Abstract

At the present stage, the global community is looking for an answer not only to military and conflict challenges, but also to the ecological challenge of our civilization, which is the quintessence of the results of its destructive economic and nature-forming activities. The deterioration of the standard and quality of life in many countries of the Eastern Partnership, emerging difficulties in the development of the world economy, and finally, the general systemic crisis of modern civilization are associated with the ecological problem, military clashes and threats of new escalations in the post-Soviet region. The conditions of human survival require more active development and implementation of a single global strategy for safe social development, guaranteeing the transition to a society where the interests of the economy, politics, and social life will be purposefully coordinated with the possibilities of nature. This can be considered a discovery of our time and the main reason for the formation of the strategy of co-evolution of society and nature.
