Human Development Report 2011: “Sustainability and Equity: A Better Future for All”

Since 1990 the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) publishes reports on Human Development annually. The 2011 report, titled “Sustainability and Equity: A Better Future for All,” shows the relationships between social justice and sustainability, giving the latter term a broader definition than merely environmental. As the report states, “Sustainable development implies the expansion of fundamental liberties of the current generations, while at the same time making reasonable efforts to avoid the risk of severely compromising the liberties of future generations.”
