00:00.000 --> 00:05.320
Principles of Sustainable Development

00:05.320 --> 00:13.840
Sustainable development is all about progress that doesn't sacrifice tomorrow for today.

00:13.840 --> 00:18.760
It's a commitment to meeting our needs now without compromising the future, but what does

00:18.760 --> 00:20.240
that really mean?

00:20.240 --> 00:27.200
It's built on three pillars, economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection.

00:27.200 --> 00:32.440
These are the core areas we need to balance to achieve true sustainability.

00:32.440 --> 00:36.880
The Principles guiding sustainable development are equally important.

00:36.880 --> 00:42.960
First, intergenerational equity, ensuring future generations inherit the resources they

00:42.960 --> 00:43.960
need.

00:43.960 --> 00:51.360
Second, an integrated approach, balancing our economic, social, and environmental goals.

00:51.360 --> 00:54.160
And finally, inclusivity.

00:54.160 --> 01:00.760
Making sure everyone, especially marginalized groups, has a voice in the development process.

01:00.760 --> 01:06.160
By embracing these principles, we can build a future that's not just sustainable, but

01:06.160 --> 01:09.280
thriving for everyone.

01:09.280 --> 01:12.840
