| Sumario: | [EN] This paper analyses documentary sources on the formal antecedents of the concept of sustainable development as proposed by the United Nations in the document “Our Common Future” or Brundtland Report and its evolution towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Good Life Goals (GLGs) to establish a chronology of the relevant events determining the policies and actions that are currently carried out, as well as to get an adequate referential framework for future research on this topic. The analysis of the compiled information indicates that the formal antecedents of the concept date back to 1965, when the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) was established by merging the pre-existing Extended Programme of Technical Assistance (from 1949) and Special Fund (from 1958). Later on, the first formal use of the term occurred in an official document from 1969 promoted by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The chronological presentation of relevant events makes it possible to highlight the leadership of the United Nations, its agencies or departments in this area –before and after the appearance of the concept–, together with the also relevant role of other organisations, namely different European instances |
