Global Development Models and Sustainable Living

Sustainable Development and Its Constituent Parts

Given the fact that I did not prepare this topic, I will base my theory on a video taken from the internet and, of course, what I have been thinking about in the last 10 minutes.

First of all, according to what I have seen on the internet (actually, I watched a Salfate program), he believes sustainable development is the confluence of three constituent parts: Society, Environment, and Economy. These terms are related to each other in specific ways:

Economic Growth: Geography and Institutional Factors

Key Questions in Economic Development

Proximate and Ultimate Factors in Development

Ultimate factors are deep, underlying causes of development differences—things that shape history over thousands of years. Proximate factors are the immediate mechanisms through which these ultimate factors influence outcomes.

Examples of Ultimate Factors:

  • Geography (climate, animals, crops)
  • Continental orientation
  • Disease environment

Examples of Proximate Factors:

  • Technology
  • Institutions (property rights, rule of law)
  • Education
