The relationship between human development and environmental preservation has long been a subject of ethical concern. As the world grapples with pressing environmental crises such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource depletion, it becomes increasingly vital to consider how our actions align with sustainable development. This article explores the principles of environmental ethics and their application to sustainable development. By integrating ethical values such as responsibility, equity, and justice into development policies, societies can create a framework that fosters long-term environmental health while advancing human welfare. The discussion draws on key ethical theories, examines current global challenges, and proposes pathways for reconciling human aspirations with the planet's ecological limits.
