Depuis les trois dernières décades, le débat sur le développement durable s'est caractérisé par une étroite politique de développement et de l'environnement laissant une large marge aux interprétations. Ces interprétations ne correspondent pas souvent à celles de ceux qui utilisent les forces du marché ainsi que les multinationales pour mieux actualiser le développement. Elles sont plutôt issues des théories qui croient en une réconceptualisation fondamentale de l'économie et de l'environnement pour qu'un réel changement se produise. Dans une approche théorique, cet article tente d'analyser la croissance économique et la complexité de la notion du développement durable.

The new edition has been extensively revised to highlight recent developments in the theory and practice of sustainable development.

It also reviews recent activity in the arena of developing indicators of sustainable development. Containing a wealth of new case studies from across the globe, discussion question, guides for further reading and a glossary, this text provides an invaluable introduction to the characteristics, challenges and op.

This Article scrutinizes the potential contribution of the World Bank, as an international economic organization, to the sustainable development agenda. Analyzing the reforms in policies, procedures, and organizational structure that accompanied the Bank's involvement in ostensibly political,non-economic matters such as human rights, environmental protection, and good governance--all of which are critical components of sustainable development--this Article contends that, contrary to the so-called mission creep argument, the evolution of the Bank's mandate is legally defensible and normatively desirable. Instead of amending its constituent instrument, the Bank has optimized the teleological-evolutionary approach to treaty interpretation to expand and reconstruct its mandate in response to the changing needs of its clients. However, to complete its credible transformation into a "sustainable development agency," the interpretation of its Articles of Agreement should be guided not only by the treaty parties' intent but also by the international community's expectations and demands. The international community's consensus on the multidimensional character of sustainable development and the related principle of integration must be read into the Bank's constituent instrument and must guide its development policies and operational activities.

The practical definition of sustainable development remains "balance between the social,economic and natural resources". To builda system for sustainable development inprogress is very difficult; it should be noted that to talk about the three elements at thesame time. Finding balance, adds more difficult, because, "the preservation of theecosystem", includes in itself, human capital,making peoples an integral part of theecosystem that we are trying to save. Mostly, sustainable development requires major andradical changes, in particular to human behaviors and habits, connected to nature and theeconomy. The aim of this article is to identify the role of education in sustainabledevelopment. The development of education inthe context of sustainable development,promotes the correct answer of science, but a way of engaging with different perspectiveson the world we live in, and share together every moment of our lives.
