Our Common Future report defines “Sustainable Development” as development which meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It relates to the visionary process of balancing necessary development projects for economic prosperity at a rate that does not deplete or permanently damage the natural resources of Mother Earth and social cohesion in the world.
Hence, we are otten reminded to Think Global, Act Local, Global issues refers to Climate Change caused by pollution, energy, population and world hunger, etc while local concerns relates to individual country’s sustainable approaches in addressing its own environmental protection, waste management, societal resettlement, etc.
The world of business and the world of nature need not collide.
What dreams may come in our political will, economic myths and ecological realities?
