Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs.
It contains within TWO key concepts:
The concept of needs in particular the essential needs of the word’ spoor, to which over-riding priority should be given.
The idea of limitation and social organization on the environment's ability to meet present and future needs.
All definitions of sustainable development require that we see the world as a system-A system that connect space and a system that connects time.
When you think of the world as a system over space, you grow to understand that air pollution from NORTH AMERICA affects air quality in ASIA and when you think of the world as a system over time. You start to realize that the decisions our grandparents made as out how to form the land continue to affect agriculture practice today and the economic policies. We endorse today will have an impact on urban poverty when our children are adults. We also understand that quality of life is system too.
