Sustainable development is based on the principle that human prosperity should progress without causing irreversible damage to ecosystems and their critical functions, without exhausting key resources, and without endangering future generations. Sustainability means operating the global economy in ways that maintain the proper functioning of Earth's ecosystems, oceans, atmosphere, and climate systems. Here, development signifies ongoing advancement in social, political, and economic spheres to enhance global welfare, particularly for the most disadvantaged populations.
