IMPACT OF THE GLOBALIZATION ON THE MACEDONIAN ENVIRONMENT AND SECURITY
/ Biljana Stevanovska
Problems with human security are met with protests against the current globalization. Some sudden accidents are not related to globalization (i.e. plane crash), but many trends are global movement (wars, a surge of unemployment, economic crisis).Consequently the protection of nature comes to globalization by engaging all local, national and intergovernmental institutions. World population is threatened by the continued atmosphere temperature increase, which in many nations is the foundation for a series of disasters such as drought, flood, desert storm, landslides, elevated sea levels, fires and pandemics. Impacts on health from climate change can be direct and indirect, through changes in agriculture, mutations in the food. Any emissions exceeding the threshold put the planet at risk of irreversible melting of a significant layer of ice of Greenland, thereby releasing large amounts of methane into the atmosphere (greenhouse gas). Local projections of climate change indicate that different climatic regions in Macedonia will react differently to a large scale in various aspects of life, especially health, agriculture, or water supply. The main blame for environmental degradation would not be sent to globalizationitself as such, but towards the address of neo-liberalism as a special kind of globalization
