However, for the last few decades, this relationship has become extremely crucial for reasons that we, each and every citizen of this globe, and particularly of Bangladesh, experience each day. The path of development engineering that developing countries after decolonization started with growth-based trickle down ideas. Then came “growth with equity,” followed by “basic needs approach” and “participatory development.” Subsequently sustainable development (SD) in the mid-1980s, which embodies all these previous strategies, with only one new element added, i.e. environmental sustainability. This developmental tool developed consensus based on three dimensions — economic, social and environmental.How has environmental sustainability affected globalization? Human – induced climate change is universally agreed to be the Red Light of global unsustainability. The glaring contradiction is that while the industrial countries press for adopting newer market mechanisms for emissions trading, they don’t commit to binding reductions.
