Sustainable Development

Sustainable development is the development of mankind in a way and manner that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

The topic of sustainable development is undoubtedly the greatest challenge that humanity has ever faced. We will have to draw from the richest veins of wisdom of humanity's diverse past and present to achieve sustainability and hence survival of the human race.

Sustainability requires profound change within human beings themselves.

3MFuture commits resources to educate for sustainable development, to research and to disseminate new insight in the dynamics of sustainability and to effective utilisation of information technology for the purpose of sustainable development.

Please browse our section Resources for Sustainable Development for further information and insight.

When human beings strive for enhanced life conditions
without diminishing the meaning of life itself
- namely our children's future -
we call this development sustainable.

Anything that has not inherent
to harm people that come after us.
