Sustainability

Sustainability refers to the ability to maintain or preserve resources and ecosystems over the long term, ensuring that they can meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This concept encompasses environmental, social, and economic dimensions, often described as the three pillars of sustainability: environmental protection, social equity, and economic viability. In practice, sustainability involves the responsible stewardship of natural resources, reducing waste and pollution, promoting renewable energy sources, and encouraging equity and fairness in social practices. The overarching goal of sustainability is to create systems and practices that support the health of the planet and its inhabitants while fostering a balance between growth and conservation.
