Ekološka kriza i hrvatska odgovornost

Sažetak: Sociološkim osvrtom ekološku krizu promatramo kao fenomen začet u industrijskom dobu, dok filozofskim osvrtom uvodimo čitatelja u početke filozofske ekološke misli, tzv. dubinsku ekologiju. Obrađuje se pojam bioetike čija načela su sadržana u svakom obliku održivog razvoja. Ekonomski osvrt prikazuje kako je nastao sustav novih vrijednosti poslovanja, etos, i kako ekonomski padovi uzrokuju ne samo ekološku krizu, već i mnogo pogubnije oblike kriza. Bavljenjem posljedicama ekonomskog rasta i pratećih pojava ekološke krize zanemario se cjelokupan pogled u društveno uređenje budućnosti. Održivi razvoj uzima u obzir vremenski odmak i razmatra kako današnje odluke i kreacije utječu na budućnost, okoliš, socijalno-ekonomske i ekološke promjene. U radu se objašnjava politika održivog razvoja Europske unije te odgovornost Republika Hrvatska u kontekstu ekološke krize. Kao primjer praktične provedbe ekoloških akcija navodi se Fond za zaštitu okoliša i energetsku učinkovitost. Abstract: With a sociological review, we view the ecological crisis as a phenomenon conceived in the industrial age, while with a philosophical review I introduce the reader to the beginnings of philosophical ecological thought, the so-called deep ecology. The notion of bioethics is discussed, the principles of which are contained in every form of sustainable development. The economic review shows how the system of new business values, ethos, emerged, and how economic downturns cause not only an ecological crisis, but also much more devastating forms of crisis. Dealing with the consequences of economic growth and the accompanying phenomena of the ecological crisis, the entire view of the social order of the future has been neglected. Sustainable development takes into account the passage of time and considers how today's decisions and creations affect the future, the environment, socio-economic and environmental changes. The paper explains the policy of sustainable development of the European Union and the responsibility of the Republic of Croatia in the context of the ecological crisis. The Fund for Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency is cited as an example of the practical implementation of environmental actions.
