Устойчивое развитие и его значение

Abstract

The topic of sustainable development is extremely relevant, especially now, given the problem of climate change and environmental pollution. Constant population growth not only increases the area of residence and territories developed by human society, but also rapidly increases the consumption of resources and, as a result, destroys the natural environment, changes the climate, making many territories uninhabitable and the natural environment less diverse. This topic is also relevant in an educational sense, because by forming a holistic competence-based approach to the teaching of geography, we turn to the 5th specific competence, which is aimed at implementing a value-based approach to natural and cultural heritage and civic responsibility of the child (human). In Grades 8, 9 and 12, the formation of this skill among schoolchildren is also largely related to the theme of "sustainable development".
