Abstract:

Sustainable development includes at least four aspects: perpetual development, all-round development, common development and orderly development.To achieve the four goals of sustainable development, the author of this paper, from the perspective of ethics, suggests implementing three basic ethical principles.1) Inside-the-generation-justice requires that the development of a country or a region should not damage the development of other countries and regions when contemporaries utilize the natural resources to satisfy their own benefits.They share the equal rights of development.2) Justice between contemporaries and offspring requires that the development of contemporaries should not damage the development of offspring.3) The harmonious development of human beings and nature requires the symbiotic development of human beings and other species.

Key words: basic ethical principles, inside-the-generation-justice, justice between contemporaries and off-spring, harmonious development of human beings and nature
