СКАЧАТЬ development, are becoming more and more noticeable. In addition, the dominance of the service sector and the high level of employment in it, which is not very sensitive to automation and new technologies, will increase. In parallel, the cost of labor will increase due to the cost of its technological development, which in turn also requires an organised, educated and well-managed workforce, and the replacement of labor with capital will increase. In addition, the cost of education, research and development will increase given the dominance of applied research in higher education. At the same time, the slow pace of technical progress in the field of information technology and the dominance of existing technologies will further reduce the speed of progress. Lack of financial resources and a tough economy that is not very sensitive to new technologies will continue to be a problem.

      Our current socio-economic model is based on the exploitative system of industrial society and is based on the following three principles:

      1. Every person has an equal right to happiness.

      2. Every person has an equal right to the same use of the Earth’s natural resources.

      3. Any consumption is justified if it leads to happiness.

      For a long time, more than a hundred years, the modernisation of industrialism and its socio-economic model were based on these three principles, which are still in force today, and are the basic foundations of the current system.

      This model brought with it a number of fundamental changes in lifestyle and had a significant impact on the way we live and think. For example, it changed the way we conceptualise land and began to treat it as a resource that belongs to us residents. As a result, we began to view ourselves as owners of the land, giving us a sense of ownership of the land.

      This socio-economic model is based on unsustainable imbalances (economic and financial, social and political) that are collapsing. Unsustainable consumption and wasteful production, uncontrolled consumption and underconsumption, over-infrastructure and under-infrastructure, the gap between rich and poor, over-consumption, lack of opportunity and choice, lack of time, health and safety are all becoming more and more evident. Over the past few years, we have been continually losing opportunities because we are not taking advantage of them. Dissatisfaction with the government is growing, due in large part to unmet needs, worsening social and economic problems, and a lack of trust in political institutions and leadership, and as a result, citizen dissatisfaction with the government is steadily growing. Fundamental changes and shifts in the established political, economic and ideological systems of society also expose power structures to attack from all sides. Against the backdrop of change, a significant part of the population occupies extremely opposing sides.

      It is positive that in all this, recently the world is experiencing a technological revolution associated with the advent of the information age, thanks to which others can learn from others and have access to technology through the Internet, where the whole world is a virtual laboratory and knowledge is available to everyone. Now even the most isolated countries have access to the outside world through the Internet and satellite portals. This simplifies the process of appealing to a wide range of international institutions and organisations with the popularisation and promotion of simple concepts internally accepted by the majority in order to escape the threat when it is easier to destroy than to create. Realise the need to fulfil one’s obligations inherent in everyone by default according to human nature, return to rethinking responsibility as a simple element on which global processes are built, intra- and inter-corporate ethics, interaction of large and small corporations, individual participation in this of everyone, motivation to bridge the gap between poverty and wealth, and other contradictions. The responsibility on which the future stability of all structures depends, the currently unstable economic, financial and political balance. This is a key concept about the benefits and application of which definitely requires the beginning of a wide discussion.

      3. PROGRESS AND CONTRADICTIONS

      World is not fair, but progress is not inevitable. Progress cannot be resisted and as a broad concept, it can be not only productive, but also destructive and history shows, that this is a form of violence. Progress-it’s not just an idea, a complex and contradictory concept, can be good or bad like a double edged sword. Progress is the basis for the birth of new ideas, changes and opportunities, but also the root of social inequality, social exclusion and violence. The idea of, that we can control progress, is a fallacy. We have to ask ourselves a question: Do we need progress and do we need development of everything? What surrounds us? Society must and can develop sustainably, subject to basic rules and obligations.

      In ancient Greek philosophy there are two concepts: being and becoming. Being is that, what is eternal and most important. Becoming is that, what is secondary and changeable. Getting so good, how much being there is in it. Development-this is a change, but not a fact, that it is good in itself. If this change contains more of the eternal, it means it’s good, but if there is little eternal and important in it-this is not progress, but vice versa. The development of Western political thought and philosophy has come to, that being is abandoned altogether and considers good or bad within this becoming. This is a concept where everything why and where development is going is good, and everything from where and what development comes from is bad and everything that was bad yesterday, everything that happens tomorrow will definitely be good. Responsibility is a very simple category at first glance, to be a part of being, but at the same time adds this most “eternal” thing to becoming, forming more positive things in it as a clear and uncomplicated category, accessible to awareness and accepted by many.

      Progress as religion, concept of the eternal, faith, that any change in any qualities is progress by default. At the same time, regression is also a qualitative change, moving in the opposite direction, along with the fall. There are social relations in which there should be no changes and which should not be revised, like things, primarily related to ethics, which rely on transcendental truths. New social-the economic model must be sustainable, fair, equal, and Western civilisation says, that everything must be constantly reviewed and changed. Such constant revision makes modern social-the economic model is unsustainable and leads it almost to a state of collapse.

      4. GREEN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. STORY. GOALS AND MEANS OF ACHIEVING

      There is a need to again turn to ancient Greek concepts and introduce new, most important modern meanings into existence. Although more is being heard about green projects, this does not mean that promoting green sustainability seems to be sufficient. There is no doubt that sustainable development is an objective necessity and will continue regardless of how current global events play out now or in the future.

      The term “green sustainable development” was first used and coined by Professor Michael Charles Tobias, president of the non-governmental organisation Green World Campaign between 1984 and 2003. In August 1987, Gro Harlem Brundtland, in its report to the UN, first used the term “sustainable development” as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” in the context of what is now called the “green economy”. .

      The principle of sustainable development was further defined and developed following the publication of the Brundtland Report and was included in the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development in 1992. Further, the concept of green sustainable development, Green Sustainable Development (GSD), was developed by Professor Kwon-Soo Ha in 2002 as a clean energy approach and an alternative to fossil fuels to achieve sustainable development. Professor Kwon-Soo Ha believed that at the beginning of the 21st century, humanity faced a serious crisis in controlling global warming and the time had come to create a new global system of sustainable development.
