the sense where the human activities of using the natural resources are done in such a way that they must survive and fit their requirements without discrediting the strength of upcoming generations to fit their demands. It also produces a broad foundation for contemporary thought and study, based on considering people’s social and economic necessities with the protection and enrichment of natural ecosystems and resources.

This can be sum up as natural protection and enrichment + economic expansion + social growth = sustainable development.

Succeedingly after knowing about natural resources and sustainable development let’s finally get to know about Sustainable development Goals.

According to Wikipedia sustainable development is “The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or Global Goals are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed to be a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.” These sets of goals were founded by United Nations in the year of 2015. This is such a sort of project which does not have any profit. These goals are targeted to achieve by 2030. They approach the global hurdles that all the human face. The 17 goals are:
