Sustainability is important for development because it ensures that economic progress is achieved in harmony with environmental protection, social equity, and ethical considerations. It seeks to create a future where human societies can thrive within the ecological limits of the planet. Sustainable development ensures that natural resources are used in a way that meets current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable development aims to minimize environmental degradation and pollution.
