Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development refers to a holistic approach to growth and development that aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It encompasses the integration of environmental, social, and economic considerations into decision-making processes. The concept promotes the idea that economic growth should not occur at the expense of environmental integrity or social equity. Sustainable Development encourages practices that lead to a balanced relationship between human beings and nature, emphasizing the importance of conserving resources, reducing pollution, and ensuring social inclusion and equity. It is often associated with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of 17 global objectives established to address various international challenges like poverty, inequality, climate change, and environmental degradation, with the aim of fostering a more sustainable, equitable, and prosperous world for all.
