Ecological economics takes more complicated approaches to environmental problems and focuses on long-term environmental sustainability and issues of scale. It can been seen that keeping sustainable ability of ecological environment through international cooperation will realize the harmonious development of social economy, the best welfare for human beings, therefore, the view of sustainable development has deep and wide connotations.
