Abstract
The concept of sustainable development has been formulated at a time when modern humanity gained the technological means to carry out almost any transformation of the world around us, but, at the same time also got lost in the goals that their actions should serve. This is connected with the phenomenon of globalization based on egoistic axiology, the priority of which is the uncompromising pursuit of maximum profit. Fortunately, the other globalization – called inclusive globalization – is possible. It is based on eco-humanistic axiology, referring to the common good and coherent with sustainable development concept.
The article presents threats and challenges of the contemporary globalization, looking for the solutions that can make our future sustainable.
