What to Focus On

  • Human development focuses on quality of life, not income alone.
  • Mahbub ul Haq introduced the Human Development concept.
  • Amartya Sen explained development through human capabilities.

  • Human-environment relations changed from dependence to modification and then to large-scale exploitation.
  • The Paleolithic Era had very low environmental impact.
  • The Neolithic Revolution caused moderate impact through farming and forest clearing.

  • Over-exploitation means using resources faster than replacement.
  • It leads to ecological overshoot.
  • Carrying capacity is the maximum population an environment can support sustainably.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
