Abstract: | In this paper, the up-to-date global systemic problems are presented, and their major socioeconomic roots are identified (excessive
consumerism, inadequacy of institutions, moral crisis). A novel approach to sustainable development, focused on the integrated
ethical, spiritual, physical, intellectual and socioecological human development, instead of dominating consumerism and technocentrism,
is proposed to prevent the systemic problems. Proportion of healthy population is proposed as the principal indicator of sustainable
human development. Application of this indicator to specific country in comparison with the human development index is provided.
The specific institutional (eco-centric institutions), economic (eco-taxation, changing consumption and production patterns)
and technological (eco-efficiency, “green” energy) reforms are suggested as the necessary conditions of transition to sustainable
human development, while human mentality, based on the eco-centric grounds (socioecological well-being), environmental and
human health, justice and holistic human development is considered as its key condition that can be achieved through an appropriate
social and educational policy. |
