Fascinating Fact:

At a national scale, governments can promote sustainable resource use through regulations, taxes, subsidies, and education campaigns.

In GCSE Geography, sustainable resources are studied to show how people can meet their needs without exhausting natural systems. You will look at how countries manage energy, water, and raw materials, and how policies, technology, and everyday choices can reduce environmental impacts while still supporting economic and social development.

Key Terms

Sustainable resource: A natural resource used in a way that can be maintained over time without permanent damage to the environment.
Renewable resource: A resource that can be replaced naturally in a short time, such as solar energy, wind, or sustainably managed forests.
Resource management: The planning and control of how resources are used so that environmental, economic, and social needs are balanced.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What are sustainable resources in GCSE Geography?

In GCSE Geography, sustainable resources are resources that are used at a rate and in a way that can continue into the future, without permanently damaging ecosystems or reducing options for future generations.

What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources?

Renewable resources can be replaced naturally in a short timescale, like solar energy or timber from managed forests. Non-renewable resources, such as coal and oil, form very slowly and will eventually run out if overused.

How can people use resources more sustainably at home?

People can use resources more sustainably by saving energy, using efficient appliances, reducing water use, recycling materials, buying durable products, and choosing renewable electricity where it is available.
