Abstract: The relevance of the study is due to the need to find a balance of human existence in the human ecosystem over a long period. Ecological and climatic risks and the limited resources available in the 21st century (hydrocarbons, minerals, water, etc.) pose significant risks to human existence. Despite significant efforts and progress in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world is currently facing significant challenges that hinder the realization of these goals. These challenges include economic inequality, conflicts, increasing climate-related disasters, a lack of sustainable technologies, and more. The purpose of this study is to analyze and evaluate the current state of the economy, identify the advantages and disadvantages of sustainable development and ESG ratings, and determine the prospects for their development.
