What is Sustainable Development?
Everyone wants their quality of life to at least stay the same or hopefully get better. But what about all the rest of the people in the neighbourhood, county or world. And what about future generations? Don’t you want your children or nieces and nephews to have a safe and plentiful world to look forward to?
Sustainable Development is about achieving a balance of four elements - social, economic, environment and natural resources - and safeguarding these vital elements for future generations.
The diagram on the left illustrates this with Sustainable Development represented by the white centre where all the elements cross over.
