This concept analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of sustainable development by clarifying its meaning, usage, and application across disciplines. The analysis presents an examination of sustainable development using the eight steps of concept analysis developed by Walker and Avant in 2011. It highlights the interconnectedness of various factors such as society, environment, politics, and economy in achieving sustainable development goals. Moreover, it emphasizes the role of nursing and other professions in addressing climate change and promoting sustainable practices. This paper offers valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, educators, and practitioners working towards a sustainable future by providing a comprehensive analysis of the concept of sustainable development.
