What is Sustainable Development?
'Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs.' (Brundtland 1987)
Sustainable development is about using resources more efficiently and
educating people about the issues of sustainable development in order for
society to reduce not only its impact on the environment, but on the economy,
whilst improving social impacts both locally and globally to ensure a fairer and
more sustainable future.

The Three Elements of Sustainable Development The diagram illustrates the three elements of SD and focuses not just on the economic value, but on the
environmental and social value.
Environmental
EconomicSocialEconomic- Social
Environmental-Economic
Social – Environmental
Sustainability -Human happiness
All three elements are required in order to achieve sustainable development, and an impact on one element will usually have a knock on effect for the other two elements.
