‘Sustainability: Definition & its implications’ The word ‘sustainability’ has always inspired many ongoing debates among leaders, philosophers, researchers etc. These days it has become more like a stamp of approval.

So I chose studies in this area because I believe sustainability is a priority when it comes to the future wellbeing and
The definition of sustainability is the ability to support a long term ecological balance while not harming the environment or depleting its natural resources. According to Robert Goodland and his essay “The Case that the world has reached limits” the world is currently being run unsustainably, “being fueled by inherited fossil fuels is the best single example” (Goodland 602). Fossil fuels are non renewable gases and oils and we are using them to provide 60 percent of the global energy, because of
