On this Day, UNESCO calls to strengthen scientific cooperation and harness its potential to foster peace and sustainable developmentSustainable Development is a development approach that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It balances economic growth, environmental protection, and social well-being to ensure long-term sustainability. It’s often described as having three main aspects: • Economic Sustainability: This means making sure we grow the economy without using up natural resources or hurting the environment.
• Environmental Sustainability: This means protecting the environment, including all the different kinds of life on Earth, for future generations.
• Social Sustainability: This means making sure everyone has a fair chance and that life is good for everyone.
The concept was popularized by the Brundtland Report and is central to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs). More.
