Sustainable
development is the organizing principle for meeting human development goals
while simultaneously sustaining the ability of natural systems to provide the
natural resources and ecosystem services upon which the economy and society
depend. The desired result is a state of society where living conditions and
resource are used to continue to meet human needs without undermining the
integrity and stability of the natural system. Sustainable development can be
defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising
the ability of future generations.
