Sustainable
development means meeting today's requirements
without compromising the ability of
our future generations to meet their
requirements. We are increasingly faced
with ecological, sanitary and industrial
catastrophes; sustainable development
can help society develop methods for
changing its behaviour.
We
must learn to be economical and share
equally the environment's resources,
taking into account the Earth's limited
capacity for absorbing waste and pollution.
This is the environmental dimension
of sustainable development.
We
don't have a spare Earth! We must also
guarantee economic growth, job creation
and social equality. This is the economic
and social aspect of sustainable development.
