Abstract
The historical and genetic approach is used to examine main stages of evolution of the concept of sustainable development. The study typifies economic suppositions that formed theoretical essentials of the concept. T. Malthus' principle of population pioneered in elucidating an impact of human factor on environment. A. Marshall put forward economic science as an independent discipline – Economics, which aims at studying lifestyle, activities and human thought under influence of surrounding, where nature plays the most important role. V. Vernadskyi's concept of noosphere encourages integration of mankind in its coevolution of man and nature, and achievement of "the state of global equilibrium", which founders of the Club of Rome suggest in "The Limits to Growth". Theories of economic growth highlight main factors of growth and significance of "new combinations" (J. Schumpeter) to solve global problems. A number of UN conferences show particular contribution of international organization in supporting the concept of sustainable development: the Stockholm Declaration (1972), "Our Common Future" (1987), "Agenda 21" (1992), MDG (2000), "The future we want" (2012). The paper identifies ways to achieve sustainable development, proposed by P. Rogers et al. The research outcomes demonstrate the major consequences for obtaining of sustainable development to preserve environment for future generations.
