Abstract
In order to achieve the goals of sustainable development, Vietnam and other countries must associate their development process with the task of protecting the natural environment.  In essence, human beings and nature are a unity. Therefore, if human beings destroy nature to meet increasing needs, it also means that human beings are gradually destroying their "inorganic body". The inevitable result will be the fact that human beings pay dearly for their mistakes or exchange for the survival of humanity. From this perspective, environmental ethics plays a particularly important role in sustainable development in Vietnam nowadays because they are a set of ethical principles and standards that regulate, evaluate, control human behavior in the natural environment.
