In this context it is also relevant to understand the politcal inferrence of thi sphrase.
Sustanable development also means that we develop communities, business, economy, technology, etc, etc - but always being aware of natural resources, climate, local education and training, and other factors that will directly impact the development.
In other words, there is no point in developing an industry in an area that will have an adverse effect on the local population/ecosystem/etc, especially if the new industry depends on these local amenities.
By paying careful attention to these links sustainable development should have a positive effect on both areas.

Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
(i.e),Sustainable development is maintaining a delicate balance between the human need to improve lifestyles and feeling of well-being on one hand, and preserving natural resources and ecosystems, on which we and future generations depend.
