The Brundtland Commission report defined sustainable development as "development that meets the needs of current generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". However, some journals argue that relationships between science, society and politics can advance consumers' understanding of the definition and practice of sustainable development. Ironically, the essence of sustainable development is to address two concerns. The first is the concern to maintain, if not improve, living conditions. This includes meeting needs and aspirations, protecting the planet, providing a better quality of life, and the list goes on. Another concern is to pass on an acceptable legacy to future generations. This is expressed in terms of not compromising the future, leaving a legacy in good order, refraining from burdening future generations. In fact, we can further understand the concept of sustainable development by looking at three dimensions which are environmental, social and economic. Nowadays, environmental protection is one of the fundamental values ​​of sustainable development. Environmental degradation occurs when there is deterioration of the natural environment, including the atmosphere, water, soil and forests. These environmental problems result in shortages of food, clean water, shelter materials, and other essential resources. People, especially the poor who depend on gradually degrading natural resources such as forests, land, air and water, will be the most affected as their food supplies and other resources will be damaged. Eradicating poverty through achieving equitable and sustainable development without environmental detriment becomes a matter of consumption in development.

Analysts have made two important observations regarding current growth patterns. The first is that, as emerging economies continue to grow, most of the wealth is accumulated in the hands of a few wealthy individuals, leading to great inequality in society. The second is that economic growth increases the well-being of society, but only to the extent that it satisfies people's primary needs. Beyond this, growth makes no marginal contribution to well-being, despite having harmful impacts on the environment. Therefore, sustainable development must certainly take into account the economic dimensions that support how people can create wealth without harming ecosystems.
