Abstract

This chapter, recognizing the importance of sustainable development to our world and humanity, tries to clarify and emphasize issues related to sustainable development. It reviews the available literature on sustainability, and gives the reader sufficient information on how states, international organizations, including the United Nations, and corporations view it and try to deal with it. So this chapter is more informative than innovative; it explains and clarifies complicated issues, identifies the major parties that take sustainability seriously, tells the history of the sustainability concept, and helps everyone understand where most states, political leaders, corporations, civil society organizations, and social scientists stand. Authors of the first report on sustainability said, “we are searching for a model output that represents a world system that is: 1. sustainable without sudden and uncontrolled collapse; and 2. capable of satisfying the basic material requirements of all of its people.” However, the agreed upon types of Sustainability are Social Sustainability, Economic Sustainability, Environmental Sustainability, and Cultural Sustainability.
