Overview
Sustainability refers to the ability to maintain a system or process over a long period of time, considering the environmental, economic, and social dimensions. It guides decisions at various levels, from global to individual, and is closely related to the concept of sustainable development. As noted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and supported by experts like Gro Harlem Brundtland, sustainability is crucial for addressing key environmental problems such as climate change and biodiversity loss, which are also concerns for organizations like the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
