Climate change & Sustainability

Sustainability can also be defined as a socio-ecological process characterized by the pursuit of a common ideal, An ideal is by definition unattainable in a given time and space. However, by persistently and dynamically approaching it, the process results in a sustainable system. The study of ecology believes that sustainability is achieved through the balance of species and the resources within their environment. In order to maintain this equilibrium, available resources must not be depleted faster than resources are naturally generated.
