This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to sustainability, examining the complex relationships among environmental, economic, and socio-cultural systems across a wide range of industries. Moving beyond a narrow focus on environmental protection, it emphasizes the interconnected nature of the three pillars of sustainability and the importance of balancing resource management, economic development, and social equity. As global population growth, resource scarcity, and climate change place increasing pressure on natural and human systems, sustainability has become a critical framework for decision making in both public and private sectors. This text explores how a variety of industries, such as energy, agriculture, tourism, healthcare, fashion, and policy contribute to sustainability challenges and solutions, highlighting both the opportunities and trade-offs involved in pursuing long term resilience.
