Preservation of resources – What are we leaving behind for our children?
Decoupling – How efficiently are we using our natural resources?

Is Switzerland on the road to sustainable development?
In order to determine this, we must ask ourselves four important questions:
Meeting needs
How well do we live?
From a sustainable development perspective, it is necessary that we seek to satisfy our needs within the limits of what the environment can withstand.
