Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present the foundations
for conducting a national policy for sustainable development as a leading philosophy of the present days and a concept whose implementation is imperative for the survival of mankind.
The concept of sustainable development might be enabled by the normative acts, strategic development documents, institutional structure etc. Nevertheless, it is an indisputable fact that, in this context, the Constitution and the national legislation prevail as key factors ensuring sustainability of the entire social development of a country.
Globally perceived, the concept of sustainable development has started to appear at the beginning of the 1970's, as a response to the intensive technological and economical development, which were not taking into account the environmental issues and protection of natural
resources.
Sustainable development is a development for satisfaction of the needs of today's generations, without endangering the possibilities of the future generations to satisfy their own needs.
This paper explores the incorporation of regulations leading towards sustainable development in the Constitution of the Republic of Macedonia as well as in the laws standardizing the environment issues (the Laws on: Environment, Nature Protection, Waste Management, Ambient Air Quality, and Waters).
The analyses made resulted in the conclusion that the Constitution and the laws in the sphere of environment have been created to ensure sustainable development.
