El desarrollo en un escenario de sostenibilidad

Abstract

Development has from the very beginning a concept linked to the economic world. When this term crossed to other fields it did not get rid of its original burden. Hence when it took the leap to ecology it brought with it its whole economic burden originating an ambigious expression that has revealed to be invalid for the purpose of conservation of the planet. Therefore its meaning has to be exceeded in order to promote sustainability to a life of quality in the planet. Another term is proposed ¿postdevelopment¿ although the most relevant is the change of paradigm. This new scenario has to be able to settle in equal terms the three accurate fields of intervention: human, natural and economic. It implies accepting important and structural changes in all orders, but basically in our way of getting on in the planet.
