MODERN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND THEIR SOLUTIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

It can be said that the rapid development of science and technology has turned the 21st century into an era of environmental issues. Today, humans are increasingly exploiting natural resources to enhance their economic power and improve their quality of life. This is undoubtedly an integral part of civilization's progress. However, to manage this process correctly, humans must deeply understand and adhere to ecological principles. Otherwise, ecological balance may be disrupted, leading to severe environmental crises for humanity.
