Abstract

The article analyzes a complex of global problems, including climate change, reduction of biological diversity, exponential population growth, lack of natural resources and living space, environmental pollution, which pose a threat to the near future of humanity, outlines the ways of a new vector of socioeconomic development based on its alignment with the laws of the evolution of the biosphere, reveals the laws of conservation of natural ecosystems and the biosphere as a whole, the nature-destructive nature of the existing consumer vector of industrial production, which led to a global environmental crisis, is shown, the need to reduce industrial pressure on the biosphere is justified, the expediency of developing environmentally safe technologies and the approval of a new humanism as a necessary condition for achieving a safe future is indicated. The article substantiates the position that the achievement of a secure future is possible on the basis of a radical revision of value orientations in the interaction of society and nature, that the further development of society, the determination of ways for further socio-economic development is inextricably linked with the preservation of natural ecosystems, with their ability to restore disturbed processes within the economic capacity of the biosphere, since its excess leads to a violation of the biological cycle of energy and matter, to a violation of the ecological balance in the biosphere.
