Sustainability is on the center of green politics. Yet this position hardly corresponds to a non-existent conceptual unanimity, spread of the concept has multiplied its meanings & implications. It is therefore necessary to take on a conceptual review of it, for clarity's sake. And sustainability turns out to be a neutral & generic principle, admitting a number of variations & ways of achievement. Such intrinsically normative character is closely related to a dimension of the principle which the literature tends to ignore, specially due to the pre-political definition of it greens tend to embrace: connection between sustainability & democracy. It facilitates the distinction between two forms of sustainability, differently related to social & political organization & to democratic articulation of public participation. It is only on the grounds of such a distinction & of a conception of sustainability aware of its normative character that a renewed & viable green politics is can be constructed, far from early environmentalism dogmatism & able to find a new foundation for sustainability & itself.
