Bærekraft

Bærekraft is a Norwegian term that translates to “sustainability” in English. It refers to the ability to maintain balance and support for ecosystems, economies, and social structures over time. The concept encompasses the responsible management of resources to ensure that the needs of the present are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This includes considerations of environmental protection, economic viability, and social equity. Bærekraft is often discussed in the context of sustainable development, which aims to promote practices that contribute to long-term ecological health, economic stability, and social justice.
