What do we mean by sustainable development?
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to fulfill their needs.
Put simply it means that those of us who live now should live our lives and produce goods in a way that does not use up or destroy the earth's resources.
The UN's Sustainable Development Goals are intended to be a plan for achieving a better and more sustainable future for all.
