How does Estidama define sustainability?

Estidama defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This definition emphasizes a holistic approach to development that ensures resource availability and environmental integrity for years to come. It encapsulates the essence of sustainability, balancing economic, social, and environmental dimensions. By focusing on this principle, Estidama aims to promote responsible planning and development that supports current lifestyles while safeguarding vital resources and ecosystems.

The other options do not align with the core tenets of sustainability. Focusing solely on economic gains for current generations neglects the long-term implications of resource use. Resolving only local environmental issues ignores the interconnectedness of global ecosystems and the need for a comprehensive approach to environmental stewardship. Prioritizing development over conservation conflicts with the sustainability ideal, as it would likely lead to the depletion of resources and degradation of natural habitats, adversely affecting future generations.
