Meaning of Sustainable Development

(Future Learn, n.d.)

Sustainable development is a global socio-economic term, by which the United Nations has drawn a map for environmental, social and economic development worldwide. Its first goal is to improve the living conditions of everyone in society, develop means and methods of production, and manage them in ways that do not lead to depleting the planet's natural resources, even We do not overload the planet, and do not deprive future generations of these resources (meeting the needs of the current generation without wasting the rights of future generations), and without overusing the natural resources remaining on our planet.

(United Nations, 2015)
