Publish Time: 2025-08-28
Sustainable development is defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Sustainable development requires concerted efforts to build an inclusive, sustainable, and resilient future for people and the planet.
Achieving sustainable development requires the coordination of three core elements: economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection. These interrelated elements play a vital role in the well-being of individuals and societies.
Eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions is an indispensable requirement for sustainable development. To this end, it is necessary to promote sustainable, inclusive, and equitable economic growth, create greater opportunities for all, reduce inequalities, improve basic living standards, foster equitable social development and inclusion, and promote the integrated development and sustainable management of natural resources and ecosystems.
Sustainable consumption and production refers to the use of services and related products to meet basic needs and provide a better quality of life throughout the life cycle of the service or product, while minimizing the use of natural resources and toxic substances, as well as the release of waste and pollutants, so as not to jeopardize the needs of future generations.
