Sustainable development should be the capacity to improve the standard of living of the current population whilst not compromising the standards of future generations.

yeah... was gonna say 'today's resources' is probs a better term than improving the standard of living. SoL is pretty narrow... what about environment + quality of life...
I remember in my AS exam paper they said SoL and QoL were the same thing and I made a note to the examiner saying they weren't!
they must have thought i was a cocky bastard. hehe.

We started Inequalities in Development today! Spooky! And yep, we're doing Coasts too! :biggrin:

I really don't like coasts much though, it's so yawnalicious. :biggrin:

Almost right, but the last part should read 'without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs', instead. 'Compromising the needs' doesn't quite make sense. :smile:
