Powerless strategy

The goal of this investigation is to show the inefficiency of the present-day strategy of passive confrontation with a threatening geo-ecological tendency, and to attract attention to creation and application of active defense technologies for dangerous environmental processes running out of control. The increase in quantity and scale of destroying geophysical events on the Earth relates to the problem of population and economic safety that require common coordination of protective efforts by different states. The objective of appropriate confrontation generates a need of many countries' participation, integration of their intellectual asset and material resources, and serves as a new factor of globalization. In this context, one should take into consideration a long-term global company - the UN International Strategy of Disasters Risk Reduction - and also convoca- tion of regular world forums in its course. Their resolutions and activities of executive structures established create a base for managing risks at the global level, assigned to provide development stable to disasters and temperature changes by joint achievements of the UN projects triad: Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, Agenda XXI and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. But, according to the actual overall result after 15 years of the Strategy's realization without authorized institutes and legal obligatory decisions, it has not given a meaningful effect. The analysis of its main documents and pos- sibilities of typical present-day warning and reaction means demonstrates that both the existing institutional framework of cooperation in the emergency sphere and the resistance potential used nowadays cannot stop a dynamic increase in human victims and economic damage caused by nature. For efficient protection from natural disasters and consequences of neglected modifications of geophysical processes carried out by some countries, it is necessary to have not a recommendable, but an obligatory system of its regulation. A political plan of developing a new area of international cooperation and creating ways of its normative and institutional base construction for the future national interests is needed. Consideration of this problem aspect, which has not been researched enough, should promote objective evaluation of the critical situation in the fight against the consistently increasing threat which has global and inevitable character. At the same time, amid both geodynamics and social necessity, it is essential to accelerate creation of institutional and legislative regulations, to enhance global natural disaster risk management.
