Abstract
The article presents the model for social-ecology-economic acceptable and sustainable development based on the mutual subordination of subsystems. The model was created within the concept of sustainable development and is based on the principle of use of matter and energy by living organisms and the principle of circularity of matters in the biosphere. The authors study the problem of the sustainable development evaluation of the systems and their integral indicators. The most popular and even globally recognized methods have one major flaw that is applying financial indicators in sustainability evaluation. The authors suggest using universal units of measurement for quantitative characteristics of evaluation of development sustainability both of the biosphere as a whole and of socio-economic-environmental systems or social, economic and environmental systems taken separately.
