Introduction
Sustainable development is the growth of society in which human living conditions improve, and the impact on the environment remains within the economic capacity of the biosphere so that the biological basis of the functioning of humanity is not destroyed. With resistant development, needs are met without prejudice to future generations. Sustainable elaboration is a prerequisite for long-term human progress, accompanied by increased capital and improved environmental conditions.
Discussion
Neither population growth nor an increase in the rate of resource consumption can be sustainable. Indeed, there is an apparent oxymoron in the concept of sustainable development. The larger the population and the higher the rate of resource consumption, the more difficult it is to bring society to a state of sustainable development. People are responsible for restoring or reducing the resources consumed since achieving sustainable development only with mutually beneficial exchange is possible (Tacon, 2022). Suppose humanity only consumes resources and does not give anything in return. In that case, sooner or later, it will simply lead to extinction because, at some point, the benefits will be exhausted. On a national scale, it is essential not only to introduce resource-saving technologies in production and to disseminate ideological materials about the importance of the transition to sustainable development as a survival strategy but also to study the complex system of relationships between nature and society.
Conclusion
Against this background, it is necessary to focus on the appropriate priorities to achieve sustainable development. No economic activity can be justified if its benefit does not exceed the damage caused (Tacon, 2022). Environmental harm should be as low as possible based on economic and social factors. Sustainability of development and a high standard of living can coexist if resources are used correctly and competently.
