Today, one of the global problems is climate change due to increasing industrial pollution (excessive concentration of environmentally hazardous industries, outdated and inefficient environmental equipment, unreliable technical systems and lack of qualified personnel in enterprises with high environmental risk), a significant number of vehicles, that do not meet environmental standards, and other factors that pollute the environment.

All of these are significant threats to the global economy and international security due to increased direct and indirect risks related to energy security, food and drinking water supply, stable ecosystems, and risks to human health and life.
