Description
Summary:The article gives grounds for necessity of interconnection of economic development and environmental protection. Elimination of conflict between economic development and environmental protection is possible on the basis of ecologization of international economic relations, meaning substitution of anthropocentric approach for ecocentric approach to the sustainable development. Evolution of the concept of sustainable development clearly shows that today economic development is not limited by the level of scientific and technological progress but by the state of environment. We are facing empowerment of environmental component of the concept of sustainable development comparing to its economic component. Principle of sustainable development has been formed as principle of international law. The author argues that principle of sustainable development is inter-branch principle of international environmental and international economic law.
