INTRODUCTION

ETYMOLOGY

What is Sustainability?
Sustenāre (Latin) means "support", "back up", or "care"

It is the capacity to endure or the ability to continue a course

while maintaining a certain variable at a certain rate or level.
Sustainability is achieved when all people on
Earth can live well without compromising the
quality of life for future generations.

Rolf Jucker,
“A Vision for a Sustainable University”

 Sustainability is “a process that helps create a vibrant

economy and a high quality of life, while respecting the need
to sustain natural resources and protect the environment. It
expresses the principle that future generations should live in a
world that the present generation has enjoyed but not
diminished.”

Clough, G. Wayne, Jean-Lou Chameau, and

Carol Carmichael.
“Sustainability and the University.”
The Presidency , winter 2006.

 CONCEPTS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

1713 - Earliest literature regarding the concept of sustainable development meaning "ensuring
forest sustainability"

1980 - the concept of sustainable development originated with the environmental scope.

1987 - the concept of sustainable development gained wide recognition in the international
scientific community after the famous report 'Our common future' (G.H. Brundtland, 1987)

1992 - The idea of sustainable development was initially brought to light during the 1992 Rio "Earth
Summit,"

 DEFINITION OF THE SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT

‘Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the

present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs’ (Brundtland Report, WCED 1987)

Sustainable development calls for concerted efforts towards building an

inclusive, sustainable and resilient future for people and planet.

Sustainable development is a way of organizing society so that it can

exist in the long term while taking into account both the imperatives
present and those of the future, such as the preservation of the
environment and natural resources or social and economic equity.

 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were
adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty,
protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.

The 17 SDGs are integrated—they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes
in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental
sustainability.

 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Final Group Report

 WHY DO WE NEED THE SDGs?
According to, SDSN, Action Agenda Report of 2014.
We are closer to eradicating extreme poverty.
The world and the ecology are being harmed by human cultures more
than ever.
Inequality inside and between nations is growing.
Governance is getting more complicated, particularly with the
expanding role of technology.
To protect our planet from destruction or catastrophe
Maximization of resources.

Final Group Report

 WHY DO WE NEED THE SDGs?
Here are the Facts:
Today, more than 1 billion people live in extreme poverty (less than $1.25 a day).

Today, 8 men have as much wealth as the bottom 3.5 billion poorest people (half the
world population).

In 2017, more than 750 million people went to bed hungry every night and at the same
time, there are approximately 2 billion people that are overweight or obese.

Tens of thousands of species – including 25% of all mammals and 13% of birds – are
now threatened with extinction. This is because of hunting, poaching, pollution, loss of
habitat, the arrival of invasive species, and other human-caused problems.

Today, more than a billion people don’t have access to electricity.

 GLOBALIZATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Globalization has important impacts on the environment, that must be considered in order to
achieve sustainable development. Environmental issues have gained center-stage in economic
analysis and policy-making, and their urgency has opened new opportunities in terms of
technological innovation and entrepreneurship.
Humans must consider equal attention to globalization and sustainable development. Things might
get out of hand if these two are unbalanced. A good example for this is SDG #11 (Sustainable cities
and communities). Cities, communities, or even countries cannot interact with each other without
using sustainable resources. If humans only focus on globalization, resources might experience
scarcity. And if humans only focus on resources, then globalization might weaken.

In conclusion, we must balance our focus on both sides due to an inverse connection between the
two. If one is improving, the other one might fall.
