Summary:The purpose of this paper is to identify existing strands of research in the area of sustainability development and the role of environmental tools with application in order to accomplish sustainable development. The analysis focuses on the available tools that the research community can provide to support sustainable development. The first category of tools includes analytical methods and is based on model analysis, scenario analysis and risk analysis. The second one relies on procedural tools mainly referred to liability commitment or EU recognition. Since complexity is high, multiple diverse approaches are needed, including both analytical and procedural methods. The following sections first provide an insight on Sustainable Development, including an overview of its idea, iindicators, and then describe the tools that can help in identifying environmental sustainability. At the end of the paper, the possible tools application matrix is illustrated. Considering the enormity of the topic, there are a lot of subtopics that should be considered, so this paper will give a few notes of the concept of environmental sustainability, environmental tools and possible application.
