Abstract 

The environment is the most important factor and driving force of human development. It provides the population of the world with vital resources.

Human impact on nature degrades land, air and water resources. The world's growing population has an increasing impact on land and natural resources. In many cases, clean water is a rarity, forests are disappearing, and biodiversity is under threat.

Understanding that the countries of the world will not be able to protect themselves from adverse environmental changes with their own resources has an impact on geopolitics and global governance.

At the modern stage, the pollution of the environment with the wastes of human activities (chemical and radiation) is particularly noteworthy on the entire planetary situation. First of all, it has a noticeable effect on the health of the population, especially in large cities, and it catastrophically reduces the places that are desirable for living and recreation. Ecologically favorable areas of the earth acquire a special value and become an important resource for the countries that possess them.

The above-mentioned problem concerns many countries, the atmosphere of the earth, the world ocean, outer space and the population of the earth, it cannot be solved by the forces of any one country. It is necessary to have an agreed economic policy and joint efforts aimed at protecting the environment, exchanging knowledge and technology, helping backward countries, and more.

In world practice, environmental technology development is stimulated in various ways. In particular, it is nature-saving production, rules, norms, legislative acts, establishment of subsidies for pollution reduction, stimulation by taxation, etc.

The European Union is considered one of the world leaders in cooperation in the field of nature protection. Its ecological system is completely connected with the system of environmental protection measures. Environmental protection is one of the priority directions of EC activity.

Georgia, like the modern world as a whole, faced a lot of environmental problems and challenges in the background of development and technological progress. In the last decade, climate change and air pollution have significantly changed the ecological environment in which we live.

According to the Green Economy Initiative of the United Nations Environmental Protection Program, the green economy is a model of economic development that reduces environmental risks and economic problems, aims at sustainable development and reduction of negative environmental impact. Almost all countries are involved in this process, including Georgia.

The problem that has been on the world agenda in recent years - the microbiological pollution of the environment - the appearance of the coronavirus has put the world in front of a new global challenge.

In the fight against the invisible enemy, those countries have achieved success where emphasis was placed on science, along with other measures.

We believe that environmental protection should become one of the main priorities of the economic development of any country, the first task of the state. It should start with raising the technical-technological level of the economy, which is connected with a great public effort. We think that along with this, it is equally important to raise people's awareness and consciousness.
