Abstract
The paper reveals modern dimensions of the problem of responsibility in the conditions of globalization of environmental problems and their inclusion into economic activities. The purpose of the paper is to identify new dimensions of responsibility in modern ethical discourse in the context of its actualization in the socioeconomic activities of citizens, organizations and countries. Transformation of worldview orientations and social role is considered after the analysis of the basic principles of modern environmental ethics. The transition from anthropocentrism which proclaimed a human being as a highest value to biocentrism, the main thesis of which extends the respect to life and ecocentrism as the idea to maintain the stability of ecosystems with humanity in socioeconomic activities as its part is established. The consequence of this transformation is a change of ecocentrism that has made it a basic ethical concept of sustainable development and a main principle of conservation of nature's ability to self-recovery according to which human activities should not lead to irreversible effects. Ecocentric ethics of sustainable development is declared in principles of international organizations, that indicates the normative level of ethical reflections. An expression of this transition is a formulation of the responsibility problem not only in traditional individual context but also from the point of view of the "ethics of the future." A globalization of environmental challenges makes it possible to address the ethics of sustainability principles to citizens, governments, organizations, sectors of industry and business. So the principle of responsibility for the future is fundamental in the context of management for sustainable development.
