There are three categories of sustainability:
Environmental Sustainability
Ecological integrity is maintained, all of earth’s environmental

their independence and have access to the resources that they
require, financial and other, to meet their needs. Economic

Universal human rights and basic necessities are attainable
by all people, who have access to enough resources in order
to keep their families and communities healthy and secure.
Healthy communities have just leaders who ensure personal,
labour and cultural rights are respected and all people are
protected from discrimination
