Famine, drought, natural disasters and infectious diseases are increasing worldwide. Various institutions and organizations, especially the United Nations and the European Union, carry out various studies to solve these problems. United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, European Green Consensus, Paris Agreement, Kyoto Protocol, Vienna Convention and Montreal Protocol are some of these studies.

There are steps needed to be taken on the basis of governments, non-governmental organizations, industry, and every individual living in the world in order to solve these problems that lead humanity to disaster. As a matter of fact, at the opening meeting of the United Nations in 2021, UN Secretary-General António Guterres mentioned these steps and demanded that action be taken as soon as possible. At this point, the concept of sustainability comes to the fore.
