The essence of new development philosophy is sustainable development. Its essence is a process of change in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development, and institutional change are all in harmony and enhance both current and future potential to meet human needs and aspirations. To achieve global sustainability we need to stop thinking of ecological and economic goals as being in conflict. Environment and sustainable development have long been at the centre of the international scientific and professional public attention, and also at the centre of the entire international community, which is increasingly becoming aware of the truth of Albert Einstein's words that „ problems can not be solved by the same level of thinking which created them“. Therefore, raising the awareness and knowledge of the environment and sustainable development is nowdays almost of equal importance as the matter of survival of civilisation. Therefore, the fundamental guiding principle is the thesis that the environmental protection is considered a serious social and economic problem which must be tackled holistically if we want to ensure and preserve the life quality for us alone, as well as for generations to come, but also that it is a significant part of all segments of human life.
