  • Environmental Disasters As a Factor of Environmental Pollution
    E3S Web of Conferences 217, 04007 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202021704007 ERSME-2020 Environmental disasters as a factor of environmental pollution Galina Semenova1,2,* ¹Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Stremyanny lane, 36, Moscow, Russia ²Moscow Region State University, 24, Vera Voloshina Str., Mytishchi, Moscow Region, Russia Abstract. An ecological catastrophe consists in a massive change in natural conditions that lead to a change in the environment and the death of living organisms. Disaster can be caused by both natural processes and human actions. Losses after such disasters are often irreparable. Economic reasons worse the ecological situation. Wastewater treatment plants are very expensive, so industrialists often prefer to save on and forget about the environment during the construction and operation of new production facilities. The pursuit of immediate profits without thinking about tomorrow, undoubtedly, deepens the crisis in the field of ecology, thereby resulting in environmental disasters. The subject of this study is global environmental disasters. The purpose of the study is to identify the influence of the negative impact of substances on the environment. Methodology. To study the topic, the world environmental disasters and the damage caused by their impact on the environment were systematized. Results - the damage (harm) from the negative impact on the environment was revealed, the calculation formulas were given. 1 Introduction An environmental disaster is usually understood as an irreversible change in the natural complex, which can lead to the death of living beings. The definition indicates that these can be even the smallest species of organisms. An important type of this phenomenon is the water environmental disaster.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 rM£ S£S F 20 ABSTRACT Strategic Scarcity: The Origins and Impact of Environmental Conflict Ideas Elizabeth Hartmann This thesis examines the origins and impact of environmental conflict ideas. It focuses on the work of Canadian political scientist Thomas Homer-Dixon, whose model of environmental conflict achieved considerable prominence in U.S. foreign policy circles in the 1990s. The thesis argues that this success was due in part to widely shared neo-Malthusian assumptions about the Third World, and to the support of private foundations and policymakers with a strategic interest in promoting these views. It analyzes how population control became an important feature of American foreign policy and environmentalism in the post-World War Two period. It then describes the role of the "degradation narrative" — the belief that population pressures and poverty precipitate environmental degradation, migration, and violent conflict — in the development of the environment and security field.

  • Plight, Plunder, and Political Ecology
    1 Plight, Plunder, and Political Ecology CIVIL STRIFE in the developing world represents perhaps the greatest international security challenge of the early twenty-first century.1 Three-quarters of all wars since 1945 have been within countries rather than between them, and the vast majority of these conflicts have oc­ curred in the world’s poorest nations.2 Wars and other violent conflicts have killed some 40 million people since 1945, and as many people may have died as a result of civil strife since 1980 as were killed in the First World War.3 Although the number of internal wars peaked in the early 1990s and has been declining slowly ever since, they remain a scourge on humanity. Armed conflicts have crippled the prospect for a better life in many developing countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia, by destroying essential infrastructure, deci­ mating social trust, encouraging human and capital flight, exacerbat­ ing food shortages, spreading disease, and diverting precious financial resources toward military spending.4 Compounding matters further, the damaging effects of civil strife rarely remain confined within the afflicted countries. In the past de­ cade alone tens of millions of refugees have spilled across borders, pro­ ducing significant socioeconomic and health problems in neighboring areas. Instability has also rippled outward as a consequence of cross- border incursions by rebel groups, trafficking in arms and persons, dis­ ruptions in trade, and damage done to the reputation of entire regions in the eyes of investors. Globally, war-torn countries have become ha­ vens and recruiting grounds for international terrorist networks, orga­ nized crime, and drug traffickers.5 Indeed, the events of September 11, 2001, illustrate how small the world has become and how vulnerable even superpowers are to rising grievances and instabilities in the de­ veloping world.

This paper explores the idea of replacing international cooperation on greenhouse gas emission control with international cooperation on climate-related technological innovation and diffusion. This idea – recently proposed among others by Barrett (2001) and Benedick (2001) – is based on the insight that incentives to free-ride are much smaller in the case of technological cooperation than in the case of cooperation on emission control. This paper provides a first applied game theory analysis of a technology-based climate protocol by assessing: (i) the self-enforcingness (namely, the absence of incentives to free ride) of the coalition that would form when countries negotiate on climate-related technological cooperation; (ii) the environmental effectiveness of a technology-based climate protocol. The analysis is carried out by using a model in which endogenous and induced technical change are explicitly modelled and in which international technological spillovers are also quantified.

It is therefore important to identify how markets and policy jointly react to expected climate change to protect our societies and well-being. This study addresses this issue by carrying out an integrated analysis of both optimal mitigation and adaptation at the global and regional level. Adaptation responses are disentangled into three different modes: reactive adaptation, proactive (or anticipatory) adaptation, and investments in innovation for adaptation purposes.

  • The Global Climate Regime: Explaining Lagging Reform
    bs_bs_banner 173 The Global Climate Regime: Explaining Lagging Reform Alexander Ovodenko Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, Princeton University Abstract There have been growing calls for reform of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). How have governments met the demand for action on climate change despite the lagging pace of UNFCCC reform? New qualitative data demonstrate that the institutional, sectoral, and technical characteristics of multilateral institutions have guided government choices in managing climate change issues. Institutional resources and sectoral participation in multilateral institutions have enabled governments to handle climate change issues outside the UNFCCC, reducing the need to invest in its reform as demand for action has grown. These specialized institutions are able to mitigate political disputes and facilitate greater efficacy in handling specific issues such as financing and emissions mitigation. They have mandates that overlap with the cross-cutting nature of climate change, requiring no new mandates, which mitigates political disputes in managing specific climate issues. KEY WORDS: climate change, international governance, environment, governance, UNFCCC, regimes, multilateral institutions, climate governance, global governance Introduction In 1992, national governments negotiated the United Nations Framework Con- vention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to meet the growing problem of anthropo- genic climate change. Over time, there have been calls for reform of the UNFCCC to better meet the challenges posed by climate change. Nonetheless, UNFCCC institutions established under the Framework Convention and the Kyoto Protocol remain largely intact, perpetuating perverse incentives and political dynamics that hamper the process. Governments have instituted relatively minor reforms that lagged behind the calls for UNFCCC reform.
