This 4-minute video talks about sustainable development: development that meets the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own.
- This solution emerged when the world's social and environmental problems were getting too out of hand.
- The gap between rich and poor countries is widening every day.
- Questions that arise are:
1. How will we feed 9 billion people in 2050?
2. Will we be able to provide:
- clean drinking water
- health care
- education
3. How will we protect biodiversity?
4. How will we survive climate change?
- "Sustainable development means that growth must be accomplished with respect for nature and humankind."
- A company can combine respect for the environment, social equity, and commercial success, and it would profit everyone.
- Keeping a minimalistic mindset is important, which is to only use the things you require most.
