Environmental Sustainability: Key to Achieving Other Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Abstract
Millennium Development Goals are grounded in the recognition of the role played by the
environment and natural resources in providing the material and environmental basis, the
ecosystems, and the energy on which economic processes depend. This study sets out to establish
an association model between environmental sustainability (MDG 7) and the achievement of the
Millennium Development Goals. This study stems from the fact that environmental sustainability
is the key to the achievement of all the MDGs which focuses on the environmental impacts of
urban agglomerations, as it aims to improve the lives of 100 million urban slum dwellersby
2015. The study adopted a descriptive research design and was guided by seven research
questions. 637 respondents were randomly sampled and analyzed using regression. The results
show that there is a relationship between Environmental Sustainability (ES) and the achievement
of the Millennium Development Goals. The study recommends that population growth should be
linked to environmental sustainability for the achievement of Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs).
