		Sustainable development is a process of developing (land, cities, business, communities, etc) that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" according to the Brundtland Report, a 1987 report from the United Nations.
		The idea of sustainable development became a widespread concern when enough people concluded that the current path of human activity was unsustainable in the long term and changes in human society were needed.
		Sustainable Development is often an over-used word, but goes to the heart of tackling a number of inter-related global issues such as poverty, inequality, hunger and environmental degradation.

		It requires the development of enlightened institutions and infrastructure and appropriate management of risks, uncertainties, and information and knowledge imperfections to assure intergenerational equity, and intra-generational equity, all in support of enhanced human capital and conservation of the ability of earth's natural systems to serve humankind.
		This can lead to improper developments in science, which can develop through research, education, and training into a profession in which people are encouraged to compete by drawing as much and as quickly as possible from nature.
