Sustainability

Sustainability or being sustainable is the ability to continue over a long period of time. In modern usage it generally refers to a state in which the environment, economy, and society will continue to exist over a long period of time. Many definitions emphasize the environmental dimension.

This can include addressing key environmental problems, such as climate change and biodiversity loss.
The idea of sustainability can guide decisions at the global, national, organizational, and individual levels.
A related concept is that of sustainable development, and the terms are often used to mean the same thing.
