Sustainability refers to the practice of meeting the present generation's needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. It encompasses the responsible and balanced use of resources, environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic prosperity. Sustainable practices aim to minimize negative impacts on the environment, promote social well-being, and ensure long-term economic viability. In the context of climate change, sustainability often focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, transitioning to renewable energy sources, conserving natural resources, promoting biodiversity, and addressing social and economic inequality.
