What Is Sustainability?

Sustainability is the most accurate and aspired way of life.

Sustainability is both a simple and complex concept. It is simple from a broader lens, but it gets complicated and convoluted as one starts to move closer. Mainly sustainability focuses on meeting the immediate needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their needs. You might think it is merely environmentalism, but BIG NO, it is not just that it expands way beyond the scope of the environment and human. Sustainability is involved in all major disciplines, from politics to economics, philosophy to engineering, and other hard and social sciences.

Or as UN WCED _UN World Commission on Environment and Development defines it:

"sustainable development is a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs."

Sustainability is a progressive discipline, giving humankind an insight into most aspects of the human world. In the modern world, sustainability's core focus areas are carbon reduction from the environment and discovering and developing future technologies that promote resource efficiency and have a smaller carbon foot print.

Some also say that definition of "sustainability" is merely a knowledge of how natural systems function, remain diverse, and produce everything it needs to stay in balance.

While they also acknowledge that human civilization takes resources to sustain our modern way of life, throughout human history, there are countless examples where culture has damaged its environment and seriously affected its survival chances.

Sustainability examines how we might live compatibly with the natural world around us, preserving it from deterioration, damage, and dying.
