SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT  SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Sustainable development is a multifaceted concept that aims to balance economic growth, social well-being, and environmental protection for present and future generations. It recognizes the interconnectedness of these three pillars and emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to development that addresses the needs of all people while safeguarding the planet's resources.  FEATURES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Sustainable development is characterized by several key features that guide its implementation and impact: 1) Universality Sustainable development applies to all countries, regardless of their level of development. It recognizes that the challenges of poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation are global in scope and require collaborative solutions. This universality underscores the interconnectedness of the world and the shared responsibility of all nations to contribute to a sustainable future.  FEATURES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 2 Integration Sustainable development emphasizes the need to integrate economic, social, and environmental considerations into all aspects of development planning and decision-making. This integration ensures that economic growth is not achieved at the expense of social well-being or environmental sustainability. It also recognizes that progress in one area can positively impact other areas, creating a virtuous cycle of sustainable development.  FEATURES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 3 Transformation Sustainable development requires a fundamental shift in how we think about and approach development. It challenges traditional models of economic growth that prioritize short-term profits over long-term sustainability. This transformation involves adopting new technologies, changing consumption patterns, and promoting equitable access to resources and opportunities.  17 Sustainable Development Goals SDG 17 is a vision for improved and more equitable trade, as well as coordinated investment initiatives to promote sustainable development across borders.
