Sustainability

Sostenibilidad

Sustainability is different things to different people, and to different groups of people.

  • To an ecologist, sustainability is the ability of ecosystems, such as a lake ecosystem, to maintain its structure and function and to remain resilient in order to continue to give and support life.
  • To an economist, sustainability is the ability of the market to optimally allocate scarce resources, to send proper price signals, to provide a mechanism for investment, and to maintain a healthy labour market.
  • To a sociologist, sustainability is the ability of individuals and communities to remain in good health physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, and ensure equity among and between generations.

  • Para un economista, es la capacidad del mercado de asignar óptimamente los recursos escasos, transmitir señales adecuadas de los precios, proporcionar un mecanismo de inversión y mantener un mercado de trabajo robusto.
