Sustainable Development

The term sustainable development was introduced in the 1987 report "Our Common Future" for Sustainable Development. The World Environment Development Committee defines sustainable development as "development that meets current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". A variety of communities are organized to promote this ideology. They are responding to the pressure of corporate economic practices that weakens the environment and living environment.

This paper proposes a definition of sustainable development from the viewpoint of ecological economics. For this purpose it starts with a historical analysis of the concept of sustainable development, from the origin of ecological development to the present green economy. It is an evaluation of the conceptual premise of sustainable development, which allows neoclassical environmental economics to not fully consider the reality of nature in its environmental policy proposal. Conversely, an analysis of the theoretical basis of ecological economics makes it possible to imagine a strict ecological definition of sustainability, a prerequisite for the definition of sustainable development. Finally, in this white paper, I will explain the problem of zero economic growth without changing the expectation of consumption expenditure without causing crisis. Then suggest a definition of sustainable development

When applied to system development, sustainability reveals the complexity of stakeholders involved and affected by its development. In order to study this complexity, we must propose a reliable definition of development and sustainable development to establish a framework that can understand these complexities. In addition, these definitions are necessary evidence to explore the complexity of sustainable development, due to the various paradigms used to define 'development' and 'sustainable development'. The definition of development and the definitions used in this report are as follows.
