However, the most cited and classic statement used to define sustainable development is derived from the 1987 Brundland Commission report which states that.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.\u2019 (Brundtland, 1987:43)<\/p>\n<p>One of the most common misconceptions derived from this definition is that the concept relates solely to the environment. Whilst this is a core premise of sustainable development, the concept is also about ensuring a peaceful and healthy world. This connotes links to societal justice which is an important dynamic of sustainable development. It is ultimately concerned with wellbeing, social cohesion, inclusion and the creation of equal opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Following on from the millennium development goals and their shortfalls, the United Nations has established 17 goals to be met by 2030 which relate to industry, innovation and infrastructure, gender equality, zero hunger, no poverty, climate action, affordable and clean energy and responsible consumption and production.<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>Vogler (2008) \u2018Environmental Issues\u2019 In J.
