Environmentally Sustainable Development (ESD)

Environmentally Sustainable Development (ESD) involves growing and progressing in ways that meet current needs without harming the environment or compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. It balances economic growth, social well-being, and environmental protection by promoting responsible use of resources, reducing pollution, and conserving ecosystems. ESD encourages practices like renewable energy use, waste reduction, and protecting natural habitats, ensuring development benefits both people and the planet now and in the future. It’s about creating a sustainable and equitable world where development respects ecological limits and promotes long-term health and prosperity.
