Sustainable Development
The World Commission on Environment and Development popularized this concept in 1987. Their report defines the idea as a “development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.”
The term “Sustainable Development” is defined as the development that meets the needs of the present generation without excessive use or abuse of natural resources, so that they can be preserved for the next generation.
There are three aims of sustainable development; first, the “Economic” which will help to attain the balanced growth, second is the “Environment”, to preserve the ecosystem, and third is “Society” which will guarantee equal access to resources to all human beings. The key principle of sustainable development is the integration of environmental, social, and economic concerns into all aspects of decision making.
“Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
