Abstract

Sustainability has become a common term and concept in our society because of the effects of climate change that are being experienced on a wider scale. To understand this concept, this chapter explores the three major pillars of sustainability, primary goals of environmental sustainability, social development, economic development, and environmental protection as well as their applications and major steps required for maintaining a sustainable economy. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are used as one of the case studies for understanding the three pillars and the concept of sustainability. The other case studies used are the Green School in Bali, spiritual ecology, and Grameen Bank while Mohammed Yunus is explored as one of the major contributors to social and economic development. This is one of the most important chapters of the book since it explores a concept that is central to the going green movement. Because of this significance, future trends are examined to paint an image of the outlooks of sustainability.
