The document discusses sustainable development and defines it as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs, as determined by the Brundtland Commission. The Brundtland Commission was created by the UN in 1983 to address environmental deterioration and promote sustainable development. Achieving sustainable development requires resolving global challenges like climate change and inequality through commitments to social progress, environmental protection, and economic growth, as outlined in the UN's 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals.

1. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Sustainable development is a way for people to use resources
without the resources running out. It means doing development
without damaging or affecting the environment. The term used
by the Brundtland Commission defined it as development
with sustainability that "meets the needs of the present and
also compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs.
Everyone wants a better place to live. Some people want better
homes and housing, while other people want better schools,
more jobs, better shops, or cleaner and safer streets.
WHAT IS THE BRUNDTLAND
COMMISSION?
The Brundtland Commission was created by the United Nations
in 1983 to reflect about ways to save the human environment
and natural resources and prevent deterioration of economic
and social development.
The UN General Assembly thought that environmental
problems were global in nature and determined that it was in
the common interest of all nations to establish policies for
sustainable development.

2. HOW TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT?
Many of the challenges facing humankind, such as climate
change, water scarcity, inequality and hunger, can only be
resolved at a global level and by promoting sustainable
development: a commitment to social progress, environmental
balance and economic growth.
As a part of a new sustainable development roadmap, the
United Nations approved the 2030 Agenda, which contains
the Sustainable Development Goals, a call to action to protect
the planet and guarantee the global well-being of people. These
common goals require the active involvement of individuals,
businesses, administrations and countries around the world.
