In 1987, the Bruntland Commission published its report, Our Common Future, in an effort to link the issues of economic development and environmental stability. In doing so, this report provided the often-cited definition of sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (United Nations General Assembly, 1987, p. 43). This concept of sustainable development aims to maintain economic advancement and progress while protecting the long-term value of the environment; it “provides a framework for the integration of environment policies and development strategies” (United Nations General Assembly, 1987). However, long before the late 20th century, scholars argued that there need not be a trade-off between environmental sustainability and economic development.
In 2019 the UN Environment’s sixth Global Environment Outlook called on global decision makers to take immediate action to address critical environmental issues and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as other Internationally Agreed Environment Goals, such as the Paris Agreement.
The SDGs aim to shape the action taken by governments and influence the expectations of consumers, communities, and society at large. Businesses have a critical role to play, and those that choose to ignore the SDGs or delay their response may miss the opportunities they present and be more exposed to unwelcome risk.
The women of Nepal are working towards building on a better future for their children and promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is our mission to promote and support those who care for our natural environment. Together we can put an end to poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
