NUMBER of MAGAZINE: 29 (3) 2007ã.
The HEADING: IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION
AUTHORS: Svechnikov Alexander
1.The world community's concerns over the nature protection resulted in ecologizating all sides of the public life. In international relations, this became apparent in extension of inter-state cooperation in many areas of nature protection. The important role in this cooperation is played by the United Nations that set up a number of institutions to address these problems. Of these, the most effective is the UN Environment Protection program (UNEP) that coordinates the efforts to solve the acute problems of man-caused influence on the biosphere, and publishes global ecological forecasts.
2.The non-governmental ecological organizations profoundly contribute to nature protection, their number came into hundreds in the world. One of them, the Green Peace independent international non-governmental organization, totals to 1.5 million members, and aims at preventing environment degradation. The Green Peace has the status of the full member or the official observer in some conventions on the environment protection. The Green Peace has brunches in 32 countries; its official mission in the Russian Federation operates since 1992.
3.The process of ecologizing has noticeably touched upon another important element of the public life - the politics. By now, there are, probably, no state without ecologically focused legislation or governmental nature protection institutions. However, the activities of non-governmental and political organizations, called 'green' by their participants, are of special interest. These organizations play significant role in solving the environmental problems.
