Ecology and Culture of Sustainable Development

Abstract

Environmental knowledge was the basis for the development of the concept of sustainable development of society, claiming the status of a modern theory of historical process. To achieve sustainable development one has to change the culture purposefully. In this regard, under the culture one means not only the totality of material and spiritual values created by people, but also its contribution to the preservation and further development of society. The world community is confronted with the challenge to perform socialization of an individual, to develop education on the basis of cultural values introduced by the sustainable development.
