Sustainable Development- Adopting a Balanced Approach between Development and Development Induced Changes
The emergence of globalization has raised serious concerns and promoted ever increasing dichotomy between development and climate change issues that are borne out of such trade development plans and strategies. The sustainable development goals embark on 17 broad categories that calls upon the nations to achieve them by 2030. In order to achieve these goals the need of the hour is to make a paradigm shift from traditional trade agreements and policies to such agreements that aim to prioritize the attainment of these goals. There has to be uniform environment laws to promote intergeneration and intra-generational equity among the nations and leaving no lacuna for geographical disparity. The Artificial Intelligence can play a pivotal role in achieving sustainability by cross fertilization of technology and sustainable development leading to smart states, effective utilization of resources, green investment policies, use of eff icacious renewable energy resources, analyzing agricultural needs and prior analyses of prospective disasters.

Sustainable Education and Economic Development: A Critique of the Kerala (India) Model
Education is essential for societys growth and economic development. From the UDHR, all international conventions, national constitutions, and enactments have prioritised education for transforming society. This became more explicit with the SDG4 (quality education). Based on the UDHR and SDG4 guidelines, India also prioritises augmenting the educational sector in its policies and programs. The national education policies provide a foundational framework for this effort. Although many researchers praise the Kerala model of education, several others sharply criticise it as not aligning with the demands of quality and job market requirements. In 2023, almost 250000 students emigrated from Kerala for educational purposes. The student emigration constitutes nearly 11.3% of the states total emigration, raising serious concerns about the quality of education. From this perspective, this chapter critically examines sustainable education and economic development aspirations, evaluating the educational landscape of the most literate state in India, Kerala. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

Sustainable environment protection and waste management in higher education institutions: A case study
Higher educational institutions; Social responsibility; Student volunteers; Sustainable environment protection; Waste management
Sustainable environment protection and waste management are global concerns that major cities are grappling with, and it is the most important environmental factor that higher educational institutions in India are considering right now. "Parivarthana, "-the recycling unit of the Centre for Social Action at Christ University, Bengaluru, is evolved as a paradigm for all higher education institutions in terms of long-term environmental protection through waste management and the efforts of student volunteers. The student volunteers have been successful in sensitizing all members of the University to the importance of environmental conservation, and there is rising evidence of accountability among all members regarding waste management. The basic sense of social responsibility of student volunteers toward environmental sustainability is the primary focus of this chapter. Student volunteers who have a higher sense of social responsibility have a better attitude toward their studies, which leads to higher academic accomplishment and a desire to take action to address environmental challenges. Their environmental awareness, climate change, the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, efficient use of natural resources, waste management, and sustainable consumerism have served as an example for students of other higher educational institutions. A qualitative method with a case study approach was applied for this research with In-depth interviews with all stakeholders of the unit. The objectives include the participants' understanding of the prevailing process of waste management in the unit, the relation between waste management and Climate change, and the role of the student volunteers and other stakeholders of the Higher Educational Institutions in bringing a model to Sustainable Development and Global Climate Change. 2024 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

Sustainable fabrication of arecanut waste-based polymer blend adsorbents for enhanced lead(ii) ion removal from water
Heavy metal contamination in water systems leads to critical environmental and health challenges, necessitating sustainable remediation technologies. This study presents a unique approach utilising arecanut organic residue, an abundant agricultural waste, for the removal of lead from water. A bioadsorbent composite film was synthesised using chitosanpolyvinyl alcohol (PVA) incorporated with arecanut organic residue by solvent casting. The physicochemical properties of the films were characterised by XRD, FTIR, optical profilometry, BET surface area and SEM analyses. The adsorption efficiency of the synthesised films was tested by examining the removal of Pb(ii) from water. The bioadsorbent films demonstrated a Pb(ii) removal efficiency of 94.6% from 5 ppm solutions at pH 6 within 60 minutes at 70 C using 0.5 g of the film. Optimisation studies revealed the critical role of functional group availability and film porosity of the polymer blends, along with experimental conditions that enhanced the adsorption capacity. Kinetic studies also confirmed the results obtained from the optimisation studies. The adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model, and isotherm analysis confirmed Langmuir-type adsorption. The sustainable bioadsorbent exhibited good reusability, maintaining performance over multiple cycles. This journal is The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2026

Sustainable Finance and ESG Investing: A Blueprint for Future Growth in Indias Banking Sector
The paper focuses on sustainability transformation in banking, notably through environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing. Today, completely profit-focused banks are gradually incorporating sustainability into their basic functions. This is consistent with global initiatives, namely the Paris Agreement, besides the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This reflects a deeper understanding that financial activity must be environmentally friendly and socially responsible. With that, banks can now appraise if the banks investment is profitable, good, and sustainable. Reserve Bank of India, being the regulatory authority in India, with the help of the Securities and Exchange Board of India, has also been supportive by laying certain rules that enforce transparency of ESG practice, encouraging green bond issues. Thus, regulations are seen as bringing Indian banks close to world standards and promoting this sustainability culture. The paper also draws upon the importance of integrating ESG factors into risk management systems to mitigate any financial risks that could stem from environmental and social concerns. It further argues that although ESG practices will be beneficial in improving financial performance, their impact does differ by component and should, therefore, be adopted while working in emerging economies such as India. 2026 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

Sustainable human resource management and job satisfactionUnlocking the power of organizational identification: A cross-cultural perspective from 54 countries
individualismcollectivism; job satisfaction; organizational identification; sustainable HRM practices
Sustainable human resource management is gaining importance in organizations due to its role in developing a sustainable work environment and well-being. This paper discusses the relationship between employee perceptions of sustainable human resource management and job satisfaction in 54 countries. We propose that sustainable HRM is positively associated with job satisfaction but that this relationship is moderated by employees' identification with the organization and country-level individualismcollectivism. Thus, we suggest national culture functions as a second-level moderator of the relationship of sustainable HRM with organizational identification on job satisfaction. Findings from the multi-level analyses using data from 14,502 employees nested within 54 countries provided support for our hypotheses, namely that employee perceptions of sustainable HRM were positively associated with job satisfaction and that this relationship was more pronounced for employees with lower levels compared to higher levels of organizational identification in individualistic rather than collectivistic countries. These findings bear important implications for both theory and practice. 2024 ERP Environment and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Sustainable intensification of water guzzling crops: Identifying suitable cropping districts of India
Diversification; Groundwater development; Relative spread index; Relative yield index; Sustainability
With food sufficiency being achieved, emphasis of policy makers is now on to sustainable intensification in line with the objectives of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Widening discrepancy between the water-resource supply and demand necessitates relook into the cropping pattern of the country.Based on district-level secondary data of area, productivity and level of groundwater extraction, this study aims to identify critical and potential area for cultivation of three major water-intensive crops, i.e.rice, wheat and sugarcane.Study found that 1.93 million ha of area under rice, mainly in north-western and western India, need a gradual shift.Nearly 43% of the rice cultivated area in eastern and north-eastern states of West Bengal, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Assam has potential for further intensification of rice cultivation.In case of wheat, around 0.65 million ha of area, mostly in Rajasthan, is critical in terms of sustainability.Livestock is an integral part of agriculture in this region and hence diversification of wheat would require mixed strategy of shifting to alternative dual-purpose crops and wheat cultivation with water conservation technologies.Study ftirther found that around 13543 ha of sugarcane in mainly in western Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu is deterring the groundwater resources.Recommendations emanating from the study include differentiates agricultural price policy, payment for ecosystem services and greater focus on productivity enhancement in eastern India. 2021 Indian Council of Agricultural Research.

Sustainable Leadership and Organizational Responsibility
The changing environment of the workplace, which is determined by globalization, digital transformation, climate issues, and hybrid work practices, requires leadership to be more human- centered, responsible towards ethics, and sustainable performance. This chapter examines the notion of sustainable leadership and organizational responsibility and how positive psychology offers an effective system to create successful, robust, and meaningful working environments. The chapter explores how leaders can apply ideas of human flourishing, including strengths, optimism, resilience, and meaning, to the organizational culture, employee engagement, and leadership development. It shows how organizations can get beyond transactional management as it is a solution to creating an inclusive, ethical and high- performing organization and therefore can be used to encourage individual development and organizational success. Empirical studies, new models, and concrete case studies are integrated in order to close the gap between theory and practice and give viable solutions to developing sustainable leadership and responsible organizational practices in a fast- changing world. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

Sustainable luxury tourism: Promises and perils
Assam tourism; Kaziranga National Park; Luxury tourism; Sustainable luxury tourism; Systematic literature review; Tourist review
Recent decades have witnessed a rising concern regarding the prosperity of the environment and utilisation of resources. A sustainable approach is being promoted in all sectors. In the field of tourism, sustainable tourism is widely discussed among researchers and practitioners. On the other hand, luxury tourism is criticised for lavish resource utilisation to serve the few luxury tourists. There is a need to include sustainability in luxury tourism to benefit the environment, local communities, tourist destination and luxury tourists. However, sustainable luxury tourism is an emerging concept and needs more investigation. This chapter attempts to present the existing knowledge about sustainable luxury tourism by implementing a systematic literature review. Further, the opportunities and challenges associated with sustainable luxury tourism are being highlighted. This study has identified the factors that need to be considered to promote sustainable luxury tourism. Moreover, suggestions of the researchers are being presented to serve as guidelines. This study includes an example of the Diphlu river lodge, which has practised sustainable luxury tourism for many years. The viewpoint of luxury tourists are being understood by analysing the reviews of tourists from TripAdvisor using NVIVO-12 qualitative data analysis software. The combination of literature review and practical information provides insight into sustainable luxury tourism. 2022 by Emerald Publishing Limited. All rights reserved.

Sustainable Management of Exotic Fish Biodiversity in Karnataka: Status, Challenges, and Threats
Aquatic ecosystem; Biological invasion; Conservation; Fish biodiversity; Invasive alien species; Karnataka; Threats
Fish biodiversity, a significant part of the aquatic ecosystem, has been studied widely in India. However, the distribution and diversity of fish species have not been well-researched at the state and/or regional levels. Karnataka is bestowed with 8% of the countrys water resources, which are under extreme pressure because of unregulated population growth, biological invasion, and developmental requirements. Since the middle of the nineteenth century, India has been introducing alien species to its water bodies. Currently, 13.6% of the fish diversity in India is exotic and has been established voluntarily or involuntarily for various purposes. The establishment of invasive alien fishes negatively influences native fish communities around the globe. In general, most publications present the latest status of ichthyofauna in several regions of Karnataka; however, there is no up-to-date documentation on strategic environmental developments and unforeseen challenges, such as invasive alien species (IAS). This study reconstructs existing knowledge while analytically reviewing challenges, potential management techniques, advancements, and the impacts of climate change and disseminates the data necessary for the comprehension of the biological invasion of IAS. 2024, Indian Society for Ecological Economics (INSEE).
