1st LATIN AMERICAN SYMPOSIUM ON SUSTAINABILITY
Curitiba - Brazil
Sustainability was in a way already discussed some centuries ago. In the 70's the term gained relevance after many environmental disasters that occurred worldwide. International organizations and scientists started discussing the topic as a way to determine opportunities for a sustainable world and identify barriers that prevented communities around the world to achieve a more sustainable way of life.

Thirty years after the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit (1992), research in the field is growing every year, which makes sustainability very interesting in the academia. Nevertheless, the main research agenda has been carried out by the United States, China, United Kingdom, and Canada (Olawumi and Chan, 2018), showing to other regions the great opportunity to bring their agenda to the global discussion.
