Sustainable development is commonly defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This concept is based on three interconnected pillars: economic sustainability (promoting development and growth), social sustainability (ensuring equity and well-being), and environmental sustainability (protecting natural resources and ecosystems). Balancing these three aspects is the core objective.
