What are the difference between sustainable development and human rights?

Sustainability refers to a human economy and society whose cumulative effects do not crash the biosphere-the planet's life support "operating" system and primary economy, that is, do not violate the ecological integrity of the biosphere. Sustainable development refers to the economic and societal development path to get from the unsustainable human economy we have now to ultimate sustainability. Although it is possible to imagine a sustainable economy that does not respect human rights, it is unlikely that a sustainable society could be based on any structural and systematic violation of human rights. In addition, many instances of unsustainable practices are driven, in the first instance, by human rights violations, that is barriers to people meeting their human needs or otherwise degrading peoples' health and well-being. It is also unlikely that the society that would perpetuate structural and systematic human rights violations could conceive of the threats and challenges of sustainability in a way sufficient for generating a development path to sustainability success. Sustainable development and sustainability will require both tapping the collective intelligence of all people, cultures, and ethnicity and their transformation for sustainability. This is impossible without the condition of human rights for all. In fact, it could be summarized that as ecological integrity is the cornerstone of a sustainable economy, human-rights integrity is the cornerstone of a sustainable society served by that sustainable economy. Thus, human rights can be seen as the social dimension and integral component of the ecologic-economic integrity required for sustainable development and ultimate sustainability.

What is the importance of sustainable development?

Sustainable development helps us (humans) in a few ways. As the theory goes, sustainable development is development that gives a quality of life for the present while not comprimising future generations of resources. A lot of people say that Sustainable development has a vague definition, but in the end it makes sense. Basically By solving environmental problems which requires working from the bottom up: Locally, Nationally, and internationally. By solving environmental problems and working together you are reducing poverty and helping out the economy (from the bottom up). So the idea is that these things: Environment, Poverty, and the economy are all interconnected and relate to each other and that solving one solves all. from liberalist theory this helps us (humanity) because generally people want to help the environment, reduce poverty, and have the economy in a "good" place. However coming from realist theory they might that it doesnt help us that we need poverty for the economy to be good. they would say that the rich do what they can and the poor suffer what they must.
