Abstract
. The article presents a comprehensive analysis of evolution of the sustainable development concept through the prism of key UN documents and modern scientific discussions. Particular attention is paid to the transformation of the traditional triad (economy, society, ecology) into an expanded model that includes the institutional component as an equivalent component of the system. The authors conducted a critical review of foreign and domestic studies, which revealed discrepancies in the interpretation of the structural elements of sustainable development and their interrelations. The study reveals the specifics of the implementation of the principles of sustainable development in the Russian Federation based on the comparison of national priorities with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The regulatory aspects and institutional mechanisms for adapting the global agenda to Russian conditions are analyzed. The study pays special attention to the analysis of motivational mechanisms that determine the policies of states in the field of sustainable development. As a key scientific result, an original visualized model is presented that systematically combines four fundamental elements of sustainable development: economic, social, environmental and institutional, with the emphasis on their dynamic interaction. The model differs from the existing analogues by its emphasis on the processes of adaptation and resistance to change, as well as a visual representation of systemic interrelations between the elements. The developed approach allows overcoming fragmentation of traditional interpretations of sustainable development. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the proposed model for strategic planning at various levels of management.
