Sustainable development has become daily routine for public administration when strategic planification is to be faced. Environmental policies have traditionally pretended to aim at sustainability, but the extent to which the latter has been universally assumed by institutions, justifies talking about sustainable development policies as such. In this piece of work we will try to analyze the origins and development of such policies in the concrete case of the Basque Country, given the fact that Spanish Constitution gives autonomous communities a prominent role in the management of sustainability. Therefore, we will attempt to describe and, above all, explain how those policies were set into public agenda and which are —and why—the most important features of their scope and objectives.
