[1] The social pillar focuses on initiatives that support social issues like healthcare, education, and community development. [2] The economic pillar aims for long-term economic viability while considering environmental and social factors. [3] The environmental pillar involves regulations and tools to manage resources, waste, emissions, water, and land use. Together these three dimensions form the basis of sustainable development.

    What is sustainable development
    Sustainability focuses on meeting the needs
    of the present without compromising the ability
    of future generations to meet their needs
    What Are The Three Pillars Of
    Sustainability?
     The three pillars of sustainability are the environment, social, and
    the economy, those were first mentioned in the 
    Brundtland report in 1987. Sustainable development is built on top
    of those 3 pillars because it can be achieved only when
    environmental protection, social equity, and economic profitability
    coexist without one area taking over any of the others.
    Three pillar of sustainable development

     The social , Economic , and environmental


    The social

     The social pillar refers to initiatives, public policies, planning, and regulations


    supporting social issues. These include things such as fighting poverty, social justice,
    peace, promoting diversity, quality of living, access to healthcare, education,
    community development, cultural heritage, and some aspects of religion.
    More in detail, the main aspects of this type of sustainability are:

    Peace, security, and human rights are very important components of social


    sustainability, this is because wars, crime, and unethical practices are not only
    wasting valuable resources in destructive activities but are also ultimately bad for the
    environment. Just think about all the pollutants dispersed into the environment during
    wars or from factories using unethical practices.
    Access to healthcare is a central point of the social principle. Many health-related
    issues are interconnected with the environment and economic aspects in general. For
    example, in agriculture, green improvements are also helping to improve health-
    related conditions. Finally, the World Health Organization is going as far as
    considering sustainability impossible to achieve without taking care also of health-
    related issues.
    Poverty and social justice: poverty and lack of social justice are also not allowing
    societies to make long-term plans, ultimately reducing human wellbeing while also
    hurting the environment.
    Influence of religion and culture: cultural sustainability deals with beliefs, religion,
    and heritage conservation. Cultural aspects are without a doubt one of the drivers that
    can help to enable sustainable development. In this respect, recent years saw some
    important contributions on the religious side that helped to attract more attention to
    the topic: with both the Dalai Lama and Pope Francis calling for more responsibility
    in fighting ecological degradation and preserving the ecosystems.
    Economic

     The economic pillar of sustainability is essential for


    the business’s existence: a business needs to be
    economically viable to be sustainable. At the same
    time, a sustainable business should look at
    profitability as just one component of the company’s
    strategy.
    Important points

     A conscious business leader aiming at sustainability should


    encourage a more balanced culture, where also the social and
    environmental factors are taken into consideration together
    with profitability and economic sustainability
     Keeping in mind the limits of the planet’s resources is key,
    especially considering that the current economic model is still
    based on “infinite” exponential growth.
     Unfortunately, often the limited resources available in the
    environment are not factored in: this is the main problem faced
    when trying to achieve long-term economic sustainability. There
    can’t be long-term economic growth if we deplete all the
    available natural resources.
    Environmental

     The environmental involves regulations, laws, and other tools


    used to deal with environmental facts and issues such as the
    management of land, freshwater, oceans, forests, air, natural
    resources, and wildlife.
     The other approach is to manage the demand side of resources
    coming from human activities. This involves things such as:
    • Waste management: moving away from a linear model (where the
    materials end up in a landfill) and promoting a circular path, where
    recycling is used as much as possible to harness its benefits.
    • Freshwater: efficiency is improved by upgrading infrastructure and
    using new green technologies especially in agriculture. Managing also the
    demand side, by educating the public on the use of this precious and
    limited resource.
    • Reducing CO2 emissions: by making extensive use of renewable
    sources, improving efficiency, and upgrading to new technologies.
    • Cities: proper planning of the urban spaces and infrastructure can help to
    achieve more sustainable lifestyles.
    Action taken by UNITED NATION
    The Sustainable Development Agenda

     17 Goals for People, for Planet


     The Sustainable Development Goals are a universal call to
    action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives
    and prospects of everyone, everywhere. The 17 Goals were
    adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, as part of the 
    2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which set out a
    15-year plan to achieve the Goals.
     Today, progress is being made in many places, but, overall,
    action to meet the Goals is not yet advancing at the speed or
    scale required. 2020 needs to usher in a decade of ambitious
    action to deliver the Goals by 2030.
