In 1980, International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) published the World Conservation Strategy which pointed world's sustainable development as a priority. Two years later, the United Nations codified the World Charter for Nature with emphasize on five principles of protection that human effect on it. In 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development (Brudtland Commission) published "Our Common Future". This document includes the most frequently quoted definition of sustainability: “"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. In 1992, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development published the Earth Charter which accented sustainable and peaceful world on 20th century. Millennium Declaration, among the United Nations charters, expresses economic, social and environmental protection growth as principles and agreements of sustainable development.

Recent studies divide social dimension of sustainability into politics and culture and through four dimensions: environmental, economic, political and cultural approach sustainable development.
