Description

What is international law on sustainable development (or in short, ‘sustainable development law')? Sustainable development is most commonly defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Development can be defined as a collective process of change toward improvements in quality of life for human beings and their communities, and sustainability can be seen to refer to the need for development to be integrated, socially, economically and environmentally sound, oriented to the long-term, and hence, able to last. For the CISDL, the concept of sustainable development, in international law, requires accommodation, reconciliation and integration between economic growth, social justice (including human rights) and environmental protection objectives, towards participatory improvement in collective quality of life for the benefit of both present and future generations.
