:Slovak term: [[Slovenský termín]]
# Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs ( UN 1987).

==Explanation==
Agenda 21, the blueprint for sustainable development in the 21st century, was agreed at
the UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro 1992. It clearly
identifies information, integration, and participation as key building blocks to help
countries achieve development that recognises three interdependent pillars: economic
development, social development, and environmental protection. It emphasises that in
sustainable development everyone is a user and provider of information. It stresses the
need to change from old sector-centred ways of doing business to new approaches that
involve cross- sectoral co-ordination and the integration of environmental and social
concerns into all development processes. Furthermore, Agenda 21 emphasises that broad
public participation in decision making is a fundamental prerequisite for achieving
sustainable development (UN 1987).
