Explanation:

Sustainable development is a concept of economic growth which is part of a long-term perspective and which integrates the constraints linked to the environment and the functioning of society. According to the definition given in the report of the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development, known as the Brundtland report, where this expression first appeared in 1987, "sustainable development is development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own.”

This notion was imposed following the progressive awareness, since the 1970s, of the ecological finitude of the Earth, linked to planetary limits in the long term.
