Sustainable Development

Sustainable development is a holistic approach to socio-economic growth that aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It involves balancing economic growth, environmental stewardship, and social equity. The concept encompasses various dimensions, including the sustainable use of resources, preservation of ecosystems, reduction of poverty, and promotion of social inclusion and well-being. It emphasizes long-term planning and the implementation of practices that ensure environmental health and resource availability while fostering economic progress and improving quality of life for all individuals. Sustainable development is often guided by frameworks such as the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
