This article proposes to problematize the concept of sustainable development presented in the Brundtland Report (1987), because it is considered the first international document that sought to expose what sustainability would be. The theoretical framework used was the decolonial one, through which we sought to question the epistemological construction of the concept of sustainable development proposed there, based on the thinking and research of theorists from the Global South. In this way, we begin our analysis by geopolitically situating the sustainable development discourse, because it is necessary to understand from which epistemological place this discourse departs in order to be able to question it. Therefore, we question basic concepts of this thought, such as what it means to develop and what nature is. As a result of this process, we conclude that the idea of developing nations and sustainability follows the logic of the Anthropocene, where nature must be subjugated and exploited to the maximum for the benefit of humanity and the capitalist system. With the objective of presenting new ways of thinking and understanding the world, which arise from a philosophy unrelated to the North-Global thought matrix, we present as an epistemological and practical proposal the philosophy of “Buen Vivir”, which represents an alternative to understand the world, humanity and its relationship with nature in a different and even antagonistic way from that synthesized in the idea of sustainable development.
