Thanks for your critical comments. In a graphic representation, I tried to explain that without global peace it will be difficult to achieve sustainability in 21st Centuary. Just an example the expert have observed that during and after war in Afghanistan the migratory birds have changed there centuary old routes. These 4Es have interlinkages and these are effected by global peace. The graphic is open for improvement.The global peace is an external factor and political factor to SD. Professionals can raise awareness on its positive impcats on ecosystems and environment. There could be a good research project for IUCN and allied organization to undertake Environmental Impcat Assesment of any recent war or major conflict. the Energy hungary world is extracting and utilizing energy resources for economic gains (conventional development) at the expense of environment and ecology.For sustainable development there may be some optimum level or equilibrium value of these 4Es.
