The paper uses the variables like net national welfare (as a proxy of sustainable development), total GDP, total pollution and total resource rent (i.e., degradation) to establish the relationship. Here, the researchers use net national welfare for measuring sustainability. Statistical tools such as; Unit root test, the Hordick-Prescott filter, Co-integration test and Granger Causality test are used to establish the relationship. Unit root test ensures that all data are stationary in first difference. The Hordick-Prescott filter shows data trends are smooth in the long-run. Co-integration verifies that dependent and independent variables are co-integrated in the long-run. Normalized co-integration coefficients show that GDP has positive but pollution and natural resource rent (degradation)have negative effect on net national welfare. There is no alternative to control pollution and environmental degradation for sustainable development in Bangladesh.
