Pathfinder - Sustainable Development

Scope Note :

The development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It contains within it two key concepts : the concept of "needs", in particular the essential needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and the idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment's ability to meet present and future needs.
