Socio-economic and theoretical and methodological aspects of sustainable development

Abstract

Sustainable development is a concept that has gained significant attention in recent years due to the increasing global concerns about environmental degradation, social inequality, and economic instability. This paper aims to explore the socio-economic and theoretical-methodological aspects of sustainable development. It begins by defining sustainable development and discussing its three pillars: economic, social, and environmental. The paper then delves into the socio-economic aspects, focusing on the relationship between sustainable development and poverty alleviation, inequality reduction, and economic growth. Next, it explores the theoretical and methodological frameworks used to analyze and measure sustainable development, including the Human Development Index (HDI) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The paper concludes by highlighting the importance of integrating socio-economic and theoretical-methodological aspects to achieve sustainable development.
