Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the environmental issue focused on the developmental theory that ECLAC addresses to Latin America. It aims to identify how the environmental problem is weighted by the international community and how composed is ECLAC development theory, also the way proposes to incorporate caution with the environment as one of its commitments. The methodology used was based on a literature review, going trought the global awareness movement that began with the conferences in the 1970s. They resulted in transformational measures such as the MDGs, SDGs and Agenda 2030. The study also presents the main challenges that Latin America faced in the pursuit of sustainable development, as ECLAC contributes with its central ideas, the classics thinking about environmental discussion and the implementation of Agenda 2030 in Latin American countries. Finally, the work suggests a greater environmental awareness in the international scope and seeks to emphasize that there is much to progresses when it is about the peripheral sustainable development, as the region needs studies and investments focused on the Latin American reality.
