Summary/Abstract: The objective of the study was to compare two countries: Japan and Poland. We evaluated the two countries in terms of basic indicators of sustainable development. In addition, the diagnosis was performed of sustainable development activities in both countries. We compared the countries in human development index and the measure competitiveness. They are measures of sustainable development. This study found that Japan was a highly developed country, where much had been done to make the development sustainable. This country has vast experience. It has a lot of success in this field, but also several defeats. Poland as a country which is trying to act according to the rules of sustainable development, should draw on the experience of Japanese society to make as few as possible the same or similar mistakes.
