Features: The essence of sustainable development lies in addressing the contradiction between the infinite demands of economic and social development and the limited capacity of natural ecological supply, with the foundation of comprehensive human development. China's choice of sustainable development as a long-term development strategy to enter the 21st century is both a wise decision and an inevitable choice. This is because, whether from China's status and role in the world or from the realities of China's national conditions and its own development characteristics, China has no other path but to pursue sustainable development. Guided by the scientific concept of comprehensive, coordinated, and sustainable development, this book, based on the practical economic realities of China's development being paramount, employs an interdisciplinary research method integrating economics, environmental science, demography, education, and philosophy of science. It systematically studies the fundamental theories of coordinated development among population, resources, environment, science and technology, education, economy, and society, emphasizing the sustainable development of China's economy, and proposes countermeasures for China's sustainable development in the future regarding population, resources, environment, science and technology, education, economy, and society.
