Dear Friends,
Last month, we finished discussions on the 17 SDGs. I felt an urge to continue the blog series. I plan to continue sharing my thoughts related to Sustainable Development, with a fond hope that you find them interesting.
This month, I wish to put forth an idea that mankind should treat Nature as an important stakeholder. Merriam Webster dictionary defines a ‘Stakeholder’ as ‘one who is involved in or affected by a course of action’. Generally speaking, we are used to considering only human beings and groups of them as stakeholders. However, the Pandemic has forced human beings to consider all non-human existence on Mother Earth, both living and non-living as important entities, and this prompted me to float this idea of considering Nature as a stakeholder.
