One implication of not doing so is climate change.<br /> <br /> But the focus of &#039;&#039;&#039;sustainable development&#039;&#039;&#039; is far broader than just the [[environment]]. It&#039;s also about ensuring a strong, healthy and just society. This means meeting the diverse needs of all people in existing and future communities, promoting personal wellbeing, social cohesion and inclusion, and creating equal opportunity&lt;ref name=&quot;SDC&quot; /&gt;.<br /> <br /> Sustainability is the foundation for today’s leading global framework for international cooperation—the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its [[Sustainable Development Goals]] ([[SDGs]]). In June 2022, environmental leaders from around the world met to take stock of where we&#039;ve been and where we are heading, with the goal of galvanizing momentum for the UN Decade of Action for achieving the [[SDGs]]&lt;ref name=&quot;ISD&quot;&gt;[https://www.iisd.org/mission-and-goals/sustainable-development/ International Institute for Sustainable Development&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;</div>
