Sustainable development is about meeting the needs of people today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It means using resources like water, energy, and food in ways that do not harm the environment, allowing both people and nature to thrive for many years. Sustainable development aims to balance economic growth, social equality, and environmental care. This includes activities like recycling, using renewable energy like wind or solar power, and protecting animal habitats. Overall, it's about making smart choices now to ensure a healthy planet and society in the future. The United Nations set out 15 Sustainable Development Goals to encourage a sustainable future, including no poverty, zero hunger, and climate action, to name just a few.
