Abstract
The last two decades or so – since the Brundtland Report1 (1987, Rio de Janeiro), then the Paris Climate Agreement2 under the auspices of the United Nations3 (2015, Paris), then the adoption of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (2015, New York) – have been characterized by a tremendous increase in attention to ecological topics. At first, these were simply environmental issues (respect for the environment and the need to reduce anthropogenic impact on it), then issues of the climate agenda (deterioration of the temperature regime of the living environment) and, finally, today humanity has come to the need to consider environmental (climate), economic and social processes in their close interconnection and interdependence (17 Sustainable Development Goals).
