Abstract

The article explores the evolution and transformation of the concept of «climate policy» in the perspective of modern social and humanitarian discourse. The description of the main prognostic projections and scenarios of the future world order is carried out in the context of global climate changes and large-scale natural disasters of the New Climate Era – numerous natural and man-made disasters, increased areas unsuitable for life as a result of the growth of environmental refugees and climate migrants, mass protests, food shortages and lack of drinking water, epidemics. The necessity of strengthening collective responsibility and the need for recoding existing «green programs» in accordance with the format of the New Global Climate-Ecological Doctrine, based on the value-normative imperative of global environmental awareness, ecological culture and environmental education, was emphasized. Attention is focused on the need for not only the declarative integration of the modern Ukrainian state into the world club of Green Policy and Low-carbon Economy, but also the search for and effective implementation of the latest procedures for the protection and preservation of the environment. In the category of «global challenges of the twenty-first century» – terrorism, war, poverty, unemployment, migrants, etc. – climate change and natural disasters will be the vanguard of world order transformations. The chronological contours of the «New Climatic Era» – as «blurred, uncertain, ghostly», and therefore, it's time to reject politico-ideological, financial-economic, socio-cultural, philosophical and religious differences, get rid of the «pseudo-optimistic view» on the climate and environmental future and synchronize the work of politicians, scientists, activists on the design and implementation of the global New Climate and Environmental Doctrine. Іt should be emphasized that the delay and inaction of politicians in solving climate and environmental problems leads to radicalization of ecological movements, eco activists increase pressure and demands in proportion to the deterioration of the situation with the environment, the rhetoric of peaceful demonstrations and environmental actions is changing to partisan environmental wars, in particular, the organization Deep Ecological Resistance (Deep Green Resistance).
