Summary: | Sustainable Development is a hypothetical development of a society in which human conditions improve and environmental impact is constrained by the regenerative abilities of the biosphere, so that the natural basis of human life is not destroyed. Sustainable development assumes that meeting the needs of present and future generations is maintained in a safe state, and that environmental conservation is an integral part of the development process. The era of post-industrialization is radically changing the nature of human exposure to the environment. Before raising the question about the current state of natural resource complexes, it should be recognized that humanity still faces the problem of geoecology at the national level, as part of the industrial policy of each country separately. In the post-industrial world, in which the goods created in one country are consumed all over the world, geoecological problems go global, where any component of the environment – natural, technological, social - are combined in a single chain of production and consumption. All of the above requires the formation of an effective system for managing sustainable development in the transition from an industrial to a post-industrial economy, with its specific subjects, goals and subsystems.
