The essence of sustainable development and its turbolity in the world and Ukraine

Abstract

In conditions of turbulence and unpredictability, rapid population growth, excessive consumption of resources, environmental pollution, global warming, humanity is on the brink of environmental and socio-humanitarian catastrophe. In view of these threats, the 1987 UN report set out the basic wording of sustainable development – as development in which the needs of present generations are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This article is devoted to the study of the essence of "sustainable development", its features, threats that necessitated the introduction of such a concept, as well as ways to implement it. The importance of ensuring the possibility of achieving the seventeen goals of sustainable development is also substantiated. Separately in the article the peculiarities of Ukraine's policy in ensuring sustainable development are considered, the place of our state in the world in this direction is determined. The level of achievement of seventeen goals is analyzed. It was emphasized that Ukraine is an active participant in the movement for sustainable development.The article states that in order to achieve sustainable development, it is necessary for the governments of the world to realize the need to save the planet and preserve it for future generations, by avoiding depletion, in order to make a profit. World political and non-political organizations, state institutions, business giants must realize that only by adhering to the principle of preservation, not seizure; development, not growth, can achieve sustainable development. It is established that the main way to save and build a society of sustainable development is the awareness of responsibility for the future, not the thirst for earnings today. The main conclusion is that the achievement of these goals is possible only if the business, government institutions realize that the basis of future operation, or even the existence of the world – is not profits, but development, which is to create an environment for harmful technological processes with new high-tech and environmental technologies as global aggression policies are transformed into care policies.
