A Century's Transition: A Brief History of Sustainable Development

By Jose Adrian Figueroa Hernandez and Aida Montes de

For many years we have been hearing the words "sustainable development" on the media, radio, TV, social networks, etc., but do we really know what it is, what it means, why we use it with such familiarity? This book will allow us to know who has contributed to forge this concept of sustainable development, sometimes seen as a process, a concept or an idea to fill a discourse. It is a review over the course of a century. It will also bring us closer to understanding how it has been transformed and adapted both in discourse and in concept. Making history on sustainable development has its peculiarities based on understanding, interpretation and abstraction. Some people are convinced that the proposal began in 1987 with the Brundtland Report, for others it began at the end of the seventies with the Ecodevelopment model, and for others sustainable development as a lifestyle model does not exist as such. For many others, sustainable development is only a series of postulates that have converged in the political, economic and social circumstances and conjunctures.
