Realizacja idei zrównoważonego rozwoju a niestabilność fiskalna w Pol
Threats to the Implementation of the Idea of Sustainable Development Resulting from Fiscal Unsustainability – the Case of Poland

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is, firstly, to present the fiscal unsustainability as a result of decision-makers’ failure to implement the sustainable development concept in a responsible way, and, secondly, to indicate what risks are posed by fiscal unsustainability in Poland caused by focusing on current benefits at the expense of intra- or intergenerational solidarity. The study is based on primary data describing the condition of public finance and the socio-economic situation in Poland in the years 2000-2012, as well as on medium- and long-term forecasts for the following years. Conclusions on the relationship between the fiscal unsustainability and the capability to implement the idea of social development based on equal opportunities and responsibility for the future are presented in the form of summary. The paper is conceptual in nature.
