Abstract
The concept of sustainable development reflects a complex balance between different perspectives on the relationship between the environment and economic and social development. The genesis of sustainable development comes from the Brundtland Commission, established by the UN in 1983. Its report, “Our Common Future”, presented the term “sustainable development” as development that meets the needs of generations. Present without compromising the possibilities of those of the future to satisfy their own needs and sought to meet both the demands for an environmental protection agenda and those of ensuring the development of countries with a lower level of development. The concept seeks to satisfy present generations' needs without compromising future generations' possibilities, relying on three key factors: society, economy and environment. Likewise, the main idea is to promote the transition of society and the environment towards a bearable future. This chapter investigates the challenges it faces in the 2020s.
