Editor's Notes
sustainability Refers to maintaining
the ability of the environment and the
economy to continue to produce and
satisfy needs and wants into the future;
depends crucially on the preservation
of the environment over time.
Related to the concept of sustainable
development, meaning ‘Development
which meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own
needs’ (according to the Brundtland
Commission), which is the idea that the
use of natural resources in the present
should not leave behind fewer or lower
quality resources for use by future
generations.
