The paper gives the essence of the concept of sustainable development through theoretical basis of interdevelopment of ecological and economic thought. Sustainable development implies the interaction between the development and environment through mutual conditionality and complementary of development policy and environmental protection policy by consideration of the laws of ecological systems. This is the reason why the determination of qualitative and quantitative indicators of sustainable development is a key prerequisite for improvement of sustainable society. During the nineties in the 20th century numerous programs which had the aim of elaboration of indicators of sustainable development appeared.
