Željko Tepšić

Abstract

Abstract

Economic development and everything that comes with it cannot be stopped, but at certain intervals its direction should be changed, so that it becomes less detrimental to the environment. Sustainable development is a concept of continued economic and social progress, without causing any harm to the environment and the natural resources important for human activities in the future. It relies on the idea that development should not jeopardise future generations by exhausting non-renewable resources and through the long-term devastation and pollution of the environment.

All modern economic and social directions of development have their roots in the concept of sustainable development, because damage to the environment harms society as a whole. Planning, preserving and carefully exploiting resources is essential for high-quality and long-term economic growth and development.
