Emerging environmental sciences: Addressing the pressing ecological issues of our time

Abstract

The gist of this article boils down to various problems related to ecology. Special attention is paid to the problem of “garbage”, since it is more or less relevant for all countries. A conceptual model of the interdependence of the state, specialized organizations and the population in solving the “garbage” problem is also proposed. A survey of the population is proposed on what they consider the most serious threat to their country. The authors provided data regarding the share of various areas of activity of enterprises and households in waste generation. Information about the cities considered the cleanest in the world in 2024 is provided.
