Environmental Sustainability, What is Environmental
Sustainability?
There is no simple definition of ‘sustainability’.
However, most definitions include:
living within the limits of what the environment can
provide
understanding the many interconnections between
economy,
society and the environment
the equal distribution of resources and opportunities
[www.environment.nsw.gov.au]
, The Commissioner of Environmental Sustainability Victoria state
that: “Environmental sustainability is the ability to maintain the
qualities that are valued in the physical environment”.
For example, most people want to sustain [maintain]:
human life
the capabilities that the natural environment has to maintain the
living conditions for people and other species [eg. clean water and
air, a suitable climate]
the aspects of the environment that produce renewable resources
such as water, timber, fish, solar energy]
the functioning of society, despite non-renewable resource
depletion
the quality of life for all people, the livability and beauty of the
environment.
Threats to these aspects of the environment mean that there is a
risk that these things will not be maintained.
