摘要：The series of environmental summits started in Stockholm 1972 by the UN Conference on Human Environment. This was an important milestone in shaping the environmental consciousness by identifying the main threats to our "Only One Planet”. The seminal report Our Common Future by World Commission on Environment and Development (1987) coined the term sustainable development which was further developed at the Earth Summit (UN Conference on Environment and Development, Rio de Janeiro, 1992). The Social Summit in Copenhagen 1995 added the social dimension of the sustainable development that was in this way completed to the present three pillars structure: environmental, economic, and social. The special session of UN General Assembly in New York (1997) stated that despite all efforts the state of earth environment is deteriorating. The same year was marked by conclusion of the Protocol of Kyoto. The Millennium Summit in 2000 put forward Millennium Development Goals with a rather prominent sustainability dimension. The last of the great world conferences was the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg (2002) that further developed this concept by its Plan of Implementation. It promoted concrete actions in five areas of WEHAB (Water, Energy, Health, Agriculture and Biodiversity).
