Sustainable Development Definition

The simplest definition of sustainable development comes out of the UN's

Commission on Environmental and Development conference held over a decade ago.

It is defined as "development that meets the needs of the present without

compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs" became

the definition of sustainable development.

Five years later, in 1992, the Earth Summit in Rio was the first summit to

look at the progress made towards the goal of achieving sustainable

development, and each of the five global conferences since then has addressed

sustainable development in one way or another.

The Debate Over Sustainable Development

The debate continues as to whether or not the three components of

sustainability, the environment, economic development and social equity can

ever be equally joined. Many people, especially the environmentalists, feel

that sustainable development cannot be achieved due to the huge scope of the

problem. Despite the negativity, many countries are actively working towards

the goal of a sustainable future.

The United States created the President's Council on Sustainable Development,

which has representatives from environmental organizations, business and the

government sectors. They have developed policies to promote a growing

economy, coupled with a healthy environment, which is essential to our

national and global security.

Everyone seems to agree that it is essential that all groups work together to

improve the quality of life on our planet. We must develop efficient ways to

use our natural resources, protect our global commons, manage human

settlements, manage our chemicals, and our waste and achieve sustainable

economic growth. How this is to be accomplished is a matter of hot debate.

Sustainable Development Gains Attention

Fortunately, sustainable development is gaining attention. A Google search

returns 23 million instances of the word sustainable development on the

Internet. The term is becoming so well recognized that it is often shortened

to "SD". Yet, despite its growing popularly, the definition remains vague and

difficult to define.

After World War II, four common threads emerged as values the world's people

want to achieve. These values are peace, freedom, development and the

environment. World summits that have been held since then, have taken into

account these four common threads and sustainable development has evolved. The three components, environment, economic and social spheres, overlap and

no sphere can exist alone. Whether sustainable development is thought of as

a goal, a concept or a movement, SD is taking hold on the international,

national, corporate, city and local level. Encompassing all the components of

sustainable development remains a complex issue. Everyone has their own idea

of what SD is and how it can be achieved.

The Sustainable Development Future

What it all boils down to is that we as individuals and the world in general

must be sure that our activity does not cause our natural resources to be

used up faster than it can be replaced. Using up our resources faster that

they can be replaced naturally will, in theory, lead to a situation where the

planet is incapable of sustaining human life. The ultimate result of this

catastrophic failure could result in the extinction of the human.

So what is sustainable development? The complete answer is not clear and may

never be, but the direction we should be headed is getting clearer all the

time.
