Stimulating economic growth in developing countries by rational integration of the three pillars of sustainable development

Biblical scholars date the six-day creation at 6,025years, while research find modern human evolved 45,000 years ago. The Universe is 14Billion years old, the earth 4.55 billion years old, and life started 3.8 billion years ago and became multicellular 600million years ago. Modern human evolved from homo erectus in Africa, through a 1.9million years process, concluded 45,000 to 35,000years ago. Man migrated to other continents and reached Americas 15,000 years ago. Five environmental mass extinction events have occurred at random intervals of between 50 50million to 134million years. The earliest was 440 million and the latest 60 million years ago. Man came to be 40,000 years ago. Rules of probability predict the 6thenvironmental extinction event as due. The first civilization was in Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, Ancient India and Ancient China. Man had significant environmental impacts on earth and Hammurabi, the 6th King of the Babylonian dynasty enacted the first laws on degradation in1750BC. Developed countries industrialised in 1700AD and record highest Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, driving climate change, but are reluctant to take mitigation measures which could reduce their economic production. This results in difficulties in implementation of international protocols, towards accomplishing the SDGs, Carbon trading, ‘polluter pays’ and ‘common but differentiated responsibility’ in the Kyoto protocol. Space exploration, travel and exploitation started in1957, but the reserve of an exclusive few with the capacity. This paper supplements George Kaggiah (2023) “Formation of Earth, Negative Environmental Impacts on Earth and Projection of Extinction of Life on Earth” to provide detailed base line data to facilitate rational integration of the three pillars of sustainable development; economic growth, social development and environmental protection in developing countries.
