Sustainable Development: Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs.

Is the future bright?

Alterations in climate will lead to disasters that will completely change our lives. Scientists suggest that big disasters like global warming, floods, twisters, melting icebergs will become a serious trouble which mankind has to face.

The effects can be seen in diverse areas. Destruction of natural heritages, economic and financial changes, wars and so on. A financial depression can exist in the Far East and this can badly influence finance systems and the global economy. The more disaster we encounter, the more money we lose. Are we ready for these?

Sustainability and mankind

A human is born in an environment and grows benefiting from nature. When we consider the relation between human and nature, we can easily encounter the economic aspects since the beginning of life on earth. Human beings establish social institutions, industries and history on nature and want to get more than it can give. An economic situation has come about as people draw on the environment.

Real economic problem is satisfying our needs from scarce goods which nature endows us and these is no doubt that human beings have overused and wasted.

When a system is set up or executed, we know this system and the environment are interrelated. We can say that the main subject of economic affairs is very related to the environment. Industrial establishments, service oriented institutions use human factor which is formed by natur and psychical factors. We must comprehend 'human-environment-sustainable development' triangle very well. Most of the things are based on this. Sustainable resources, renewable energy sources, application of complex system dynamics and human-nature relation are the fundemental concepts of environmental sciences and they are so vital for economic process of a country.

Sustainability has become more important up to date. Besides, innovations form new economies and can cause environmental problems. Environmental problems can cause new economic problems.
