Neo-industrial base for sustainable development of raw-materials cluster

Today the issues of overcoming the environmental consequences of the negative structural shift of the Russian economy, accelerating the rate of economic growth, reducing the technological and social-and-economic separation from developed countries are becoming strategically in demand for extractive clusters. The need for methodological and theoretical support of the neo-industrialization of the Russian economy raises the urgency of analyzing ways to solve environmental problems, relying on reducing the share of raw materials production in the gross regional product. The emergence of an innovative paradigm raises environmental requirements for industry, raises the priority of interaction institutions between the state, science and business in the process of reducing environmental damage. The leading role is played by the analysis of innovative nature protection activities in extractive clusters and structuring the competitive advantages of the economy, not related to the export of raw materials

Human Potential in the System of Sustainable Development

Суть устойчивого развития заключается в том, что прогресс нынешнего поколения не идет вразрез с интересами будущих поколений. В классическом определении баланс между поколениями понимается как баланс потребностей. Однако слово «потребности» можно трактовать по-разному. Во-первых, мы можем говорить о способности удовлетворять потребности в контексте наличия природных ресурсов. Это означает, что мы должны оставить будущим поколениям такой же объем ресурсов, который есть у нас, чтобы они могли удовлетворить свои потребности с помощью этих ресурсов. Во-вторых, мы можем говорить о способности удовлетворять потребности как об уровне жизни. Это означает, что для будущих поколений он должен быть как минимум таким же, как уровень жизни нашего поколения. Инвестирование ресурсов в развитие человеческого капитала и знаний обеспечат в перспективе будущим поколениям обеспечат более высокий уровень жизни за счет роста знаний. Следовательно, фактор человеческого капитала, определяющий темпы внедрения инновационных технологий и уход от ресурсоемких производств, будет определять устойчивое развитие в процессе перехода к постиндустриальной экономике

Human Potential in the System of Sustainable Development

The essence of sustainable development is that the progress of the current generation does not go against the interests of future generations. In the classical definition, the balance between generations is understood as the balance of needs. However, the word “needs” can be interpreted differently. First, we can talk about the ability to meet the needs in the context of the availability of natural resources. This means that we must leave to future generations the same amount of resources that we have, so that they can meet their needs with these resources. Secondly, we can talk about the ability to meet the needs as a standard of living. This means that for future generations it should be at least the same as the standard of living of our generation. At the same time, it is absolutely not necessary that this be achieved due to the availability of natural resources. For example, we can now invest some resources in the development of human capital and knowledge, and future generations will provide a higher standard of living through the growth of knowledge. Consequently, the factor of human capital, determining the pace of introduction of innovative technologies and moving away from resource-intensive industries, will determine sustainable development in the process of transition to a post-industrial economy

The Principles of Sustainable Development as a Form of Structural Transformation

Sustainable development today covers not only certain aspects of the environmental and economic aspects of society. The very structure of the economy, in particular the production sphere, as well as the whole society, is changing radically. Moreover, the structure is not only a systemological, but also the category of sustainable development. It acts as the basis of any material phenomenon or process, that is, it serves as a relatively stable basis on which more mobile elements function. Therefore, the closest concept that allows revealing the essence of sustainable development, the problem of cognition of environmental and economic transformations, transformations and their regulation, is the structure. It is by using the disclosure of the structure as a fundamental element of the system of sustainable development that can reveal the factors of deep changes in the economy, under the influence of which the transformation of industry towards modern environmental guidelines, and with it employment, investment, innovation, systems of their state regulation

Convergent and Nature-Like Technologies as the Basis for Sustainable Development in the 21st Century

The global challenge of the 21st century is associated with the need to ensure the sustainable development of modern countries. The basic condition for such development is an adequate amount of energy and resources. This means using not oil and gas only but supplies of drinking water, arable land, forests, and other mineral resources are being rapidly depleted. The industrial civilization, in only 200 years of its existence, has put the world on the threshold of a resource collapse. The reason for the current crisis situation is the antagonism of nature and the technosphere created by man. Technical progress has violated the natural resource turnover – a peculiar metabolism of nature, creating technologies that are hostile to it. These technologies, being torn from the natural context, are in fact bad copies of individual elements of natural processes and are based on a highly specialized model of science and industry-specific technologies. Consequently, the transition to sustainable development requires a radical technological modernization of the economy, in particular, widespread diffusion and inter-sectoral transfer of convergent and nature-like technologies

Expanding of Green and Renewable Energy as a Condition for Economy Transition to Sustainable Development

All over the world, the topic of green growth is relevant, that is, the growth of economies through the use of modern, environmentally sound, energy efficient technologies, including the use of alternative energy sources. In a modern, dynamically changing society, renewable energy sources are of interest to an increasing number of people. This interest is quite justified, since recently coherent problems of energy and environment are becoming more and more obvious. When discussing emerging problems, the leaders of states and international organizations more often come to the conclusion that in the future these problems can be solved only with the use of environmentally friendly renewable energy sources. The development of green and renewable energy is of particular importance for the Russian industry, in which, on the one hand, the fuel and energy sector occupies one of the main places. On the other hand, the transition to sustainable development is impossible without reducing the impact of energy on the environment, which is intended to contribute to the development of green and renewable energy

Sustainable Development vs. Post-Industrial Transformation: Possibilities for Russia

Today the theory of postindustrial society is one of the most widespread concepts which allow adequately comprehending the largescale changes that have occurred in the ecological consciousness of Western societies for the last thirty years. Offered in the late 1960s and early 1970s by American and European researchers in the field of economics, social philosophy, and ecology, the integrated idea of sustainable development in postindustrial era incorporated the best elements of the scientific tradition dating back to the Age of Enlightenment. The article emphasizes that the key to modern social progress is the rapid technological development based on the transformation of science into a direct productive force. The measure of such progress is a shift from pure economic growth to the sustainable development. The authors describe the ways of changing Russian Government's attitude to economy regulation in postindustrial development to achieve the goals of sustainable development
