Sustainable development – a threatened future
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2011, Vol 65, Issue 11
Abstract
The concept of the eco-development came into being at 1st United Nations Conference on “Environment and development” in 1972, but this concept was formulated and defined for the first time in 1987 in the Brundtland report “Our Common Future”, in which the idea of sustainable development was presented. This paper presents the preservation of the environment and its natural resources, possibilities for improving living conditions and safety of all human beings also against the world population growth as well as the potentials and constraints of sustainable development. The author states that it is difficult to predict precisely which problems and to what extent will be solved by the present generations, and which will be left for the next ones. However, human inventiveness and innovative approach to overcome difficulties are as unpredictable as processes occurring in ecosystems or social systems.
