MAKING DEVELOPMENT SUSTAINABLE THROUGH EFFICIENT NATURAL RESOURCES' CONSUMPTION.

This paper represents the beginning of a research done on the entire idea of sustainable development and natural resources' management. During the paper there were some conceptual limits needed to be premastered especially when it comes to interpreting at today's standards the principles adopted in resolutions that were developed more than 30 years ago. Efficient consumption for natural resources represents one of the key findings when it comes to achieving sustainability on the long run for the concept of development and its vertical and horizontal integration in the globalization mechanism. The paper also reaches the chronological and logical path of developing institutional entities that it would help protect natural resources, but also it would emphasize the idea of empowering sustainable development as an evolutionary and functional concept.
