Belief that the environment and sustainability are the foundation of both economic growth and sustainable development.

      6. Belief in the free market economy as the best socio-economic system for achieving sustainable development and in the market as a source of inspiration for finding the most effective means of improving the economy and reducing environmental impact.

      Green and sustainable development is not only a matter of science and technology, but also a matter of spiritual civilisation and the wisdom of the human spirit. This can be considered the basis and root of all remarkable achievements and progress in science and technology. It has never been possible to develop science and technology without adopting the philosophy of green development or hoping for the acceptability of the spirit of green and sustainable development. Then there will be no room for regrets.

      In addition, we must not forget that green and sustainable development is a subjective human project. All of its various goals cannot be achieved without a consensus among various stakeholders, which must be constantly built up through various actions of administrators and developers in order to bring about global change. Whether or not there is agreement with the above opinions and values, they exist to provide us with a vision and a framework for the future of humanity. Emphasising the importance of coexistence, cooperation and harmony between people, a new set of values and a new philosophy are proposed.

      It is a philosophy based on environmental ethics, environmental law, environmental philosophy and environmental economics, with the environment being one of the most important factors in the development, production and consumption of goods for the well-being of the entire planet.

      The main goal of the philosophy of sustainable development is to provide a better world for all people on our planet, the sustainable harmonious development of the ecosystems of the Earth and humanity, to create a comfortable and safe living environment for humans, not for the benefit of a few, a few people or for the benefit of one particular social class, but for the benefit of the whole society and all people in general, for prosperity for all nations. Ecosystems provide the natural resources and services on which human life depends. Human survival depends on these ecosystems.

      The philosophy of green sustainable development covers the following main aspects:

      1. Strategic, fundamental, theoretical and scientific foundations of sustainable development;

      2. Philosophical and ethical foundations of sustainable development;

      3. Scientific, theoretical and practical understanding and understanding of the principles and originality of green sustainable development.

      This is a philosophy that all people, all nations, all groups and all institutions must adopt, based on their experience and their consciousness, on the result of their aspirations to build a green and sustainable world order.

      In this sense, green sustainable development represents a way of thinking for the 21st century and the future in accordance with green sustainable principles.

      This is an ethically correct form of behaviour, human thinking and a form of relations between people, between people and the world community, between people and the Earth, between people and the Universe. The current strategy of green and sustainable development, used by mankind in the last two centuries on a global scale, has proved to be ineffective in terms of economic, social and environmental aspects, which has become the main reason for the current critical situation in which we live. A radical fundamental shift in the approach to green and sustainable development is required, which can be achieved through social re-education, since this is one of the most important factors in this process, but also one of the most difficult factors to implement. The need for social re-education stems from the complexity of the process called the green and sustainable development strategy, in which the importance of knowledge and the role of learning are decisive factors. Therefore, the need to develop a strategy for green and sustainable development can only be achieved in the process of learning and generalising the knowledge gained.

      When people begin to live as one family, with a common goal, to work for the benefit of all Humanity, for the benefit of all forms of life, then the planet, its people will be saved. It is a long and difficult path, which is based on green and sustainable development for socio-economic progress, to achieve an optimal state of society, and all this is in perfect harmony with the transformation and organisation of the Earth into a highly comfortable environment for the benefit of the planet as a whole. We can be sure that the most difficult stage is ahead. To achieve green sustainable development, you need to focus on three important things:

      1. To make people fully aware of the seriousness of the environmental problem of our planet.

      2. For people everywhere to recognise the benefits of living in harmony with nature and preserving the environment.

      3. So that people can change the current state of affairs and change the way they think and act.

      This can be achieved and humanity has everything that is required for this.

      Chapter 5

      The main value of green sustainable development is the emphasis on the rational use of the natural and environmental resources of the planet. It is based on the idea of managing and using the natural environment in such a way as to always maintain it in a useful and reproducible state, preserving the natural environment and preventing its use in which any damage can be done to it. The emphasis is on allocating much more human and financial resources to improve the quality of people’s lives, and not just on simply increasing the amount of material wealth. It is also based on the idea of creating an economic system aimed at creating a better standard of living for people, and not just looking for maximum profit margins for the benefit of a small part of the world’s population.

      The green economy is very different from the market economy of the welfare state under capitalism. The green economy is based on a completely new economic paradigm, which is based on the ability to support technological progress without adversely affecting the natural environment, keep nature healthy and vital, reduce the dominance of the economy over society as a whole, and subordinate the economic system to the needs of society and progress in general. When it comes to the preservation and protection of the environment, it is necessary for the survival of mankind. Life is impossible on a dead planet, and the death of the planet means that humanity will perish along with the planet. When we talk about environmental protection, there are no political, ideological or philosophical differences on this issue. At the same time, «Green, sustainable development» means the materialisation of an integrated approach in all aspects of life to promote green and sustainable development in various fields, provides a common basis for mobilising the launch of global changes to achieve the ultimate goal of green sustainable development at all levels. There is no doubt that one of the main elements of sustainable green development over the years has been the task of developing the material resources of the planet in a way that will allow people to live as comfortably as possible, achieve the greatest freedom with the least effort to engage in intellectual and creative growth, create a new culture of technological development and not just satisfy your hunger or satisfy your random whims. There should be a common criterion for evaluating different projects when it comes to development approach, and it should not be based solely on economic criteria for evaluating different projects. The economic system should not focus on the consumerism that occurs at the level of saturation.

      The essence of development at present is creative work on intellectual, spiritual and material culture. The development of intellectual and spiritual culture, in which a person is immersed for his own benefit, is the most important component of the development of civilisation and the world.

      The development of material culture is also the most important component of the development of civilisation and the world, since it is impossible to imagine the development of civilisation and the world without a developed material culture.

      For many years we
