What is sustainable development?
Since the days of the industrial revolution, our society has experienced unprecedented levels of development. Our lifestyles have evolved, globalisation has taken hold, and so have inequalities between rich and poor nations. The impact of man's activities on the environment has extended to such a degree, that its the very survival of our planet that is now at stake.
How can we meet our current needs, without jeopardising the ability of future generations to meet their own?
Sustainable development sets forth a new model, integrating a global vision for the planet and its evolution, by viewing the economy as a concept that also incorporates environmental and social concerns.
