This paper is a critical analysis of the sustainable development issue, especially in term of environmental sphere. Author tries to prove that even if well-off countries spend more and more money to protect environment, however the real effects of their actions are relatively week. The current model of economy cannot solve the problem with waste, CO2 emission or extraction of natural resources because it is contrary to the interests of global economic powers. It is therefore proposed to change linear model of economy into circular, which guarantee sustainability and competitiveness simultaneously, what was proven by Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.

Niniejszy artykuł jest krytyczną analizą problematyki zrównoważonego rozwoju, zwłaszcza w sferze ekologii. Autorka podejmuje próbę wykazania, że nawet jeśli bogate kraje wydają coraz więcej środków na ochronę przyrody, to jednak efekty ich działań są relatywnie słabe. Współczesny, neo-liberalny model ekonomii nie rozwiązuje bowiem problemów związanych z odpadami, emisją CO2 czy nadmiernym zużyciem naturalnych zasobów, gdyż jest to sprzeczne z interesem światowych potęg gospodarczych. Autorka proponuje zatem zmianę liniowego modelu gospodarowania na cyrkularny, który gwarantuje trwałość a jednocześnie i konkurencyjność, co zostało udowodnione testem korelacji ran Spearmana.
