Abstract

The article is devoted to the theme of the transition of mankind from a society of «intellectual moral decline» to a society of «awareness by each individual of personal planetary responsibility». Today, as a person living in a large metropolis, consuming large amounts of energy and the benefits of a technocratic civilization, as well as a person living in the core of the wild nature, mercilessly cutting down forests, pouring mercury into rivers for the sake of gold cannot boast a high level of ecological culture. Their search for the utopia of the «ideal land» as the promised lands of «Zheryuk» and «Zhideli-Baysyn» and of the «ideal society», which lives without hunger, destitution, wars and social anomalies, seeking a single harmonious path in spiritual solidarity with nature, this core of the traditional worldview of a nomad, of his holy almost sacred attitude and worship to the Great Steppe, echoes with the concept of sustainable development.

Summary

Introduction

Many scientists are concerned about the problems facing modern humanity, as human survival is not possible unless the whole world community makes joint efforts to tackle environmental pollution. It is in the light of threats of a planetary scale, such as environmental disasters, global warming and others, that the issue of sustainable development has been given more attention. At the 62nd Session of the UN General Assembly, held on September 26-27, 2007 in New York, the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, N.A. Nazarbayev raised the question of creating a register of environmentally unfavorable areas so that the global issue of environmental pollution could be tackled more systematically. It is impossible to develop our world further without a global approach to economy, politics, and environmental issues; for this reason the topic of sustainable development should be broadly discussed
