perspective is also proposed by a contemporary global position known as environmental
justice.

CONCLUSION

In light of this study, we note that prospects for sustainable development and living-well are
potentially antagonistic, both of which would benefit from a dialogue in order to better

understand the importance of the diversity of languages, cultures, geographic territory,

289
distinct histories and consequently, at times conflicting goals in life .

The school of sustainable development, having placed man at the center of everything, means

individual interests continue to prevail over collective interests and those related to nature

and other living species. As a result, on a global scale we are powerless to face the adverse
consequences of ‘development’, as was the case at the UN Conference on Climate Change in

290
Paris , where it was impossible to adopt a convention that could truly engage governments,
corporations and multinationals to change the growth goals for the benefit of the planet.
The living-well perspective has been institutionalised in two constitutions of two countries of

Latin America, Ecuador and Bolivia. Far from being perfect, it appears in to be a form of

conjunction paired with global theories aimed at promoting similar principles, such as the
perspective of environmental justice, which try to answer the serious global problems that

have not been solved with the perspective of ‘sustainable development’. Indeed, as we have

established, it also embodies deep contradictions and imperfections.
