The history of Sustainability starts from the US government’s National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 which came into being because of Santa Barbara oil spill that happened in the same year and which had a devastating impact on wildlife and the natural environment in the area. It also got societal attention after the consequences of industrial pollution. Awareness of which was promoted by the 1962 publication “Silent Spring” by Rachael Carson. Simultaneously for the concern of the environment arrived the Clean Water Act, the Water Quality Act, the push to ban DDT, and the institution of the National Wilderness Preservation System.
The next step in the growth of sustainable development as a mainstream concept and practice was the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, in Stockholm, Sweden. This conference provides an excellent, condensed history of the term, which we quote at length:
“The concept of sustainable development was originally synonymous with that of sustainability and is often still used in that way. Both terms derive from the older forestry term “sustained yield”, which in turn a translation of the German term “nachhaltiger Ertrag” is dating from 1713. According to different sources, the concept of sustainability in the sense of a balance between resource consumption and reproduction was however applied to forestry already in the 12th to 16th century.
The history of the concept of sustainability is however much older. Already in 400 BCE, Aristotle referred to a Greek concept in talking about household economics. This Greek household concept differed from modern ones in that the household had to be self-sustaining at least to a certain extent and could not just be consumption oriented.”
Since then different steps have been taken by United Nations and The World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) for sustainable development ,two of those being, Agenda 21 and Kyoto Climate Agreement in 1997.
The world has now developed, people are becoming more aware of Sustainability. Different nations & U.N have taken a step ahead to promote sustainability and to save the future.
Thus, U.N has released the 17 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) to transform our world. It's a high time, we must step forward and join hands with the world in achieving sustainability. Let's share this beautiful message of sustainability with everyone and secure the futures of our future generations.
