How to address the scarcity of resources

Implementation of sustainable development strategies.

Sustainable development means taking into account both the needs of current and future development. Its content includes economically sustainable development, socially sustainable development and ecologically sustainable development. The core is to realize the coordinated development of economy and society and population, resources and environment. Modern countries generally take measures from two aspects to resolve the above contradictions. On the one hand, they use a combination of market and government intervention to rationally allocate resources, pay attention to environmental protection in order to maximize the benefits of resources; adopt advanced technologies to improve resource utilization; plan the use of resources and economize on resources; expand external exchanges and use international resources; and limit the rapid growth of the population and its consumption. On the other hand, reforming and improving the production and distribution systems, as well as the political and cultural systems, in order to increase efficiency and seek social equity, and, while developing the economy, to ease and minimize conflicts of interest and struggles among people, and to maintain and safeguard social stability. It should be pointed out that the two measures are interactive and mutually reinforcing.
