The second half of the twentieth century the economic impact of humanity on the nature surrounding it has reached such destructive proportions that it is almost lost the ability to heal itself.

Global environmental issues and sustainable development – the problem of the cessation of the harmful impact of humanity on the environment.

In the middle of the last century, ecology was an internal affair of the country, because the consequences of contamination due to industrial activities occurred only in areas with excessively high concentration of hazardous industries. In the eighties environmental issues have acquired regional level, as emissions began to reach neighbouring countries, coming together with precipitation, wind.

In the nineties, the arena went global environmental problems of mankind. They manifest themselves in such negative trends as the destruction of the global ecosystem, the loss of resources abilities to heal itself, the expansion of zones of environmental disaster. But the most serious danger of our time becomes climate change. Increasing average annual temperature, respectively increases the frequency and intensity of extreme natural phenomena: floods, droughts, tornadoes, sudden frosts and thaws. In addition, warming may cause rising sea levels, flooding of significant territories, worsening shortage of fresh water. All this is doing to the environment and mankind serious damage.

Climate Change associated with increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, that is, strengthening the “greenhouse effect”. Harmful gases into the atmosphere from fuel combustion, deforestation and so on. However, there is another opinion, according to which the cause is not global environmental issues, and the age-old rhythms of solar activity and climatic cycles.

Pollution Effects

The Main effects of contamination are that irreparable harm to the health of animals and humans, too polluted areas become unfit for human habitation and normal operations. The main environmental problems of our time, if not addressed, can eventually lead to the fact that the biosphere completely loses the ability to cleanse itself and will collapse.

Public policy

The Aggravation of global environmental problems led to a change in state policy of many countries in respect of environmental protection. Government began to set environmental standards, to spend more money on environmental protection measures.

In the eighties the international community has recognized that global environmental problems cannot be solved within individual States. Developed the concept of sustainable development, according to which it is necessary to ensure the development of countries, taking into account the needs of not only present but also future generations. The result was a contradiction: how to ensure sustainable development and simultaneously reduce the negative impact on the environment. In 1997 was adopted the Kyoto Protocol, which defines the maximum volume of emissions in atmosphere of harmful greenhouse gases. The main goal of the Protocol-emission reduction of 5.2% compared with 1990 levels.

Today, many developed countries have been able to significantly reduce the level of pollution or at least stabilize it. It should be noted that reducing emissions will cost developed countries very expensive, and the benefits are apparent only in the long term. However, global environmental problems require solutions, but all the costs need to be incurred now, then it's too late.
