A sustainability assessment is a process of evaluating the impact of human activities on the natural environment and assessing whether those activities are sustainable in the long run. It involves examining factors such as the use of natural resources, greenhouse gas emissions, waste generation, and social impacts, and determining the extent to which these activities can continue without causing harm to the environment or compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. A sustainability assessment can be conducted at various levels, from individual products to entire industries or communities, and can help to identify areas where improvements can be made to support a more sustainable future.
