One challenge of sustainable development is balancing current needs with long-term environmental and social impacts 

The widely accepted definition of sustainable development is the UN Climate Change Framework (1992) 

The primary goal of sustainable development is to promote rapid economic growth in developing countries.

Sustainable development highlights how businesses often fail to incorporate the full environmental costs of their operations into financial decision-making 

Sustainable development focuses on meeting present needs without compromising future generations’ ability to meet their own needs
