# Sustainable Development Sustainable development is a strategic framework aimed at fostering growth and progress in a manner that balances economic, social, and environmental imperatives. It seeks to advance human well-being while ensuring that natural ecosystems are preserved and resources are used responsibly for future generations. The approach mandates an integrated methodology, combining policy, community participation, and technological innovation to achieve long-term viability. In this context, data serves as a critical tool, enabling the identification and monitoring of key sustainability indicators. It supports the formulation and assessment of policies aligned with sustainable development goals, facilitating evidence-based decision-making and strategic planning.
