Whether sustainability is sustainable

The view of the sustainable world as seen by the western countries is different from the idea of sustainability as visualized by the developing countries.When western nations have industrialized, they can think about sustaining for the future generations and on how to preserve the environment. But to sustain human life now, at this moment, to live and survive is sustainability agenda of the developing nations.So the same word has different meanings when used by the developed world and the developing world.
Those nations who have already advanced can think about how to reduce pollution; it is luxury that they can enjoy. We cannot enforce awarding and punishing by carbon credits etc. Carbon credits and these are just  techniques to stop the industrialization process of the underdeveloped nations.Developing and under developed nations have yet to develop and industrialize and we are stopped in our path towards industrialization.

If policies are made so that the polluter pays, then that stops development. And development is needed for growth of the nation, it is the right of the people. When facing one crisis after another, we cannot think about sustainability. No new inventions have been made to save the Earth. We still have to farm and reach the people and provide sustenance for them to survive.Providing clean drinking water is still a need which is unfulfilled. Health care is not enjoyed by vast majority of the population. Due to power shortage we are cutting down on electricity. Infrastructures like roadways and railroads do not reach all the people.At this stage, if the developed nations push the sustainability agenda, it means that they want the less developed nations to continue being poor. There is always some condition in deals made while giving aids to the less developed nations.For instance, 'we will give aid only if you do not develop your nuclear power';or 'if you buy from Iran, we will not give aid'. Development, industrialization, and bringing in new technology is being controlled by the advanced countries and the less developed nations are silenced by some remote notions like 'sustainable growth'or others like'global warming' or new words for old issues--green economy or blue economy(preserving oceans). When advanced countries have technology to use up all of resources of the ocean and have now depleted all the fish stocks, they want to subsistence fishermen of the underdeveloped world to stop fishing and save the world? Where is the logic here?The poor countries are being the held back from growth and we are all made to forget this fact.Whether it is Rio+20 or some other meet, the poor countries should be heard. They are not heard.$513 billion was pledged for energy,food security and water conservation.The poor do not have any water sources, how will they conserve? While flying high in the sky, one cannot see the ground realities.
