A brief reminder of the values of the sustainable development concept
We can dissociate the constituent values of SD from the associated values
The three constitutive values in the definition of sustainability are as follows
Economy : productivity, employment, profitability
Society : justice, education, health
Ecology : protection of biodiversity, fight against climate change,
To this we add the values at the interface of each of its spheres which are: environmental justice, social justice, energy efficiency, etc.
To these constitutive values of the definition we can add fundamental associated values , which are not in the classic pattern of sustainable development.
Recognition of the existence of conflicts between the three spheres of SD but also between present and future generations : There will always be a posture that will give more importance to the social or ecological or economic sphere. It is important to recognize the existence of diversity and these different postures and the right of expression of the supporters of each of these spheres.
