Abstract
This paper discusses the place and role of cryology in achieving the common goal of Science in the 21-st century – scientific provision for sustainable development. Characteristic features of the period of transition from the social-economic system (SES) to the ecological-social-economic system (ESES) are analyzed. Much attention is given to the necessity of creating and developing mechanisms for the maintenance of ESES homeostasis, increasing the significance of studies and regulating the flows of resources.
