What is sustainable development?
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Sustainable development calls for a concerted effort towards building an inclusive, sustainable
and resilient future for people and planet.
For sustainable development to be achieved, it is crucial to harmonize three core elements:
economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection. These elements are
interconnected and all are crucial for the well-being of individuals and societies.
Eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions is indispensable for sustainable development:
promote sustainable, inclusive and equitable economic growth
creating greater opportunities for all
reducing inequalities
raising basic standards of living
fostering equitable social development and inclusion
promoting integrated and sustainable management of natural resources and ecosystems
How to define sustainability?
"The term 'sustainability' should be viewed as humanitys target goal
of human-ecosystem equilibrium (homeostasis), while 'sustainable
development' refers to the holistic approach and temporal processes
that lead us to the end point of sustainability."
Despite increased use of the term "sustainability", the possibility that
human societies will achieve environmental sustainability has been
questioned due to environmental degradation, climate change,
overconsumption, population growth and societies' pursuit of
unlimited economic growth in a closed system.
Leaving no one behind
As we embark on this great collective journey, we pledge
that no one will be left behind. Recognizing that the dignity
of the human person is fundamental, we wish to see the
Goals and targets met for all nations and peoples and for all
segments of society. And we will endeavour to reach the
furthest behind first. (from the Preamble to Transforming
our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development)

Localizing the SDGs

.the localization of the 2030 Agenda is not


the implementation of a global or national
agenda at local level; but rather building
adequate conditions at local level to achieve
the global goals. [40].
Why localize?

A FACE in development work

Real action and evidence of progress


happening on the ground

Broadens and deepens ownership

Builds a strong constituency to ensure


continuous support
