In this context, the lack of information exchange between various parties and the destruction of the positive impact of high-tech development on economic growth, especially the lack of cooperation in high-tech 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 Earths 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 ones 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-its 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 its 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. However, Professor Kwon-Soo Ha noted the excessive use of the term green, when everything that is green is considered good, and any green movement is considered progressive. First of all, due to such 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 humanitys 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.
