Sustainability

Sustainability refers to the ability to maintain or continue something over the long term without depleting resources or causing harm to the environment. It encompasses practices and strategies that promote a balance between economic growth, social equity, and environmental protection. The concept is often applied in contexts such as environmental science, economics, and social justice, emphasizing the responsible use of natural resources, energy efficiency, and minimizing waste. Sustainability aims to ensure that current and future generations can meet their needs without compromising the health of the planet or the well-being of its inhabitants. Key principles include conservation, reduction of pollution, and the promotion of renewable resources.
