| Sumario: | In view of the probable effects and limits of economic growth, the sustainability paradigm has consolidated itself as an economically viable, socially just and environmentally correct alternative to achieve the development of global economies (CMMAD, 1988). Although, during the 20th century, the incentives for competition and economic growth may have exceeded the limits of socioenvironmental support at a global level, nowadays, it can be questioned whether the most competitive economies be the least sustainable? Based on this research question, this article aimed to analyze the positions of the most competitive economies in the main global sustainability rankings. The adopted methodology involved an empirical approach with statistical treatment of data that, through causality, regression and correlation analyses, allowed to compare the positions of the most competitive economies within two important global sustainability rankings for the year 2020. From the results of the analysis of the economies in the sustainability and competitiveness rankings, it can be concluded that the most competitive economies are also among the most sustainable economies, which shows a possible disruption in the relationship, until then paradoxical, between competition and sustainability. |
