QUESTION 1
1.1 Definition of Sustainable Development (5)
Sustainable development refers to development that meets the needs of the present generation
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This definition was
provided by the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) in 1987. Sustainable
development is central to Development Studies because it promotes economic growth, social equality,
and environmental protection at the same time. It encourages countries to use natural resources
responsibly, reduce poverty, and improve the quality of life for people in both present and future
generations. Development Studies focuses on how societies can achieve long-term progress without
damaging the environment or increasing inequality.
