(National Aviation University, 2021) Basova, Kateryna Andriivna; Басова, Катерина Андріївна
In today’s world, when the number of dangers for humanity is growing, and the question of their unresolvedness arises more and more, it is advisable to consider the concepts of global challenges, problems, threats and risks and their relationship, to better understand the nature of each. At this stage, humanity is faced with a number of issues that need to be addressed immediately and that arose in the last century. Global problems - (from the Latin. Globus (terrae) - the globe) - a set of vital, affecting humanity as a whole, and unsolvable within individual states and even geographical regions, problems. Global problems came to the fore in the twentieth century as a result of a significant increase in population and a sharp intensification of the production process in industrial society [3]. Global issues include: preventing thermonuclear warfare; reduction of rapid population growth («population explosion» in developing countries); prevention of catastrophic pollution of the environment, especially the atmosphere and the oceans; ensuring further economic development with the necessary natural resources, especially non-renewable ones; bridging the gap in living standards between developed and developing countries; elimination of hunger, poverty and illiteracy, etc.
