What is Sustainable Development ?

Dr. Alfredo Sfeir-Younis's 2011 work, What is Sustainable Development? offers a profound redefinition of sustainable development, moving beyond materialistic metrics like GNP/GDP to anchor the concept in ethical and spiritual imperatives. The discourse emphasizes that true sustainability is a way of life defined by interdependence, intergenerational equity, and long-term planning, urging a transcendence of purely economic growth in favor of non-material factors like happiness and security. Achieving global justice and ecological balance requires prioritizing these values, revaluing Indigenous Knowledge (metaphorically, "burning the library"), and essentially integrating Feminine Energy (love, compassion, solidarity) into decision-making as a prerequisite for capacity building.
