1. Introduction
Sustainable development originated from the publication of the World Commission on
Environment and Development publication, “Our Common Future” in the late 1980s.
Since then, a growing proportion of the literature has focused on the practice and
principles of sustainable development
2. Definition
Sustainable development has two components: the meaning of development and the
conditions necessary for sustainability
Development implies a process that makes an effort to improve the living conditions of
people
Development is not just about increasing wealth
It means changes in behaviour, aspirations, and the way we understand the world
3. Definition
Economic development does not by itself constitute development
Development includes human and institutional change as well as economic growth
It involves broader concerns of quality of life such as life expectancy, infant mortality,
educational attainment, access to basic freedom, nutritional status, and spiritual status
4. Definition
The emphasis of sustainable development (SD) is also to carry developmental
achievements into the future in such a way that future generations are not left worse off
In the above context, SD is "development which meets the need to the present without
compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs" (WCED
1987: 42)
