My view of sustainability:
Sustainability is an ambiguous concept starting with the basic definition of sustainable development invented by Gro Harlem Bruntland in 1987 in the document "Our common future". According to this document sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the needs of the future generations to meet their needs. This definition is very anthropocentric therefore I prefer definitions which contain also environmental aspect.
In my view all the aspects needto be harmonbised. Development should be socially equitable, economically viable and environmentally friendly.
