FOUNDATIONS OF "GREEN THEORY" AND APPROACHES TO IT IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

Abstract

Environmental problems caused by the two world wars and the damage caused to the earth as a result of the rapid development of industrialization are showing their consequences today. After the end of the Cold War, environmental problems became one of the topics that needed to be discussed. However, the issue of taking this issue seriously at the international and political level and taking the necessary measures is still open. Because now it is becoming clear that environmental problems cannot be solved at the local level only on the territory of one country or region. Some of the most industrialized countries are also major contributors to pollution (carbon dioxide and methane) that have a significant impact on climate change and cause global warming. Another effect of this climate change can be seen in higher air temperatures, changes in seasons and land expansion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent it from becoming an irreparable disaster only by approaching environmental issues on a global scale, by conducting scientific research and applying measures within the framework of international cooperation.

In international relations, scientists are developing various approaches to study the political significance of issues related to the field of ecology and problems related to the field, to find solutions to them, and to consolidate them in the "green theory". Considering that it is impossible to solve the issue of ecology from one side, the experts came to the conclusion that it is necessary to look at it from the point of view of economy, energy, industry, education and other fields and conduct scientific research. Based on these, the article examines and scientifically analyzes approaches to "green theory" and their experiences of other countries and international and regional, as well as non-governmental organizations. Due to the fact that the direction of ecology is relatively new in international relations, finding a fair solution to its problems requires the coordination of international relations with other directions.
