Sustainability

Sustainability refers to the ability to maintain or support a process continuously over time. In environmental contexts, it means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This encompasses the interplay between environmental health, economic viability, and social equity, often described as the three pillars of sustainability: environmental protection, social development, and economic growth. Sustainability emphasizes responsible management of resources, promoting practices that protect ecosystems, reduce waste, and minimize human impact on the planet. Ultimately, it seeks to foster a balanced relationship between human activities and the natural world to ensure a healthy environment and society for generations to come.
