Sustainable development, as originated by the Brundtland Our Common Future report [1], celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2017. It is difficult to assess such a criticized, contested, and mediatized concept, and yet its definition is now found in all school and university textbooks. Many students do not hesitate to define it: "Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It contains within it two key concepts: the concept of 'needs', in particular the essential needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and the idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment's ability to meet present and future needs" [1].While Brundtland highlighted the need to integrate the ecological, social, and economic dimensions of development, it also benefited from attention from states, particularly during the 20 th anniversary of the Stockholm Conference (1972) in Rio de Janeiro (1992). This 1992 Earth Summit restored some vigour to several of the Brundtland report's recommendations [2].In 2007, in a book entitled "Handbook of Sustainable Development", Altinkson, et al. [3] proposed revisiting the concept of sustainable development popularized by the Brundtland Report, in order to identify its implications "for the conduct of public policy and human nature". In 2014, in the second edition of their book, the authors considered that the concept remained "extremely useful" (2014, p. xxvii), while stressing that it was in competition with other concepts such as the circular economy, the green economy, ecosystem services, resilience, etc.
