Sustainable development: social dimension and limitation of material needs request

Abstract

In this study, the main emphasis is put on social issues of sustainable development. The inclusion of the concept of “the necessity tosatisfy the basic needs” within the concept of sustainable development is considered as an important transition from mere discussions on sustainable development to particular actions aimed at achieving sustainability and conservation of the natural resource capacity. Therefore, in essence, it is not possible to create a model of sustainable development within one particular country, it is also not possible to divide the world's biological systems and disregard the exchange of goods and resources between countries.
