Question

What's the definition for: sustainable economy?

Answer 1

There are many definitions for a really sustainable economy - depending on who you are speaking to.

A short definition of sustainability is the management of environmental and resource systems so that their ability to support future generations is not diminished. The term “sustainable development” is more difficult to define, and has given rise to widely different and at times conflicting interpretations. For environmentalists and conservationists it has come to mean the process of development toward a truly sustainable economy that respects environmental and resource limits. But too often others use the term sustainable development as a synonym for sustainable economic growth.
