About
Sustainability
Sustainability is a societal goal that relates to the ability of people to safely co-exist on a
Globe over a long time. Specific definitions of sustainability are difficult to agree on and
have varied with literature, context, and time. Sustainability is commonly described as having
three dimensions:
environmental, economic, and social. Many publications state that the environmental
dimension is the most important.
For this reason, in everyday use, “sustainability” is often focused on countering major
environmental problems, such as climate change, loss of biodiversity, loss of ecosystem
services, land degradation, and air and water pollution. The concept of sustainability can be
used to guide decisions at the global, national, and individual levels.
It has been around for years...
The term sustainability is derived from the Latin word sustinere. “To sustain” can mean to maintain, support, uphold, or endure. So sustainability is the ability to continue over a long period of time. In the past, sustainability referred to environmental sustainability. It meant using natural resources so that people in the future could continue to rely on them in the long term.
The concept of sustainability, or Nachhaltigkeit in German, goes back to Hans Carl von Carlowitz (1645–1714), and applied to forestry. We would now call this sustainable forest management.
He used this term to mean the long-term responsible use of a natural resource. In his 1713 work Sylvicultura oeconomica, he wrote that “the highest art/science/industriousness will consist in such a conservation and replanting of timber that there can be a continuous, ongoing and sustainable use.”
The idea itself goes back a very long time: Communities have always worried about the capacity of their environment to sustain them in the long term. Many ancient cultures,
traditional societies, and indigenous peoples have restricted the use of natural resources.
