An empirical critique of development is not enough

Is the plea for sustainable development feasible and sustainable? More importantly, is it possible to keep it sustainable within the current socio-economic format? Integrating sustainable development into our lives is both urgent and inevitable. However, is the present strategy of conducting empirical case studies on the dangers of development an effective way of addressing this urgency? Unlike any other peril the world has faced so far, the present untenable form of development poses a danger that is as unpredictable as it is absolutely catastrophic in nature. It affects not only individuals but also entire societies. Not confined to any particular time or to a region, it threatens to destroy the entire world as we know it. 

Harmful developmental practices are so pervasive and intricately interwoven with different aspects of human life at present that replacing them seems almost impossible. They operate outside the purview of freedom and choice. In fact, the majority of people are not aware of how they are unwittingly caught up in using the products of and contributing to the current form of development. Even products such as solar energy or electric vehicles that are offered by those advocating sustainable development use a lot of resources from hardcore elements of development, especially the hardware. There is a wide chasm between the implacable pace of development and the plea for sustainability, with the latter’s chances of success looking increasingly bleak.  However, people are not sufficiently convinced about the immediacy of the dangers. There is an urgent need to present a comprehensive picture of the extensive range and reach of irresponsible developmental practices and to correlate them with the effects on our daily lives and with the near future.
