What is Sustainable Development?
The idea of sustainable development grew from numerous environmental
movements in earlier decades and was defined in 1987 by the World
Commission on Environment and Development (Brundtland Commission 1987)
as:
Diversity Understanding the importance and value of diversity in people's lives - culturally,
socially, economically, and ecologically - and that our lives, our economy and our
well-being are impoverished without such diversity.
Carrying capacity Understanding that there are limits to the world's resources and the ways in which
the world can develop and that the consequences of unmanaged and
unsustainable growth are increased poverty and hardship and the degradation of
the environment, to the disadvantage of us all.
Rights and Understanding the need to lead lives that consider the rights and needs of others
responsibilities and recognising that what we do now has implications for what life might be like in
the future.
Equity and justice Understanding the underlying causes of inequity and recognising that for any
development to be sustainable it must benefit people in an equitable way and not
improve some lives at the expense of others.
Uncertainty and Understanding that our actions may have unforeseen consequences and recognise
precaution that there are limits to human knowledge and encouraging a cautious approach to
the welfare of our planet.
