Anotace:	The state of the environment is currently a major global problem. Pollution is considered aserious threat in industrialized countries, where the quality of life is measured by thegrowth of material production. Meanwhile, the environment has become a seriousobstacle to economic development and poverty alleviation in developing countries.Humanity's relationship with the environment has gone through several phases, startingwith primitive periods when people lived in a state of symbiosis with nature, followed by aperiod of increasing dominance of nature until the industrial age, and culminating in a rapidresource-consuming manner and the growth of the twentieth century, which affectednatural resources in several ways. More recently, humanity's attitude toward theenvironment has evolved to include more active projects and policies to predict andminimize environmental degradation. In this context, many experts consider the conceptof sustainable development and environmental economics as an evolving field ofeconomics. Prior to the 1970s, little attention was paid to the growth and development ofthis field of knowledge in economics. The first oil crisis in 1973 and the subsequentoccurrence of relatively high environmental damage on a global scale prompted scholarsto apply economic tools to environmental science. Nowadays, people around the worldhave realized that the environment is not just a study of flora and fauna, but a synthesis ofthe study of different branches of knowledge, such as science, economics, philosophy,ethics, and anthropology. Therefore, environmental economics requires a detailedunderstanding of the various environmental factors, their impacts, and their functions forthe environment and for human life in the present and in the future.The concept of sustainable development is an approach that allows for theimprovement of the quality of life at a lower intensity of resource use, leaving futuregenerations with an unchanged or even increased supply of natural resources and othervalues. Sustainable development is a key factor in creating added value and innovation,and at the same time can make a critical contribution to the economic development ofindividuals and society as a whole. In a free market and a well-functioning economy, it couldstrike a balance between economic prosperity, social cohesion, and the rational use ofnatural resources. The general impetus has been renewed by the success of the Agenda2030 and the Paris Agreement. At the same time, people around the world are beginningto worry about inequality, slow growth, job loss, and globalization, which is reflected in thestimuli of socio-economic difficulties. The Organization for Economic Cooperation andDevelopment (OECD) aims to help countries sustain socio-economic growth through threekey aspects: green ecological growth, inclusive growth, and productivity growth. Theconcept of green growth is able to provide a monitoring framework with a set of four broadgroups of indicators and the strategy of economic transformation. The aim of these policiesis to create a socio-economic and environmental system to assess the impact of economicactivity on the environment.
