Environmental Crisis in European Union and Its Political Significance

Virtually everyone recognizes the existence of an environmental crisis in the world today, but there are some uncertainties concerning the precise nature of this crisis and its internal and international implications. It is all clear that the world's population is continuing to grow at an alarming pace, finite resources are being utilized at exponential rates, and technological advances are contributing to negative ecological outcomes. These trends have been documented extensively. Their political significance, however, has received little attention if only because the visibility of the problem is such a recent phenomenon.

The construction and operation of large-scale infrastructure, training staff creates the possibility of new jobs, and engage people in the training system. Broad prospects open programs related to transportation and energy, fuel systems. Their implementation is developing very successfully. In these directions significant investments are made.

Solving problems concerning environment provides human resources to develop and operate in conditions that stimulate their production activity. Although sometimes logically justified
