What is sustainability?
- Sustainability refers to the capability of complex systems to maintain themselves over time.
- When used in the context of human activity, sustainability usually has three aspects: social, economic and environmental.
- All three aspects must be met if something is to be considered truly sustainable.
- Anything which protects the environment by driving people into poverty, or something that supports the economy while undermining environmental services, will inevitably collapse, often with devastating consequences for people today and future generations.
- While nothing can be sustained forever, ecosystems, including those with humans, have maintained themselves for tens of thousands of years.
