LIFE SAFETY AS A CONCEPTUAL BASIS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The article examines life safety as a key condition for achieving sustainable development of society, as well as its conceptual basis. The relationship between life safety and the concept of sustainable development in modern society is considered. The author emphasizes that life safety is a key prerequisite for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as it ensures the preservation of life, human health and environmental integrity. Scientific approaches to defining the concept of "life safety" and its components, including environmental, technogenic, sanitary-epidemiological, social and other types of safety, are analyzed. The history of the implementation of the concept of sustainable development at the international and national levels is studied, in particular, the adoption of the UN "2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development", the development of the national strategy of Ukraine "Ukraine - 2020", the adaptation of the SDGs to national conditions and the implementation of a monitoring system for the implementation of the SDGs. The role of state policy in ensuring life safety and integrating the principles of sustainable development into the country's legal, economic, social and educational strategies is highlighted. The author concludes that life safety and sustainable development are interrelated categories: safety acts as a mandatory prerequisite for sustainable development, and its effective provision contributes to the harmonious socio-economic and cultural-natural development of society. Ensuring comprehensive security is the foundation for the implementation of national strategies, the formation of a culture of responsible existence and maintaining a high quality of life.
