Factors of Ecological Security

Abstract

Environmental security is essential factor, determining character, of global human security and security of the planet. Environmental security is very complex as a system of relations of numbered objective environmental and subjective social factors, is very hard to define and to realize as an entirety. The reason for this is that environmental security must be realized at the same time on the different places and regarding to various factors which are mutually caused and connected.

Integral security (planetary, global, etc.) means at the same time the preventing and precluding endanger as well as in preventive, as in factual, current meaning. It realizes through mutual relations of security of human society, security of animals, flora, water currents and climate which are exposed to various sources of endanger. The consequences of those endangering emerges as individual, group and general, measured by source, subject, place and duration of endangering factors in relation to factors of security.

Basic problems which have to be solved are: 1) establishing effective preventive measures, disabling the phenomena and development of sources of endangering; 2) repressing the intensity already emerged factors of endangering, by taking the counter measures, 3) social coordination and persistence in strengthening the factors, and 4) valid scientific defining of environmental security - it's factors and relations of those factors with assessing of theirs importance and establishing the priorities.

Fundamental of this problem are two main determinates: first, necessary consumption of products of nature due to existence and development of society and theirs cultures and civilizations, and second, due to interdependence and connection of factors of environmental endangering and longterm of its effects, which requires organized systematic work in the essential spheres of events.

This work has to present the essential factors of endangering and implementation of environmental security, their interdependence and necessary activities, as well as the problems of valid defining of environmental security.
