Abstract

This article describes the evolution of the concept of sustainability in the official texts of European environmental organizations. Three phases in this evolution can be identified: 1) the model of sustainability based on the physical environment; 2) the model of sustainability based on the conservation and protection of natural resources; 3) the model based on human development. The evolution of the concept of environmental education in regard to the development of sustainability is described in this work, in addition to a new ethic of sustainability.
