围绕着人类生存和发展两大主题,发达国家提出了可持续发展问题。我国也在《21世纪人口、环境与发展白皮书》中.正式提出要重视和实现可持续发展问题。尽管目前对可持续发展概念界定还缺乏统一认识,但其基本点是不约而同的,也就是通过合理利用资源和保护环境,实现自然——经济——社会相互协调的可持续发展。 Around the two major themes of human existence and development, the developed countries have put forward the issue of sustainable development. China is also in the “White Paper on Population, Environment and Development in the 21st Century”, formally proposing to attach importance to and realize the issue of sustainable development. Although there is a lack of common understanding of the definition of sustainable development at present, its basic principle is that it invariably refers to the sustainable development of natural-economic-social harmony through rational use of resources and protection of the environment.
