Changes and trends in the development of the world economy

Abstract

Global challenges such as climate change, population growth, the spread of disease, global food security, the supply of fossil fuels and raw materials require sustainable solutions, which can only be facilitated through research, new technologies and the dissemination of innovations. Therefore, some countries have substantiated and implemented sustainable development strategies, which can become models for all governments in the world. In this paper, we exemplify some strategies that have had a positive impact on economic and social development, but also on environmental protection. Recognition of sustainable development as a model for solving threats to the future of mankind has relatively easily passed the stage of theoretical debates, becoming the premise on which global and national policies are based. Although ideologically the lines of argumentation continue to be animated, the transformations in the direction of sustainable development are in full swing and are becoming more and more clearly highlighted in all areas of socio-economic life.
