2.1 Environmental Sustainability
Environmental sustainability has gained significant attention in the pursuit of global development goals, 
aiming to address environmental challenges while promoting economic growth 
[1]
. It encompasses practices 
that minimize the negative impacts of human activities on the environment, such as reducing greenhouse gas

emissions, conserving natural resources, and promoting biodiversity 
[2]
. Numerous studies have examined the 
conceptual foundations and frameworks of environmental sustainability, providing valuable insights into the 
principles and strategies for achieving sustainable development 
[3]
.
One widely recognized framework is the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) approach, which emphasizes the inter-
connectedness of social, environmental, and economic dimensions 
[4]
. The TBL framework posits that sustain-
able development should not solely focus on economic growth but also consider social equity and environmen-
tal conservation. It provides a comprehensive lens through which environmental sustainability can be analyzed 
and integrated into decision-making processes 
[5]
.
Another relevant concept in the literature is the notion of sustainable development goals (SDGs) estab-
lished by the United Nations. The SDGs provide a framework of 17 interconnected goals, including goals 
related to climate action, clean energy, responsible consumption and production, and life below water and on 
land 
[6]
. These goals reflect the global commitment to achieving sustainable development by 2030 and serve as 
a roadmap for policymakers and stakeholders 
[7]
.
While the literature on environmental sustainability offers valuable insights into conceptual frameworks and 
strategies, there is a need for further research to explore the practical implementation and effective integration 
of sustainability practices in various sectors 
[8]
. Additionally, limited attention has been given to the role of hu-
man capital in driving and sustaining environmental sustainability efforts 
[9]
. This study aims to fill these gaps by 
examining the intersection of environmental sustainability and human capital development.
