In order to better integrate the pursuit of sustainable development into its areas of intervention, the Administration is to take, inter alia, the following set of principles into account when framing its actions: a) “Health and quality of life”: People, human health and improved quality of life are at the centre of sustainable development concerns. People are entitled to a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature; b) “ Social equity and solidarity”: Development must be undertaken in a spirit of intra- and inter-generational equity and social ethics and solidarity; c) “Environmental protection”.To achieve sustainable development, environmental protection must constitute an integral part of the development process.
