Meaning of Sustainable development for Aruba integration of all the individual parts
• For Aruba sustainable development is:• about developing our economy and ensuring that everyone can benefit
from this. • At the same time, it is about our society, our culture and our environment. • It is about the connections between our quality of life and housing, open
space, transport, education, crime-prevention, health; now and in the future.
• The decisions, choices and the actions of today impact both us and our future generations.
• Sustainable development recognizes the need for integrated decision-making.
• Social, economic, and environmental factors all impact any given decision and in turn every decision has social, economic and environmental impacts
• Awareness of these linkages is vital to responsible decision-making
