Sustainability"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Brundtland Report 1987 Three elements of these implications; 1)A common agenda that Sustainability refers to the Sustainable Development of society, 2)To realize Sustainable Development while allocating finite resources for human needs, we need to maintain the ecological services provided by the earth as conditioned by the current state of technological and social structures, and 3)Sustainable Development must ensure we meet present and future needs.
