Some people argues that government should prioritize financial prosperity over long-term environment sustainability. This essay will discuss both views but I completely disagree with this view that economic growth plays an crucial role in modern life, but environment protection should be equally prioritised because long-term prosperity depends on sustainable development.
On the one hand, there are several reasons that government should improve public services and reduce poverty. They need to boost productivity and enhance people’s quality of life such as expanding the national budget, generating tax revenue and raising public fund more effectively. This will motivate country to strengthen economic competitiveness and create more employment opportunities. Moreover, goverment should invest in education, healthcare and technological innovation to make a wealthier nations. Improving public infrastructure investment (transport and facilities) and technological innovation (artificial intelligence) also develop the GDP’s country more successful.
On the other hand, it is contend that environmental degradation issues could be threaten by public health and economic prosperity. For instance, many factories emitted carbon emissions, may lead to green house effect. As a result, this affected and threaten the global stability and a healthy ecosystem directly. Moreover, the financial costs of pollution and climate-related disasters will also out of financial budget and make short-term economic gains. Finally, governments should raise awareness for all people to improve environmentally responsible initiatives.
In conclusion, although governments should prioritize financial success such as expanding the national budget to make sustainable development for country, they must need to invest in green industries. This may lead to promote economic competitiveness and environmental sustainability.
