The share of climate related disasters in the total disaster events have been increasing steadily. The unprecedented impact of extreme temperature events in Europe and sudden increase in the flood events in rest of the world is strongly linked with climate change patterns. The most devastating impact of climate change involves making the weather pattern erratic.

| Summary/Abstract |
Sustainable development as a concept owes a lot to the philosophical orientation originating in India. At its core, sustainable development is closely related to the idea of spirituality which intricately binds human existence and survival to other life forms. India with its very rich cultural heritage advocating tolerance, non-violence and inclusion suits very well to the idea of sustainability. The core ideal of Hindu religion and the diverse manifestation of man-nature collaborations in the form of sacred grooves are the traditional mechanisms enforced through the instrument of religion. Such traditional institutions are very strong pillars of sustainable development. The philosophy of sama darshana in Gita and Gandhi’s conceptualization of swaraj further strengthen the value of sustainability by identifying development which is humane, grounded in appreciation of locally available resources, simple in operation and above all sustainable.
