- W2185568341 abstract "Although there is a great degree of acceptance in relation to the importance of pursuing sustainable development, there are some areas within the higher education sector where the concept of sustainability is not yet fully understood. Based on the negative impact misconceptions can have, it is useful to look at the problem and develop approaches to address them. This paper, first delivered at the conference on environmental management systems at universities (EMSU 99) held in Lund, Sweden in May 1999, tries to discuss some of the misconceptions seen in respect of sustainability at universities and suggests some measures aimed at moving ahead. Introduction: sustainability as a concept Sustainability is today one of the most widely used words in the scientific field as a whole and in the environmental sciences in particular, but the analysis of the evolution of such a concept is a difficult exercise. This is because the records of the systematic use of such an expression, whose reference in the current vocabulary and political discourse is nowadays so popular, are scattered around. Until the late 1970s, the ''word'' sustainability was only occasionally employed, in most cases to refer to ways through which forest resources should be used. It has, in other words, strong connections with the forestry sector from where, some believe, it originated. Other than that, the expression ''sustainability'' has been traditionally used as synonymous with words such as ''long-term'', ''durable'', ''sound'' or ''systematic'' , among others. Indeed, out of the context of the English language, sustainable development is very often referred to as ''durable development'' in French, while word-by-word translations are found in the German (nachhaltige Entwicklung), Spanish (desarrolo sustenible) and Portuguese (desenvolvimento sustentavel) languages. A key question which one might ask at this stage - a question which is posed over and over again, every day, by millions of people all over the world - is what does sustainable development really mean? Depending on the ways it is looked at, it may have many meanings, such as: . the systematic, long-term use of natural resources - as defined in the Brundtland Report described elsewhere in this chapter - so that these are available for future generations (here referring to country and local policies);" @default.
