Hey there! Are you ready to dive into the exciting world of sustainable development? Let's take a fun and engaging ride through this critical concept that's shaping our world and future.

• Definition: It's like saving a piece of chocolate cake for your future self. Sustainable development meets our needs now without eating the whole cake and leaving none for later.
• Source: United Nations' Brundtland Commission defined it.
• Three Key Aspects
  • Economic Growth: Making money, but responsibly!
  • Social Progress: Everyone should be happy and fulfilled.
  • Environmental Protection: Take care of our planet; it's the only one we've got.

Imagine a three-legged stool; each leg represents one of these aspects. If one is shorter, the stool wobbles

• Now & Later: We have to think about ourselves AND the people in the future (like your little sister or brother).
• Resources: We don’t want to end up with no trees or fish because we were greedy today.
• Equality: It's about being fair to everyone, whether it's sharing toys or wealth, health, education, food, and shelter.

Think of it as a big family dinner, where you make sure everyone gets their fair share, and there's enough left for tomorrow.

The United Nations set 17 super-goals for 2030, like a checklist for saving the world. Here's a selection:

• Goal 1 & 2: No more poverty or hunger (Imagine no one having to go to bed hungry! 😊)
• Goal 13: Climate action (Time to be superheroes for the Earth! 🌍)
• Goal 15: Life on land (Protecting animals like Simba from "The Lion King")

These are for EVERYONE, not just the poor countries. Even rich ones like the USA need to play along.
