Summary/Abstract: In the work notes that the preservation of the planet’s biosphere and its ecosystems (especiallymountain) is one of the main goals of the transition to such a global process as sustainable development.Moreover, not only the goal, but also with the condition of its realization, is the natural foundation onwhich sustainable development should be realized as a successively unfolding new socio-natural process.The concept of planetary boundaries is discussed, which concretizes the concept of “the carrying capacityof the biosphere” and defines “a safe working space for humanity”, that allows it to survive and furtherdevelop progressively. The concept of planetary boundaries establishes a corridor of global environmentalsecurity, within which the biosphere is minimally destroyed by anthropogenic activities.
