Just Sustainability is more refined concept of sustainability.
Just Sustainability is “the egalitarian conception of sustainable development"(Jacobs, 1999:32)[1]. It generates an improved definition of sustainable development as “the need to ensure a better quality of life for all, now and into the future, in a just and equitable manner, whilst living within the limits of supporting ecosystems” (Agyeman, et al., 2003:5)[2]. This new form of sustainable development prioritizes justice and equity, while maintaining the importance of the environment and the global life support system.
