National and Planetary Interests in Preserving Balance between Nature and Economic Growth

Abstract

The subjects of the research are international agreements on the environment protection and the national ecological policy. The importance of the research lies in the ongoing discussion about the role of developing countries in reducing unfavorable climate changes. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate that nowadays we need not only joint efforts of different groups of countries to restore the equilibrium in the “nature — society” system, but also a new economic growth policy philosophy. The article shortly analyses the history of the international cooperation development in the attempts to solve ecological problems within the framework of UN initiatives, and considers the stages of the cooperation and the role of Kyoto Protocol. The author examines the discussions about Paris Agreement, analyses its impact on the development of international and national efforts to achieve ecological climate aims, demonstrates the role of the positions and disagreements in G20 countries, as well as the role, goals and policy of decarbonization in modern economy.
