“Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. The Brundtland Report has shaped how we think of sustainable development since 1987, though its definition has evolved since then – and continues to do so. Currently, global efforts are focused on meeting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which aim to meet important targets to improve global living standards and promote sustainability in 17 different areas: poverty, hunger, health, education, gender, water, energy, work, industry, inequality, cities, consumption, climate, oceans, land, peace and cooperation. The latest news and stories from sectors such as economy & business, energy and mobility, without forgetting architecture & cities, mobilising and working together to achieve the ambitious goals set for 2030.
