Abstract
It is common today in environmental, political, economic, and biological studies to recognise the importance of sustainability and sustainable development (SD). It is also recognised that an essential part of SD is the evaluation of risks. But it should be stressed that the concept of SD has to date been descriptive without strict formalisation. There are many definitions of SD — in papers, memorandums, declarations, and programs (see for example [1–3]), including Agenda 21 after the Rio de Janeiro Summit in 1992 [4]. Since 1992 there have been many advances in developing SD concepts, but it have been many difficulties in formalisation and implementation of this concept at the global and regional scales.
