How do you translate "sustainability" to Spanish?

Question

I want to translate the phrase "understanding sustanability" to Spanish. This is for a science and engineering event. Is it "Entender la sostenibilidad" that doesn't sound right? But there must be a word or phrase that describes this.

Answer 1

According to a WordRef discussion, historically it has been

Sustentación

but now

Sustenibilidad

has become common.

Answer 2

Sustainable studies>

Answer 3

what are sustaintable studies?

Answer 4

sorry about that, this should be more clear

I also found "sustentabilidad" translated from something in Spanish:

What they were trying to translate to Einglish was this:

A los organismos de Ciencia y Tecnología, para ayudar que ajusten sus estrategias de investigación y desarrollo dentro del paradigma de la sustentabilidad.

I think "sustentabilidad" makes more sense. The page where they talk about this is here: here

And "sustentable" is the adjective form.
