Abstract

Sustainability generally presents itself as a universal expectation of economic development of the individuals who live in a society where moral educational values are forgotten. The deductive method worked in the text finds support in the readings and approaches of authors on the subject in question. However, the dream of a more sustainable planet becomes a field where trace a series of disputes as well as socioeconomic, spatial, within the very challenging economy. An interdisciplinary and critical eye on the right to a more sustainable environment reveals growing processes of human rights abuses, by withholding access to an ecologically balanced environment. To this end, the right to environment becomes an essential requirement for quality of life and citizenship, where his coping requires greater investment and management planning processes to ensure access to basic necessities of human beings.
