Sustainability

What is sustainability?

"Sustainability is a search for ecological stability and human progress that can last over the long term".

In 1987, Gro Harlem Brundtland, former Director General of the World Health Organization, noted in a report by the World Commission on our Environment and Development entitled, "Our Common Future", that,

"Sustainable development is meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."

What can you do to help Valencia embrace and expand on its sustainability efforts?

We have accomplished a lot in recent years, but none of it would be possible without contributors and volunteers like yourself. The benefits to future generations depend upon the contribution of current generations.
