What is Sustainability?
Development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
The Brundtland Commission, 1983
Sustainability is not a fixed state of harmony, but rather a process of change in which, the exploitation of resources, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development and institutional change are made consistent with future as well as present needs.
Brundtland Report, Our Common Future, 1987
For in the final analysis, our most basic common link, is that we
all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air, we all
cherish our children's futures, and we are all mortal.
John F Kennedy, speech at The American University, Washington DC, 1963
