| Abstract |
The elaboration and use of expressions with substantial content attract attention by its dynamic process of construction and acceptance. It is in this way that the conceptualization of "sustainable development", in conjunction with "environmental transversality", is taken in this study; in its origin, as an expression endowed with unique meaning, addressing its incorporation in the legal and corporate scenario as a global effort of dissemination of environmental information permeating the most different sectors of society, through different kinds of media, to allow a harmonious and balanced development. Thus, the study seeks to clarify the scope of the term "sustainable development" through the principles of integration and systemic transversality, which give its conceptual structure an inherent interdisciplinarity clue to its horizontal dimension, thus contributing also to the conceptual evolution of the economic (according to a global circularity) and social (regarding inclusive responsibility and protection of vulnerabilities) dimensions. In this way, the present work intends to verify, through the use of the historic and deductive method, according to the bibliographic approach technique, the evolutive relevance of sustainable development (seen as an expression and contribution of different terms of knowledge), as well as the sistemic reflections of its effective integrative transverse horizontality based on the theory of the triple bottom line, enhanced by today's 5P's (planet, profit, people, peace and partnership), on the promotion of the common good by implementing sectoral public policies, reaching the conclusion that the construction of the concepts of "environmental transversality" and "sustainable development" reveals itself as a process that is still evolving, with its sedimentation obtained gradually over time and the acquisition of a greater environmental awareness of the global society of risk and information. |
