Sustainability is meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs while sustainable develpoment is a process of achievement of individual human and social potential that protects and where necessary regenerates the natural environment rather than destroying it. Is sustainability an important issue and to what extend that they are necessary...?

Sooner or later we will be forced to live in a sustainable manner. My guess is that we won't do it until there is no other option. We won't stop depending on oil until it runs out for example.

Imagine the world has turned into a herd of buffalos, in a stampede heading for the edge of a cliff . . . That is how important the issue of sustainability is.
Out of what may survive, there might be know how and will to start in a different way !

Those are terms used by politicians as a cover up for your worst nightmare. There is an official agenda in DC that our natural rescources will never run out and the biblical injuction to "have dominion over all nature's bounty" provides the motivation to turn the land over to 'developers' whose whole life is PROFIT.
The only way to prevent this is to stop the increase of our numbers. Good luck getting THAT passed!

Sustainability is real. In the UK Tony Blair once referred to it as a matter of security. He was not wrong! If we ignore the facts, we are doomed. Wake up and listen world!
