Sustainable Development

Job Description

Sustainable development is founded on the premise that human well-being should advance without irreparable harm to ecosystems and the vital services they provide, without depleting essential resources, and without posing risks to future generations. The term “sustainable” refers to managing the world’s economy in a manner consistent with the continued healthy functioning of Earth’s ecosystems, oceans, atmosphere and climate. In this context, “development” refers to continued social, political, and economic progress aimed at improving the well-being of the global community, especially for the poorest people.
