Sustainability

A common definition of sustainability is “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. 

It is often associated with 3 dimensions:

  • Economic sustainability
  • Social sustainability
  • Environmental sustainability

The United Nations at the COP 21 in Paris in 2015 have developed the Agenda 2030, which entails specific goals to achieve global sustainability by 2030. These are known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
