Abstract

Sustainability makes it possible to understand that the human being is facing a world with exhaustible resources and limited needs, with a population in constant growth and with economic progress based on obsolete technologies that generate a huge energy consumption, apart from billions of tons of wastes added to the ecosystem. These factors unleash catastrophic climatic consequences that have put the “world” on alert when is understood that there is a limit of planetary support capacity and that we are approaching the collapse of the ecosystem and endangering future generations, in addition to undermining the quality of life of all living beings because they exceed the capacity for natural balance of the ecosystems that support it. The increase in poverty, the overproduction of waste, the enormous North-South differences, the desertification and climate change are some of the main factors that human beings must face with great urgency. Regarding this last factor, it should be noted that today it has become a problem of multidimensional proportions that involves governments, organizations and entire societies with the aim of reducing its catastrophic global consequences and has been categorized as one of the greatest challenges of the world in the 21st century. Damage to the environment is becoming an issue that has received greater interest and attention over the years. Therefore, it is necessary a construct that includes ecological and development perspectives, that is, Sustainable Development. Under this context, this article aims to analyse in detail this concept, its origins and evolution, as well as its dimensions, to also establish its link with climate change, both inseparable factors.
可持续发展的时代和气候变化的挑战
可持续发展使人们有可能理解,人类正面临着一个资源枯竭和需求有限的世界,人口不断增长,经济进步基于过时的技术,产生了巨大的能源消耗,除了数十亿吨的废物添加到生态系统。这些因素引发了灾难性的气候后果,当人们认识到地球的支持能力是有限的,我们正在接近生态系统的崩溃,危及子孙后代,除了破坏所有生物的生活质量之外,这些因素还造成了“世界”的警惕,因为它们超过了支持它的生态系统的自然平衡能力。贫困的增加、废物的过度产生、巨大的南北差异、沙漠化和气候变化是人类必须非常紧迫地面对的一些主要因素。关于这最后一个因素,应该指出的是,今天它已经成为一个多维比例的问题,涉及政府,组织和整个社会,目的是减少其灾难性的全球后果,并已被归类为21世纪世界面临的最大挑战之一。多年来,对环境的破坏已成为一个受到更大关注的问题。因此,有必要构建一个包含生态和发展视角的结构,即可持续发展。在此背景下,本文旨在详细分析这一概念,它的起源和演变,以及它的维度,并建立它与气候变化的联系,这两个不可分割的因素。
