Project description
The research aim is based on the acknowledged most complex strategy of the global world – sustainable development. The principle of sustainability must be examined as one of the most important criteria in all areas of human activity. Without proper education and promotion of this strategy neither social and political development, nor science and research in most disciplines can be pursued. The aim is to achieve active participation of the public in implementing sustainable principles in the overall development of society. The method lies in identifying crucial aspects of sustainability for preserving the acceptable level of environmental components and natural resources; further to quantify and develop indicators of sustainability. Specification of target groups and raising public awareness of SD is a necessary part of this.
Results will form the base for:
1. further research and development in various disciplines;
2. development of sustainable strategies in various human activities;
3. education and public participation in sustainability.
