What reason demands? Making law work for sustainable development" by Durwood Zaelke, Matthew Stillwell and Oran Young' emphasize the necessity of
protecting natural resources which are under stress. Human activities are a
threat to natural resources. MDG (Millennium Development Goals) of UN addresses
a series of target such as poverty, human rights, educational and environmental
issues, social development and equality through good governance, based on law.
Good governance is not only ridding of societal corruption but also giving
people right, the means and capacity to participate in the decision making which
in written affect their lives and make the government countable.
Good Governance and the Rule of Law
Even as new governance approaches are being developed and new diagnostic tools are designed, practical efforts are underway in international institutions and bilateral agencies to strengthen good governance and the rule of law for sustainable development. Good governance and the rule of law are complemented and supported by corresponding social norms.
Essential Elements:
- Openness, transparency, and accountability

- It helps scientists understand climate changes and predict natural catastrophes like floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes.
- This enables timely evacuation and efficient disaster response, reducing the loss of life and property.
- It also helps in monitoring water bodies and managing water resources efficiently.
- Fault finding of space sustainability:
- Space exploration is seen by some as escapism, diverting attention from Earth's problems and potentially worsening global inequalities.
- Critics argue that funds could be better spent on urgent Earth issues like poverty, healthcare, and education.
- Rocket launches produce significant carbon emissions and can damage the ozone layer, contributing to pollution.
- Pharmaceuticals in space technology:
- It involves the application of space research and technology to develop new medicines and improve existing ones.
- The pharmaceutical industry benefits from advancements in space technology.
- Highlights and challenges of renewable energy:
- The innovation in solar, wind, and hydroelectric power is making renewable energy resources more efficient and practical.
- Solar energy:
- Solar panels use multi-layer cells and special crystals to capture more energy efficiently.
- The initial installation cost can still be high, making it less accessible for some people.
- Wind power:
- Wind power is a renewable energy source that harnesses wind to generate electricity.
- It generates electricity without emitting greenhouse gases.
- Wind power promotes a circular economy by recycling materials and components to minimize waste.
- Wind power generation depends on wind speeds, which are unpredictable.
- Innovations like floating wind turbines for deep water installations enable access to stronger winds.
- Criticism of wind power:
- Wind power generation depends on wind speed, which can be unpredictable.
- Wind turbines require suitable locations with strong, consistent wind.
- Batteries technologies:
- The Union Ministry of Environment and Forest has notified the Batteries Rules, 2001, to ensure used lead-acid batteries are collected and reprocessed by registered manufacturers or recyclers.
- Implementing these rules helps reduce the supply of lead scrap to backyard smelters.
- Improper processing of lead can result in lead poisoning and anemia due to exposure to airborne lead.
Dealers have also been made responsible for the collection and handing
over of batteries to designated collection centers and registered recyclers. The
rules also provide for your collection schedule based on question of batteries
world. Accordingly, dealers should collect 50% of the new batteries sold by the
end of the first year at 90% of the new batteries by the end of the third year
of implementation of the rules.

consumers finished of yearly return to the state. Pollution control board by May
31st and November 30 every year is the prescribed format.
Auctioneers have been
asked to auction the used the batteries only to register recyclers. The idea is
to channelise the used lead acid batteries to units which adopt environmentally
sound technology for recovering lead form the wastes. Bulk consumers including
state/central government departments and STCs are required to deposit the used
lead acid batteries with the dealer, actual manufactures or registered
recyclers.
The rise of electric vehicle significant drive of battery technology
advancement EVs helps reducing greenhouse gas emission and air pollution where
my contributing to clean our city of healthier environment batteries store
energy from renewable sources like solar and wind endorsing a stable power
supply even when the sun is not shining the wind is not blowing so it's us quite
affordable.
Towards future direction:
Sodium is more are abundant and cheaper than lithium, making sodium
batteries a cost-effective alternative resource. It is fast charging, recyclable
and it has second Life application.
