What is sustainability?
Sustainability means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In addition to natural resources, we also need social and economic resources. Sustainability is not just environmentalism. Embedded in most definitions of sustainability we also find concerns for social equity and economic development.
Environmental Sustainability:
Ecological integrity is maintained, all of earth’s environmental systems are kept in balance while natural resources within them are consumed by humans at a rate where they are able
to replenish themselves.
Economic Sustainability:
Human communities across the globe are able to maintain their independence and have access to the resources that they require, financial and other, to meet their needs. Economic
systems are intact and activities are available to everyone, such as secure sources of livelihood.
Social Sustainability:
Universal human rights and basic necessities are attainable by all people, who have access to enough resources in order to keep their families and communities healthy and secure. Healthy communities have just leaders who ensure personal, labour and cultural rights are respected and all people are protected from discrimination.
