What is Sustainability?

Sustainability refers to the ability to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It involves making decisions and taking actions that balance environmental, social, and economic considerations to ensure a better quality of life for everyone, now and in the future. Key aspects of sustainability include:

Environmental Protection: Conserving natural resources, reducing pollution, and minimizing waste to maintain ecosystems and biodiversity.

Social Equity: Ensuring fair treatment, access to resources, and opportunities for all people, regardless of differences such as race, gender, or socioeconomic status.

Economic Viability: Supporting economic activities that are financially sound, promote innovation, and contribute positively to communities while considering long-term impacts.
