Sustainability is broadly defined as meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The term "sustainability", when applied institutionally within a university, is essentially the development of a process or management system that helps to create a vibrant campus economy and high quality of life while respecting the need to sustain natural resources and protect the environment. Sustainable programs are those that result from an institution's commitment to environmental, social and economic health, or the "triple bottom line". Sustainability has both individual and institutional applicability, and is usually a balancing act.

I have never heard that word. However, after I searched the mean I could know that.
These days, some solutions are in our society to support ecosystems.
Sustainabilty is: improving the quality of human life while living within the carrying capacity of supporting eco-systems.
