Experience of developed countries in environmental safety policy

Abstract

The article considers the problems of anthropogenic impact on the noosphere and the resulting need for forming global and national environmental safety systems. It is emphasized that today environmental safety is an integral attribute of modern states’ development calling for a radical change in their civilizational imperatives and values, their environmental vision and understanding that it is the rational use, preservation, restoration and augmentation of natural capital that can form a safe environment for human health and life, a possibility of generation replacement, and the very existence of mankind. A comparative study is being conducted on the role of modern states and public authorities in the system of safeguarding against the consequences of environmental and natural-technological threats, and elaboration of effective mechanisms to implement state environmental safety policies. Taking the USA, France, Great Britain, Germany and other countries as an example, the main current approaches to the formation and implementation of state environmental policy are determined.
