SUMMARY Sustainable Development that was defined by WECD (The World Commission on Environment and Development) is the most famous sustainability concept. But, it is too abstract for us to understand accurately, because this concept has obscure words (like "Future" and" Present") and many economists have interpreted "Needs (the concept of needs, in particular the essential needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should be given) "as utility As a result it has developed a lot of sustainability concepts and studies (like "Environmental Economics" and "Ecological Economics") to accomplish sustainability. So, in this paper, I arrange sustainability concept and explain Ecological Economics that is not well-known in Japan.
