MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: In this paper, I review the sustainability and sustainable development research around the world. I begin by defining the sustainability and sustainable development concepts. Thereafter, I highlight the dimensions of sustainable development and sustainability based on the literature. I also show the relationship between sustainability and sustainable development. The key findings in this review indicate that sustainability and sustainable development lead to greater resource availability, and are influenced by country policies, structural challenges, institutional bottlenecks, and political willingness to pursue the sustainable development goals. Also, sustainable development is a widely acknowledged concept in academia while its practicality in policy circles has been contested. Also, existing empirical studies show that incorporating sustainability or sustainable development concerns into business or environmental management yields some positive benefits. Finally, some areas for future research are suggested.
