Abstract

Sustainable development is an approach that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The history of sustainable development began in 1972, when The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment took place. In 1992 the United Nations Organization recommended that each country introduced its own national sustainable development strategy (NSDS). Since that time many countries have created and implemented their strategies.

The authors emphasize 4 stages in the history of sustainable development strategies creation for the period 1972-2015: the stage of creating sustainable development concept (1972-1992), the stage of primary sustainable development strategies creation (1992-1997), the stage of mass sustainable development strategies creation (1997 -2005), the stage of sustainable development strategies revision in the developed countries and strategies сreation in the developing countries (2005 - 2015). It can be assumed that the world countries’ interest in creation and implementation of sustainable development strategies will only increase in the future.

Sustainable development strategies can be classified according to the territorial scope (supranational, national, regional strategies), the structure (frame strategies, action plans and mixed strategies) and the approach to the planning process (comprehensive, multi-dimensional strategies; cross-sectoral strategies relating to specific dimensions of sustainable development; sectoral strategies; strategies integrated into existing national development strategies).
