Sustaining Life for Future Generation

Sustainability is the ability to maintain a certain status or process in existing systems. The
most frequent use of the term sustainability is connected to biological or human systems. The
ability of an ecosystem to function and maintain productivity for a prolonged period is also
sustainability. Living a sustainable lifestyle is one way to help. Sustainable development is a
roadmap, the action plan, for achieving sustainability in any activity that uses resources and
where immediate and intergenerational replication is demanded. As such, sustainable
development is the organizing principle for sustaining finite resources necessary to provide for
the needs of future generations of life on the planet. It is a process that envisions a desirable
future state for human societies in which living conditions and resource-use continue to meet
human needs without undermining the integrity, stability, and beauty of natural systems.
The practice of maintaining processes of productivity indefinitely whether natural or
human madeby replacing resources used with resources of equal or greater value without
degrading or endangering natural systems. Sustainability is a function of social, economic,
technological and ecological themes. Sustainable development ties together concern for the
carrying capacity of natural systems with the social, political, and economic challenges faced by
humanity. The concept of sustainability was employed to describe an economy in equilibrium
with basic ecological support systems. Scientists in many fields and economists have presented
alternatives to address concerns over the impacts of expanding human development on the
planet. The development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs, identified principles and treaties on sustainable
development, including economic development, social development and environmental
protection.
A spectrum of challenges and solutions to sustaining development in a way that would
leave no one behind, there are ways to improve the conversation between science and policy,
shaping the lives of present and future generations, promoting genuine and durable partnerships,
and building resilience during special situations. The sciencepolicy aimed to make available the
findings of a wide range of scientific assessments. It did not ask participating scientists to make
normative policy recommendations, but rather sought to create an evidence base for decision
makers. There was comprehensive or authoritative strategies on global progress and charted
future pathways, and which took into account the perspective of the global scientific
communities. The need to eliminate poverty and feed, nurture, house, educate and employ the
global population, as well as preserve the earths basic life-support systems, and it sketched an
alternative sustainable path forward to achieve a sustainability transition. It also identified the
estimates of the global investments needed to achieve the transition; stressed the importance of
global cooperation to develop, transfer and disseminate environmentally sound technologies; and
identified the challenge of measuring progress in the absence of agreed goals.
The formulation of sustainable development goals should be informed by measuring and
making progress. Scientific technological innovation would contribute substantially, advocating
for the creation of innovative capacities in every country. A crowd-sourcing approach for
gathering ideas was also useful in terms of keeping pace with emerging issues, adding that the
world was awash in information critical to sustainable development goals. Ideas and trends that
can shape the lives of present and future generations, it was grandchildren who mattered in
stressing the imperative of a sense of fairness between generations. The actions of present and
past generations affected the environment and economy of future ones, citing as an example that
if a species was lost through actions or lack of them, that loss was not likely to be recovered.
The ecological sustainability of human settlements is part of the relationship between humans
and their natural, social and built environments. Also termed human ecology, this broadens the
focus of sustainable development to include the domain of human health. Fundamental human
needs such as the availability and quality of air, water, food and shelter are also the ecological
foundations for
