Abstract

Although the concept of “sustainability” is attributed to Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, the principle of inter-generational equity substantiating it is older, at least in the Romanian tradition. This article attempts to take the first steps in looking for the roots of environmental sustainability starting from the traditional wisdom synthesized in proverbs, focusing on the sustainable environmental management. For this purpose, the universal and international principles of environmental law, which are interconnected to the concepts of environmental management (responsibility for protecting the environment) and scientific management in general (functions of the management, decision theory) are used as the backbone of a taxonomic approach. The concept of managerial responsibility takes in ecology the form of individual, group and collective responsibility for the decisions and actions related to the protection of the environment, and also the form of social responsibility. This study continues previous researches of the authors, opening the way to other trans- and interdisciplinary studies. Its main limitation (to Romanian proverbs) gives a possible direction for further research.

关于未来可持续发展的古训:环境管理视角
尽管“可持续性”的概念是由Gro Harlem Brundtland博士提出的,但证明这一概念的代际公平原则由来已久,至少在罗马尼亚传统中是这样。本文试图从谚语中综合的传统智慧入手,以可持续的环境管理为重点,探寻环境可持续性的根源。为此目的,环境法的普遍和国际原则与环境管理(保护环境的责任)和一般科学管理(管理的职能、决策理论)的概念相互关联,被用作分类方法的支柱。管理责任的概念在生态学中表现为个人、团体和集体对与保护环境有关的决策和行动的责任,以及社会责任的形式。本研究延续了作者以往的研究,为其他跨学科和跨学科的研究开辟了道路。它的主要局限性(罗马尼亚谚语)为进一步研究提供了可能的方向。
