“Treat others as you would have others treat you,” says the golden rule of ethics written in religious and philosophical books and present in various ancient and modern cultures around the world. This old life wisdom is also the basis for one of the first definitions of sustainable development.
It is a concept of the development of human society that expresses respect for others, difference and diversity, nature and the natural resources provided by the planet we live on. We speak of sustainable development when society satisfies all its needs without jeopardizing the possibilities for growth and development of future generations. In doing so, it takes equal account of the economic, socio-social and environmental areas.
It basically means that we want to avoid an excessive focus on material goods and consumerism, reduce the depletion of natural resources and environmental pollution, and ensure equal conditions for a quality life for all generations, including future ones, taking into account differences and cultural differences.
Sustainable development is an idea of the development of human society in which the dangers caused by the focus on quantitative material development through the depletion of natural resources and environmental pollution would be avoided. Sustainable development should also preserve biological diversity. The umbrella concept of sustainable development includes several other aspects, not least the development possibilities of each person or society, as long as it does not harm others.
