A basic description of some sustainable development terms and concepts.

Sustainable Development

Sustainable development in the Brundtland report (date)  is described as ‘development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet the own needs’. The concept of needs is implicit in the definition and emphasises the goal of providing the essential needs of the world’s poor. Sustainable development also asserts that sustainability and equity cannot be separated.

The sustainable development goals

The sustainable development goals are a universal call to action on poverty protect planet and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. The 17 SDGs are integrated-they recognise that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social economic and environmental sustainability.
