Summary

INTRODUCTION

The word Sustainability became a concept in 1713 in the book Sylvicultura Oeconomica oder Naturmässige Anweisung zur Wilden Baum-Zuch of Hans Carl von Carlowitz (2017), who for 40 years was responsible for the administration of silver mining in Saxony. It is noteworthy that a number of European countries and the United States of America participated in this conference, which were considered to be developed, but presented several environmental problems because they adopted an economic model that caused a lot of pollution and degradation of natural resources. The Stockholm Declaration produced the first document, which recognizes a quality Environment for humans, leaving the world a better place for humankind This statement still had the role of being the first moment in which the population was tried to raise awareness of problems related to disorderly growth, pollution and overexploitation of natural resources. From this conference came the document entitled The Future We Want, focusing mainly on the issues of the use of natural resources, and on social issues such as the lack of housing and homelessness" (FEIL, SCHREIBER, 2017)
