The environmental dimension of sustainability includes greenhouse gas emissions, impacts on
biodiversity and ecosystems, hazardous waste and toxic emissions, water consumption, and
depletion of non‐renewable resources. Energy sources with low environmental impact are
sometimes called green energy or clean energy. The economic dimension of sustainability covers
economic development, efficient use of energy, and energy security to ensure that each country
has constant access to sufficient energy. Social issues include access to affordable and reliable
energy for all people, workers' rights, and land rights.
