1. Sustainable development emphasizes development, which is a common and universal right of human beings. Both developed and developing countries should enjoy equal and inalienable rights to development, and development is more important to developing countries. Facts show that developing countries are facing the dual pressures of poverty and ecological deterioration. Poverty leads to ecological deterioration, which in turn aggravates poverty.
Second, environmental protection and sustainable development are closely related. Sustainable development regards environmental construction as an important content to realize development, because environmental construction can not only create many direct or indirect economic benefits for development, but also escort development and provide suitable environment and resources for development.
Third, sustainable development holds that everyone has legal environmental rights in environmental protection. Environmental rights and obligations are relative, a right to others and an obligation to oneself. People's environmental rights and obligations are equal and unified. This right should be respected and maintained by others.
Fourth, sustainable development requires people to abandon the traditional production and consumption patterns. We must promptly and resolutely change the traditional development model-that is, first reduce and then eliminate the production and consumption patterns that cannot make development sustainable. On the one hand, it requires people to invest as little as possible and produce more; On the other hand, people are required to use as much as possible and emit less.
