Ecology in the Context of Sustainability

Sustainable development and sustainability itself is a very complex concept that combines and intertwines environmental, economic and social areas. The first mentioned environmental area is very important and dominant in this context, as the other two areas can be compensated in a certain way compared to the factors and resulting consequences that have a negative effect on the environment, which are often irreversible. Current trends in environmental care and ecology itself are characterized by the principles of complexity, integration, interdisciplinarity and transregionality. Within ecology, in connection with sustainability, there is also the so-called environmental management, which represents a set of technical tools and methods of environmental management, based on the identification of environmental aspects of products, activities and services of any type of organization, with the aim of adopting and implementing effective proactive measures to reduce them negative impact on the environment as such. The benefit of solving these topics is not only in the area of enlightenment and naming starting points, but also in bringing closer and establishing contexts for possible future research activities. The aim of this article is to define the basic principles and connections within the solved issue of ecology and sustainability as a prerequisite for meeting the needs of the present without jeopardizing the demands of future generations within the framework of sustainable development.
