Sustainable Development as a Global Trend and an Economic Priority for the Nation

Abstract

Abstract. Today, it is important to consider the problems of preserving the environment from macroeconomic positions, which enable to determine the main systemic causes of environmental degradation; identify those economic directions that affect the environment. This approach is especially relevant for countries and regions that have a specialization in raw materials. Purely environmental measures aimed at preserving nature will not have an effect without an environmentally balanced macroeconomic policy, since without taking into account and correcting the development of the entire economy and its sectors (fuel, energy, metallurgy, agrarian, etc.), the effect of direct environmental investments will be minimal. It is obvious that without the access of the nation to the trajectory of sustainable development it is problematic to ensure a high quality of economic growth. However, we have to determine that resourceproducing countries and regions are following another way -first the economic growth, and then purification and restoration of the environment. Here the methodological basis can be the approaches developed by international organizations and initiative groups in the field of environmental protection.

The Impact of Urbanization on Carbon Emissions and Spatial–Temporal Differentiation Based on Meta-Analysis in China

“…Some studies also show that the impact of urbanization on carbon emissions is nonlinear. For example, Zarzoso and Maruotti consider the heterogeneity of different countries and believe that the relationship between urbanization and carbon emissions is an inverted U-shaped relationship that increases first and then decreases [9]; Qiu found that the relationship between the two is characterized by an inverted n-type [10,11]. In addition, some scholars such as Ji and Asumadu Sarkodie found that the impact of urbanization on carbon emissions is not significant [12,13].…”

Spatiotemporal Patterns and Influencing Mechanism of Urban Residential Energy Consumption in China

“…China, as the largest developing country globally, has become the largest energy consumer [1] and energy producer [2]. Energy has been a key factor in evaluating the sustainable development of an economy [3][4][5]. Residential energy consumption accounts for a large proportion of final energy consumption in China.…”

Mechanisms Implantation Of Intellectual Clusters In The Structure Of The Economy

“…Nor can the administrative economy provide this. Obviously, new models of global development are needed that focus on the survival of humanity in conditions of minimizing resource consumption (Bindzar et al, 2019). New models of global development will be based on new principles of physics and other natural Sciences that differ from those that formed the scientific and theoretical basis of the industrial economy.…”
