Thinking and Application of Sustainability in Bangladesh in the Lens of Caring for Nature

Abstract

Caring is a well-known habit but it is often neglected as a practice in real world, 
particularly for taking care of the natural resources. Global North has taken some 
progresses in caring for nature by utilizing sustainable consumption behaviour of the city 
dwellers. However, it is still far beyond of thinking and application of care in a 
sustainable way in the Global South countries. This often denies the achievement of 
sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the Global South, particularly regarding 
environmental conservation and biodiversity. In this connection, this paper aims to 
investigate some scholarships to bridge the gap of this approach for sustainability in 
Bangladesh, a rapidly urbanized country in the Global South. Based on systematic review 
of literature, this paper shows the implementation of pro-environmental behaviour with 
creating value of human understanding and caring of nature can be a way of sustainable 
management of natural resources while the natural resources are depleting rapidly.
