SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES EXPLOITATION
Abstract
Natural resources are limited and uncontrolled exploitation can have negative effects on the environment. It is necessary to find approach of their sustainable use. Sustainable development is the framework for defining strategies of continuous state and social progress, without harm to the environment and natural resources essential for human activities in the future. Model that regulates sustainable use considers strategies and legal regulations for exploitation of natural resources and energy. Goal is to ensure the sustainable use of natural resources at national and global level. Sustainable use of natural resources is directly related to environmental protection. Also, the preservation of the working and living environment is related to the degree of economic development and the level of education of the population about the importance of a healthy environment and the way of its preservation. Accelerated technological development leads to an improvement in the quality of life in all spheres of human activity, but in parallel, it creates the possibility of greater environmental degradation. Therefore, it is necessary, within the goals of the development policy of the society, to include the correct criteria that will contribute to sustainable development. Thus we contribute to preserving the environment and balance of natural ecosystems.
