What is sustainability

Sustainability is a fundamental concept within ecology and consists of meeting and satisfying the needs of today without jeopardizing the ability of the next generations to achieve the satisfaction of theirs, that is, without risking the resources of the future. Sustainability aims to guarantee the balance between caring for the environment, social well-being and economic growth. The sustainable development is fundamentally based on this concept to protect the natural environment and guarantee everyone access to the same opportunities.

From sustainability, specific concepts are born, such as environmental sustainability, to preserve biodiversity without giving up the economy and the social area; social sustainability that seeks to unite society with environmental care and economic stability and economic sustainability that aims to make environmental and social sustainability profitable.
