Sustainable Development (BA)
Columbia University · New York, United States
About this programme
Sustainable development is founded on the premise that human well-being should advance without irreparable harm to ecosystems and the vital services they provide, without depleting essential resources, and without posing risks to future generations. The term sustainable refers to managing the world's economy in a manner consistent with the continued healthy functioning of Earth's ecosystems, oceans, atmosphere and climate. In this context, development refers to continued social, political, and economic progress aimed at improving the well-being of the global community, especially for the poorest people.
