Because climate change threatens human welfare across the globe, in both near and distant future, we need a philosophical concept of well-being that reflects such a large scope. This article discusses which concept of well-being that yields moral obligations across generations most efficiently. The concept of well-being argued for will also have something specific to say about methods used in climate economy and the concept of sustainable development.

Environmental protection constitutes arguably the most important field in international law, where common cause requires adjustment of the international cooperation paradigm based upon the sovereign equality of states. Corrective measures and differentiation of treatment are required, as substantial inequalities between states would otherwise hinder effective cooperation. But any provisions aimed at reintroducing equilibrium between parties to a Convention need to be very carefully drafted, so that environmental protection provisions are not overshadowed by political claims. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the normative ground for international cooperation in climate protection, risks breaking that balance, with the disproportionate economic claims of developing countries putting common environmental goals in peril

Over the last 20 years, more and more reliable data concerning global climate change, mainly climate warming, have become available in the literature. Change such as this has also been documented in the Gulf of Gdansk. Climate change has an influence on aquatic ecosystems and especially their biocoenoses, and plankton is one of its most sensitive ecological fractions. Positive and negative statistical correlation in the exclusive relationship between the quantity of plankton groups and water temperature has been observed. When time was applied as a factor, only the annual increments of the blue-green algae correlation were statistically significant, and the regression equation calculated in this paper was applied to predict a rise in the population number of this algae in response to increasing temperature. It was not possible to perform this calculation with the other plankton components.

The author intends to focus on the individuals’ choices with the aim of establishing those micro-level factors which significantly increase the likelihood of financial support for climate change mitigation in the case of Romania. The analysis builds on the databases of the 2008 and 2009 Special Euro barometers on Europeans’ attitudes towards climate change. The dependent variable is the willingness to pay for climate friendly energy (i.e. for energy produced from sources which generate less greenhouse emissions), used firstly in the form of a binary variable (yes vs. no) and subsequently in such a way as to indicate the degree of financial support (if yes, how much respondents are willing to pay). Results suggest that in both 2008 and 2009, appreciatively one third of the Romanian respondents declared willingness to pay for climate friendly energy which is significantly below the European average. Moreover, Romania provides one of the highest percentages of indecisive respondents. Statistical models underscore the fact that in-principle willingness to pay is determined by climate-change attitudes, education and age, while income plays only a marginal role. On the other hand, the proclivity to invest higher amounts of money in clean energy is dramatically dependent on the respondents’ income and illustrates the relevance of the economic model in explaining the willingness to pay.

This paper focuses on the study of the nature, causes and consequences of global instability in an economic and ecological context. It is analyzed some of risk management mechanisms to improve and prevent the destabilizing of economic systems through the analysis of past crises and some global challenges. Considerable attention is paid to finding directions of national economy development in conditions of economic fluctuations and climate changes. It is analyzed energy and agricultural sectors of the national economy in terms of economic and environmental instability. It is proposed perspective directions of national economic policy towards the growth of ecological and economic security.

Climate change is a serious threat to sustainable development (SD). A Decomposition Analysis (DA) of the data on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in the European Union (EU) in 2008 – 2014 was carried out using the Log-Mean Divisia Index Method (LMDI). To detect the factors behind de/coupling of GHG emissions from Gross Value Added (GVA) in the EU-28, changes of GHG emissions were divided into three effects. The negative intensity effect showed the highest absolute magnitude in the overall period 2008 – 2014 and the two partial periods 2008 – 2011 and 2011 – 2014. The composition effect also helped reduce GHG emissions, but to a lesser extent. The scale effect boosted increases of GHG emissions except for two years, 2009 and 2012, which was related to the effects of the economic crisis. Transportation and storage along with the Agriculture, forestry and fishing activities should be addressed more significantly in relation to GHG emissions.

The article deals with the development of possible mechanism for international conflict of climate change solving. Thus author proposes the creation of international tax agency that would measure the production of all natural resources, which are responsible for the CO2 emissions. Also all firms who are buying these resources must be taxed and revenues must be distributed taking the emissions per head into account.

The paper is devoted to the development of possible ways of national economy development in the conditions of climate change. It is analyzed domestic industry security and revealed sectors which are most vulnerable and climate change dependent. Considerable attention is paid to finding ways to secure the development of the national economy against negative climate change consequences. It is argued the necessity of strategic development of energy, agricultural and recreational sectors of national economy in climate change conditions. Climate change may bring both positive and negative consequences. The negative aspects may include the emergence of new uncontrolled diseases, water scarcity, desertification, etc. At the same time the restructuring of the national economy can bring a positive economic result in certain industries even in climatic change conditions. The paper proposes adaptive mechanisms to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in order to ensure ecological and economic security.
