K2R, Recently, the issue of sustainability has gained a new image on the international political agenda, although the disparities between countries in terms of the relevance of environment-related policies are evident. This division is particularly noticeable between West and East, regions where governments use very different arguments to justify the importance given to the issue. This study explores the differences between the regions, with an emphasis on how geopolitical and historical developmental inequalities affect the approach to sustainability issues today. Issues such as energy, economic and urban development, agriculture and climate change will be of particular relevance in understanding the most pressing issues for the planet and how these are being addressed in the international system. Numerous international agreements and protocols have emerged because of a confusing cooperation, with disparities in the commitment they generate and the extent to which they are binding., Keywords: sustainability, Europe, environment, protocol, government, Asia, discourses, China, urbanism, energy, dependence, development
