Conceptual Evolution

The article aims to analyze, in a formal historical approach, the conceptual evolution of sustainability terminology, which initially has an essentially ecological interaction, but begins to incorporate social values in its definition when establishing relation with the welfare of future generations. As a result, international society coined the term "sustainable development," which presupposes a preventive action, with practices of governmental regulations associated with initiatives that involve economic growth, social equity and global environmental conservation.

The idea of sustainability has dominated global environmental affairs for several decades, though sustainable development has nowhere been achieved in practice. Established conceptions of sustainable development asserting that growth, justice, and environmental protection can be mutually reinforcing now need to be rethought under the more challenging circumstances of the Anthropocene. Sustainability needs to become more reflexive: more open to a range of understandings about its own essence, more ecologically grounded, more dynamic in its responsiveness to changing social and Earth system conditions, more far-sighted in anticipating future problems (such as state shifts in the Earth system), and more effectively integrated with other social values (such as justice and democracy). These requirements are demonstrated by a critical examination of one of the largest global efforts to advance sustainability and associated values: the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015.

The Relationship

An attempt is made to identify aspects of the relationship between nature, society and culture in order to understand the principles on which it is possible to build sustainable development in the modern world on the basis of environmental conservation. It is suggested to consider this problem within the framework of studying the laws of nature, the interdependence of nature and culture, in particular its scientific component. The historical influence of cultural factors and world understanding of philosophical schools on the nature of practical development is traced. The primary role in solving the global environmental problem is assigned to education, as well as the direction of spiritual culture to respect the rights of future generations and respect for other national traditions.

Protagonists of global environmental governance often view the sovereign State as well as the principle of sovereignty as major stumbling blocks for effective environmental conservation and sustainable development. Some even herald the demise of the idea of the sovereign State. However, reality has it differently. Sovereignty is no longer an unqualified concept. Manifold new duties have been imposed upon the sovereign State as a result of the progressive development of international law. Much of the modern international law movement vests States with the responsibility to adopt regulations, to monitor and secure compliance and exercise justice in order to achieve its implementation, whereas supranational global environmental governance has remained notoriously weak. This article examines this proposition by reference to the environmental and developmental role of states in three landmark multilateral treaties: The United Nations Law of the Sea Convention (1982), the Convention on the Conservation of Biological Diversity (1992) and the Paris Agreement on climate change (2015). They demonstrate that sovereignty serves as a key organisational principle for the realization of global values, such as environmental conservation and sustainable development.

This study is focused on the importance of housing and other settlement infrastructure for the sustainable development of the inhabited areas and the whole living space on the Earth’s surface. Development of the settlement infrastructure, based in technical and constructional terms on flat, may serve well the sustainable development of these spaces. Application of the method signaled in this study for the transformation of economic activities in order to approximate them, through the concept of settlement infrastructure, to the chief social values of sustainable development of living space, including inhabited space, requires a real shift in the paradigm of economic growth to the paradigm of sustainable development

Debt Burden

One of the necessary conditions for sustainable development is the public finance stability. The policy of financial consolidation, which has been actively pursued since the 1980s, is designed to balance the budget and the debt burden so as not to expose future generations to the risk of lowering living standards. However, such a policy often becomes an obstacle to economic growth. In accordance with the concept of progressive financial consolidation, a fiscal capacity should be created, which is used to reduce the tax burden and increase budget expenditures that stimulate economic growth. Analysis of the tax burden showed that the policy of financial consolidation conducted in Russia in 2015–2018 did not stimulate the development of the sector oriented to the domestic market. Thus, fiscal policy did not meet the objectives of sustainable development.

It should be noted, that today the world scientific community try to find new ways of economic development, which are aimed at refusing to absolutize economic growth at the expense of solving social and ecological problems and ensuring the vital requirements of future generations. In this regard, the authors have proposed a methodological technique, that allows to systematize the factors of investment attractiveness of the business environment of the region, which are considered in terms of implementing the goals of sustainable development and increasing innovative activity. At the same time, we consider it necessary to emphasize, that the use of the obtained research results will allow, in our opinion, to significantly advance both in theoretical and practical terms in solving the development and implementation of reasonable interim measures to advance the region towards achieving sustainable development goals.

Brundtland Report

Sustainable development (as defined by The Brundtland Report, 1987) points to development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. However, sustainable development denotes different perspectives to different audience; and for development to be truly sustainable, growth must be inclusive and demands equal attention to the tri-nexus of economy, society and the environment. Unfortunately, this is far from reality. In an effort to continue growing, economies pedestalize economic progress where attention is skewed towards economic performance with an intentional disregard of the environment and to the degradation of the environment. For the purpose of this paper, sustainable development focuses on debates between the twin-nexus of economy and the environment. This paper highlights sustainable development challenges for Singapore (an island nation). While most studies centered on Singapore‟s miraculous growth, few have examined the island‟s use of its environmental capital for economic growth. Island economies face similar development challenges like most global economies; the difference lies in their natural endowments (or the lack of). This underlines the need for policies to advance ecosystem preservation in land-scarce Singapore. With the use of a simple environmental valuation framework, it is demonstrated that the island nation has not fared too badly in protecting its environmental capital.Keywords: Ecosystem, Environmental Capital, Island Nation, Singapore, Sustainable Development
