Environment And Sustainable Development — Economics STD 12 Humanities & Commerce — Question

Carrying capacity of the environment implies that the resources extraction is not above the rate of regeneration of the resources and the wastes generated are within the assimilating capacity of the environment.
It is related to sustainable development because development is sustainable as long as an economy is operating within carrying capacity of the environment. As soon as we cross carrying capacity, we start facing the problem of environment degradation and development is not sustainable anymore. If these two conditions are not fulfilled, then environment fails to perform its vital functions of life sustenance and it leads to the situations of environmental crises.
