SD a process of reconciliation of three main imperatives:
Ecological imperative to live within global biophysical
carrying capacity and to maintain biodiversity,
Social imperative to ensure the development of democratic

social needs and welfare, and economic opportunity are
integrally related to the environmental limits imposed by
supporting ecosystems
