Sustainable development is found within the economy now

Modern theories that make up the paradigm of sustainable development, and the best practices derived from them, are based on the consistency of individual and public needs, factors of economic growth and ecosystem conservation. The trend of green economy expansion is moving from a challenge facing modern society to the dominant area of scientific thinking, which is increasingly focused on solving the problems of reducing the anthropogenic impact on the environment, primarily on the climate. At the same time, the level of scientific and technological progress, and the quality of life that modern civilization has reached, require the preservation and increase in the specific consumption of various resources in the long term. Therefore, green economy technologies that ensure the transition to sustainable development are initially focused on the optimal and integrated use of non-renewable resources and the maximum involvement of renewable resources in the production of goods specific for a post-industrial era [1]. Based on this, the evolution of sustainable development methodology should be carried out in the system of innovative development of industrial technologies and their adaptation to the latest trends in energy and urbanism, ecology, finance and investment. At the same time, sustainable development is associated with increasing the responsibility of business, governments and the entire society, around the world, for achieving a balance between current and future needs for subsoils, energy, traditional and new materials, and transport. Such responsibility equalizes environmental and social problems (poverty and malnutrition, inequalities in access to wealth and income distribution), which often have common roots. This, in turn, highlights the importance of interdisciplinary and multilateral research on sustainable development issues, the results of which can answer questions about green economy perspectives.
