health and environmental consequences, emphasizing the need for equitable energy
development and investment in sustainable alternatives.
Sustainable technology
Sustainable development emphasizes the use of technology to meet developmental needs,

factors, with none being more important than the others.
The 3-overlapping circles model
This model acknowledges the interconnectedness of economic, environmental, and social
factors but allows for some dominance of one factor over the others. It suggests that, for
example, the economy might be more dominant than the environment in some societies, while
the environment might be more dominant in others.
The 3-nested dependencies model
This model emphasizes the co-dependence of economic, environmental, and social factors. It
suggests that the environment is a necessary foundation for society, and society is a necessary
foundation for the economy. This model highlights the interconnectedness of all three factors
and emphasizes the importance of considering the impact of each on the others.
