Abstract

CONTE GRAND, Mariana  and  D´ELIA, Vanesa. Sustainable Development and “Green” Concepts. Prob. Des [online]. 2018, vol.49, n.192, pp.61-84. ISSN 0301-7036.

In the aftermath of the financial crisis that broke out in 2008, new terms to talk about sustainable development started to emerge: the “green” economy and “green” growth. Some countries supported their usage and others did not. The literature witnessed the recrudescence of the debate on the relationship between economic activity and taking care of the environment, divided into three stances: degrowth advocates, “green” growth backers, and the growth agnostics. This paper dives into the different “green” terms, paying special attention to the case of Argentina. Unlike in previous papers, which have analyzed country interventions in international forums, the methodology here was to search the web pages of the most relevant local players. The most traditional terms “sustainable development” were strongly predominant, and the concepts of “green” economy or “green” growth were few and far between.

Keywords : Argentina; sustainable development; green economy; environment; environmental concepts.
