Economic growth is more important than Ecological protection

The very first thing which needs to be recognised is economy and ecology are relative as a matter of fact, alteration in one will have its effect on other. Though in my opinion preserving ecology should be given greater priority because-.

-> Many countries have climate based sectors as the backbone of an economy. An Environmental phenomenon like climate change can prove havoc to countries like India where agriculture contributes significantly towards GDP.

-> Economy depends on nature ability to provide resources and if pollution is hindering its ability to do so then it can be catastrophic to the human race. In fact, climate change has potential to send us into one of the biggest recession.

-> U. S. In 2016 saw 20 extreme weather events which cost them more than 30 billion dollars.

-> Climate change will cost Canada in billions due to climate change as it will affect Timber industry.

> Economical development is closely associated with infrastructural growth which has been one of the prime reasons behind deforestation which releases thousands of tonnes of carbon di oxide into atmosphere.

Economic growth is important for developing countries like India but should be done in a manner that do not compromise with the environmental standards of human need.

I refute the statement that economic growth is more important than ecological protection. Although both are important, ecological protection is far more significant and crucial than economic growth. Protection of ecology is analogous to the protection of our own existence. The Mother Earth is ailing as a result of destruction and imbalance caused by the human beings. The earth has enough to satisfy everyone's needs but not anyone's greed. The need of ecological protection should be felt by each and every person on this planet. As far as economic growth is concerned, economic growth is just an approximate. A high economic growth does not mean welfare of the people. It is more related to increase in output. There is a trade-off between economic growth and ecological protection as more economic growth would also mean deterioration of the environment. A proper balance needs to be maintained so that economic growth is not at the cost of ecological degradation.

These both terms are different but are essential for a suitable life. Economic growth include the industrial and economic factors in India whereas Ecological factors include the environmental life. These both revolve around each other and are required for growth.

Hello, guys, I'm Shristi Sharma,

According to my perspective trade can help the poor in various ways:

• it creates more job opportunities for deserving (qualified) people and provides employment.
•it also helps the poor to get odd jobs like labouring, cleaning, etc. Whose wages are enough for satisfying their basic life necessities.
•it also helps farmers, as food processing industries are also a kind of business industries which are completely dependent on poor and small farmers. Thus, the farmers can sell their surplus production and earn enough money which is accessible.

Furthermore, trade makes a significant contribution towards empowering our country economically!

No, I completely disagree with the cited statement. Economic growth is undoubtedly important to eradicate poverty and unemployment. But rampant economic growth will lead to destruction of forest and exploitation of water and mineral resources. Further it will enhance the pollution level. All these will pose a threat to our coming generation. So, ecological protection is more important than economic growth. Now the only way out is sustainable development wherein the constant improvement in ecology is focused along with driving economic growth.

Hi, everyone. From my point of view, there is a very important relation between Economy and Ecology. If there create an imbalance between one of them then its create a great problem to our nation. Ecology is needed for good environment in which we can live and the economy is needed for good lifestyle. But we have to remember there are many lives in Ecology, we have no right to destroy their lives for our well-being and ecology is the asset of every country. So, we have to also protect our Ecological environment and as well as the citizen we have to develop our economy.

Hello, friends, I would say Economic growth is more important for India right now keeping in consideration of other countries. India is still a developing country and business are running well. If we only consider ecological growth then the cost will minimize the growth. But ecological development cannot be ignored that's why many businesses is going green and reducing carbon footprint. We need development considering less ecological hazard, #Go green and help India to develop more.

Hello,

From my point of view, both are important but economic growth is more important because without economic growth we can develop ecological protection so for development of ecological economic growth is important. And also ecological protection is very important for development of our country. But without one we can not develop our country because both are related to each other so in the yes I can say that both are important.

Hello and greeting to all.

As the question said it is always important to balance our economy, but as much as the economy we also need to balance our life with the surrounding we live in. As our body needs environment to fulfil its need, we should protect and guide our surrounding well.

As Economical growth is required for our countries growth, Environment is required for our personal growth.

Therefore both are interrelated and necessary.

Thank you.
