Over the last four decades, and particularly after Rio-92, discussions on environmental sustainability have expanded and been incorporated in many legal texts, in public policies and in the practices of daily life for a portion of the world's population. Despite this progress, achieving a more sustainable development is a goal that has yet to be realized, mainly due to economies that favor a predatory development, masquerading as sustainable, which turn a blind eye to the social, environmental and cultural limits of the planet's many different regions, and ultimately threatening the continued existence of human life on Earth. The guiding question of this paper is the incapacity of the sustainability model adopted in discourse, in business and in contemporary society. This paper is a test study and questions political ownership and the transmutation of the concept of sustainable development in discourse and daily life over the last few decades. Ultimately, we hope to draw attention to some of the hits and misses of this divergent sustainable development which claims to be modern. Overall, this paper is more about asking questions than finding answers.
在过去的四十年里，特别是在 1992 年里约热内卢会议之后，环境可持续性的讨论已经扩展，并被纳入世界上一部分人口的许多法律文本、公共政策和日常生活实践中。尽管取得了这些进展，但实现更可持续的发展仍然是一个尚未实现的目标，主要是因为经济倾向于掠夺性发展，伪装成可持续发展，对地球许多不同地区的社会、环境和文化限制视而不见，最终威胁到地球上人类生命的继续存在。本文的指导问题是话语、商业和当代社会中采用的可持续性模式的无能。本文是一项测试研究，质疑了过去几十年中话语和日常生活中政治所有权和可持续发展概念的转变。最终，我们希望引起人们对这种声称是现代的、具有分歧的可持续发展的一些成败的关注。总的来说，本文更多的是提出问题，而不是寻找答案。
