What is sustainability and why is it essential?
Sustainability refers to the ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
It is essential for the planet and future generations because it ensures that we use resources responsibly, protect the environment, and maintain an appropriate balance between economic, social and environmental development.
Preserving sustainability is crucial to maintaining biodiversity, conserving natural resources, mitigating climate change and improving the quality of life for all people.
Adopting sustainable practices in sectors such as energy, agriculture, transport and industry is essential to reduce the negative impact on the environment and ensure a liveable future for future generations.
Furthermore, promoting education and awareness about sustainability is essential to inspire positive action and promote global change towards a more equitable and environmentally friendly world.
