A History of the Concept of Quality

Abstract

Sustainable development - as a well defined concept - has emerged from a series of Conferences and Summits, where influential people have tried to come to an agreement on how to tackle the “burning issues” of the 21st Century: poverty, increasing inequality, environmental and human health degradation. The present paper presents the most important “stages”, where the “actors” have created and defined the concept of sustainable development and its principles.
