Global practices of public administration in protecting public interests in the environmental sector

Abstract

The article presents the unification of global public administration practices regarding the protection of public interests in the environmental sector, with the aim of humanizing the further development of environmental legislation on a global scale. It is shown that access to environmental information varies in different developed countries. Non-governmental organizations and researchers, who are not affiliated with government bodies, are also part of the system. They consider themselves defenders of public interests and act as independent observers in contrast to both government officials (who may advocate certain political interests) and the parties whose interests are directly affected. In this regard, the Human Development Index in countries around the world has been analyzed. It is noted that contemporary environmental problems were essentially caused by the fourth technological paradigm, where the diverse use of hydrocarbon resources led to global warming, atmospheric pollution, and a decrease in oil, gas, and coal reserves. Throughout the era of the fifth paradigm, the environmental situation has only worsened. However, relying on the achievements of nanophysics, nanochemistry, and biology, new approaches to addressing global warming have been developed. Yet, solving one problem often gives rise to new, equally complex challenges. Along with the development of nanotechnology, the impact of nanoparticles on the Earth's biosphere is also being studied. Accordingly, the global percentage distribution of products made using nanotechnology has been analyzed.
