Sustainability

Sustainability refers to the ability to maintain or support a process continuously over the long term. In an environmental context, it emphasizes the responsible management of resources to meet current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. This encompasses ecological balance, social equity, and economic viability, ensuring that activities do not deplete natural resources or harm ecosystems. The concept promotes harmonious relationships among human activities, the environment, and the economy, advocating for practices that minimize environmental impact, foster social well-being, and support economic development. Sustainability is often represented as having three interconnected pillars: environmental preservation, social inclusion, and economic growth, which work together to create a resilient and equitable society.
