What is Sustainability?

Meeting the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

UN Sustainable Development Goals

In 2016, the UN presented 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The goals embody the meaning of sustainability by concentrating efforts in three critical areas: economy, society, and environment. Sustainability is not isolated to saving energy or cleaning the air—it is prevalent across sectors and across societies.
