СКАЧАТЬ a misunderstanding of the meaning of the term “green,” various interpretations and not entirely correct use of this term were formulated, which, according to Professor Kwon-Soo Ha, became problematic. In 2003, in New York City, participants at the GREEN TIDE conference were introduced to this idea and came to the decision to use the concept of green sustainable development in the existing global network of projects.

      Green and sustainable development creates a pyramidal population structure where the top layer of this structure is occupied by people involved in green sustainable development who follow an appropriate lifestyle. The second level is occupied by people who support sustainable green development through their purchasing, advertising and promotion decisions. The third level is occupied by people whose lifestyle is complemented by the lifestyle of sustainable green development, but they are not yet part of the endeavour. The fourth level is occupied by those who did not choose this way of life, but were influenced by it. The fifth level is occupied by those who have learned about the existence of green sustainable development and accepted its characteristics. The sixth level is the base of the pyramid and the people who are not affected by it in any way. At the same time, these groups use generally accepted concepts and are, to varying degrees, driven by them or aware of them. Appealing to them to discuss the significance and role of responsibility, the fulfilment of obligations are certainly understandable categories that can cause a lively response and serve as a kind of cross-level connecting factor.

      Green communities are a response to humanity’s urgent need to unite around a common concern for the environment and a sustainable future, and to find a balance between economic growth and the relationship between humans and nature.

      Achieving such a goal requires not only the support of governments, private businesses and the general public, but also a clear understanding of the problems and the need for action. An important mechanism for communication and engagement is for green communities involved in sustainable development and environmental conservation to present their new ideas, concepts and models.

      For a long time, the solution to sustainability was to take the “more research is needed” approach. But the solution to the problem is not in more research, but in acting on what we already know.

      Green Sustainability is a concept for addressing the challenge of sustainable development in the 21st century.

      Ecosystems provide a wide range of “goods” for human well-being, including clean water and air, food, medicine and recreation. The health of ecosystems also affects human well-being. Ecosystem goods and services are often interconnected, so that changing one can affect many others. For example, the destruction of forests to provide more pasture for livestock, which reduces the area of land suitable for cultivation, thereby reducing food production, which contributes to reduced food security, and the fall in food production affects the population, and so on.

      Industrial activities create waste and pollution that negatively impact ecosystems. For example, mining, metallurgy and other industrial activities release heavy metals into the environment. These heavy metals can be toxic to people and animals, harm the health of ecosystems and destroy biodiversity.

      Controlling the negative impacts of human activities on ecosystems and restoring degraded ecosystems is necessary to maintain ecosystem goods and services. This includes sustainable use of natural resources and restoration of degraded ones.

      The isolation of the world as a whole and the multiplication of areas of limited access do not create a single investment space; they create an investment deficit that cannot be filled without a unified innovation infrastructure.

      The lack of a unified global infrastructure for the formation of an open investment space inevitably leads to the preservation of backward technologies, low efficiency and environmental destruction. Global supply chains are breaking down, which does not allow the creation of modern technologies in logistics, production and supply, as well as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, communications and other digital technologies. This is what creates a gap between developed and developing countries, which is then used as an excuse for unfair trade, sanctions, trade wars and other negative phenomena. The lack of effective solutions for the interaction of disparate parties leads to completely unpredictable behaviour on the world stage.

      A significant change from past environmental efforts is the need to innovate, to create a new social order that will lead to a different and better future. The change will be influenced by the development of “green” industries, “green” enterprises and services, as well as the creation of “green” jobs and issues of “green consumerism”, developing communication channels with businesses and consumers.

      5. NEW PHILOSOPHY. CONCEPTS AND STRUCTURES

      Formation of a new philosophy of green sustainable development, which is a system of concepts and ideas that includes an internal and external structure for ensuring sustainable development, based on a number of philosophical positions and principles, such as:

      1. Belief in humanity and the environment, which can be realised through innovative and sustainable technologies.

      2. Rich cultural diversity that promotes human creativity and enriches the social fabric.

      3. Belief in basic universal values (human rights, democracy, tolerance, freedom, equality and justice) as the main source of legitimacy, as well as in a socio-economic system based on the principles of humanism.

      4. Belief in moderate consumption as the key to reducing social and economic inequality.

      5. The belief that the environment and sustainability are the foundation of both economic growth and sustainable development.

      6. Belief in the free market economy as the best socio-economic system for achieving sustainable development and in the market as a source of inspiration for finding the most effective means of improving the economy and reducing environmental impact.

      Green and sustainable development is not only a matter of science and technology, but also a matter of spiritual civilisation and the wisdom of the human spirit. This can be considered the basis, the root of all wonderful achievements and progress in science and technology. It has never been possible to develop science and technology without adopting the philosophy of green development or hoping to accept the spirit of green and sustainable development only then there will be no room for regret.

      Moreover, we must not forget that green and sustainable development is a subjective human project. All of its various goals cannot be achieved without consensus among the various stakeholders, which must be constantly built up through various actions of administrators and developers to bring about global change. Whether one agrees with the above opinions and values or not, they exist to provide us with a vision and framework for the future of humanity. Emphasising the importance of coexistence, cooperation and harmony between people, a new set of values and a new philosophy is proposed, in which, along with all complex categories, there is responsibility as a generally accepted essence, accepted equally by all parties.

      It is a philosophy based on environmental ethics, environmental law, environmental philosophy and environmental economics, with the environment being one of the most important factors in the development, production and consumption of goods for the well-being of the entire planet.

      The main goal of the philosophy of sustainable development is to ensure a better world for all people on our planet, sustainable harmonious development of the ecosystems of the Earth and humanity, to create a comfortable and safe living environment for humans, not for the benefit of a few, СКАЧАТЬ
