Concept of sustainable development

Defined by the United Nations at the Rio de Janeiro Convention 1992 as the need to achieve the right to development so as to achieve equally the developmental and environmental needs of present and future generations.
It can also be said that it is a sustainable development, stability and sustainability in terms of its use in natural resources, which is taken from environmental balance as an officer, aiming at raising the standard of living in all its aspects while regulating environmental resources and organizing them.

SECRETARY-GENERAL

Human dignity will be “the core of my work,” says UN Secretary-General António Guterres, who took office on 1 January 2017. He believes the world body is uniquely placed to overcome global challenges and achieve sustainable development.

Like his predecessor Ban Ki-moon, Mr. Guterres is a great supporter of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which outline a universal, integrated and transformative vision for a better world.
