Sustainability Subcommittee

What is Sustainability?

The definition of sustainability used by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the United Nations comes from a 1987 report by the UN Commission on the Environment and Development. Sustainability, according to the report, is “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” The report establishes three pillars for sustainability and the areas that they encompass:
  • Environmental: Ecosystem services, green engineering and chemistry, air quality, water quality, stressors and resource integrity.
  • Social: Environmental justice, human health, participation, education, resource security and sustainable communities.
  • Economic​: Jobs, incentives, supply and demand, natural resource accounting, costs and prices.
