Post -15 Development Agenda: A Brief Review |
The concept of the development agenda depends on the concept of sustainability, explains the relationship between economic development, environmental quality and social equality. This concept has been included since 1972, when the international community first discovered the relationship between the quality of life and environment in the United Nations Conference on Human Environment in Stockholm. However, it was not until 1987 that the term 'sustainable development' was defined as "development that can meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987).

The Role of Online Dispute Resolution in the Growth of Mediation: A Comprehensive Analysis |
In an era where almost everything from shopping to socializing has gone digital, the field of dispute resolution has found itself standing at the crossroads of tradition and innovation. Mediation has been seen as the "soft-touch" sibling to litigation, aiming for harmonious resolutions over adversarial victories. While mediation promotes flexibility and mutual respect, it has been constrained to a degree by practical barriers: physical presence, scheduling conflicts, and the need for neutral venues, adding complexity, cost, and delay to the process. The pandemic was a crisis in itself, but it acted as a very powerful catalyst for change, pushing whole industries, including dispute resolution, online and rethinking how mediation could be conducted.

The Struggle Against Climate Change-Induced Natural Disasters in India SDG 13: "Climate Change" |
The world has witnessed climate change and its profound effects on the daily lives of mankind, but action against climate change is still met with ignorance. In modern-day society, the impact of climate change has become more dramatic with each passing day. Greenhouse gases, specifically carbon dioxide, have made the atmosphere so thick that heat is trapped on the Earth, increasing the planet's temperature. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is 412 parts per million and continues to rise. This was a dramatic 47 percent increase from 280 parts per million during the Industrial Age in the 19th century.1 If temperatures keep rising, glaciers will melt, and sea levels will increase.
