In my opinion, both unfavorable processes, ie the global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer in the atmosphere will increase in the future.
However, there is still some time to implement the necessary pro-ecological reforms to slow down these processes. It is estimated that there has been a decade of time to carry out the necessary pro-ecological investments, thanks to which it would be possible to implement sustainable pro-ecological development in the global economy.
Hedgehogs do not take these actions in the next decade, then these unfavorable climate processes will accelerate in the future and become permanently irreversible. Then, at the end of the twenty-first century, there will be a global climate cataclysm that will threaten the life of all humanity and a large part of other life forms that inhabit the planet Earth.
The problem is therefore serious and underestimated by politicians, entrepreneurs, industrialists and many other social groups. The problem of global warming and decreasing ozone layer in the atmosphere is too little publicized and the educated society is not educated enough.
In view of the above, the current question is: Are the biggest global problems of the future underestimated and ignored?
Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.
Dear Dr. Dariusz Prokopowicz
The people you are referring here are not environmentalists (politicians, entrepreneurs, industrialists)
Some of them might be more curious towards the search of water and habitable atmosphere on Mars, and might be gathering all the wealth to buy a piece of land there,
but they seems least interested towards sustaining their own Planet.
Scientifically speaking, there are observed evidences that life on this earth is heading for an ecological disaster due to the current trends of using fossil fuels in various sectors (especially in the means of transportation).
Those who reap huge benefits from this status quo have directed their political surrogates or servants to do nothing in order to rectify. The needed political decision, in this direction, is not forthcoming. Add to it, those academics who defend the existing wrong policies are working as servants of influential persons. One of the "silly" jokes is that there is a conspiracy by the Europeans who call for repairs to the environment before the situation deteriorates to the point of irreversible damage. A "non-scientific" approach is to blame nature instead of aiming fingers at the real "human" perpetrators.
Science & technology are mature enough to correct things now in a cost-effective way but they need budgets and here comes the negative "silent" stand of politicians in some influential countries.
No change man makes will be irreversible. Man might not survive, and it might take thousands of years to recover. However life will continue even if we launch all the nukes today. There are organisms in the deep sea floor, and organisms in deep caves.
Global warming: Yes. 100% man induced, probably not. Can something meaningful be done? Maybe, but the longer we wait to try the more expensive it will be to make a meaningful change.
Maybe try filling in the boxes:
| We do nothing | We manage global warming

In terms of economic impact, trying to moderate global warming and associated climate change does nothing more than change who gets rich. Maybe the oil, coal, and gas industries slowly die and solar, wind, hydroelectric, and renewable resource industries take their place. Thousands of jobs are lost in one sector and thousands added in another sector.
Another thought, Maybe drop the global warming issue and change for other reasons: cleaner air to breath.

The above discussion inspired me to the following considerations:
How can you speed up the processes of changing the classic economy in green economy?
How can you speed up the processes of changing the classical economy in green economy shaped according to the principles of sustainable pro-ecological economic development?
From time to time, conferences and climates summit are held in various countries around the world. In principle, everyone agrees on the importance of implementing the necessary pro-ecological reforms in economic processes. In addition to representatives of mining companies of energy resources for the traditional energy of burning mineral and traditional power plants, everyone agrees that in order to slow down the global warming processes that are unfavorable for the natural environment, it is necessary to implement pro-ecological reforms as soon as possible. above all, to develop renewable energy sources on a larger scale. In addition, pro-ecological innovations on an industrial scale should be implemented as soon as possible.
Recently, this type of climatic summit took place in Katowice in Poland. It was the UN climate summit, the so-called COP (Conference of the Parties) on climate policy on Earth. UN climate summits, i.e. COP (Conference of the Parties) are global conferences during which climate policy is negotiated. Poland twice hosted them - in 2008 in Poznań and in 2013 in Warsaw. In December 2018, the climate summit is held for the first time now in Katowice in Poland. During this summit, conferences were held, discussions on the need to develop a sustainable development policy and the need for ecological development, renewable energy sources to generate a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the future, and ultimately to limit the average annual temperature on the Earth's surface.
From the discussions it follows that it is necessary to develop ecological innovations, new pro-ecological energy sources, and to develop the electromobility of transport means. It is necessary to develop and implement on a large scale renewable energy sources. In addition, it is important to increase the scale of afforestation, as forests and the flora contained in them absorb a large proportion of greenhouse gas emissions.
As part of the UN climate summit of December 2018, the following were held: the 24th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP24), 14th Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP 14) and the Conference of the Paris Agreement signatories (CMA 1). About 20,000 people from 190 countries took part in the event, including politicians, representatives of non-governmental organizations, and scientific and business spheres.
The lecture delivered during the climatic summit shows that in recent years the warming of the Earth's climate has accelerated significantly and therefore, in the black scenario of future climate changes, the temperature on the Earth's surface can rise by 4 ° C to the end of the 21st century. If this happened, then the scale of climate-related cataclysms that are dangerous to human beings will increase many times, including droughts, floods, fires and weather anomalies in many places around the world. The problem is very serious globally and therefore a lot depends on whether international cooperation will develop in order to limit these problems and their negative effects.
In view of the above, it is necessary to change the development strategy based on intensifying the exploitation of the Earth's resources on the sustainable development strategy. It is necessary to develop new energy technologies based on renewable energy sources to slow down the progressing greenhouse effect of the Earth in order to reduce the risk of dramatic natural cataclysms. It is necessary to develop ecological innovations, while it may not be too late. It is necessary to save the Earth from destruction for future generations.
The 21st century is the last moment to introduce global sustainable development based on the development of renewable energy and ecological innovations. Sustainable development should be analyzed and measured in correlation with the analysis of economic growth and the share of individual sectors in the country's economic development, including the transformation of traditional energy sources into renewable energy, environmental reclamation and recovery of recyclable materials, and ecological innovations.
Unfortunately, perhaps the only major positive effect of these conferences and climate summits is the promotion of the need to apply these pro-ecological reforms in the media. However, the scale of real actions in this direction, the scale of expenditure growth supported by subsidies from state budgets for the development of energy based on renewable energy sources, the development of electromobility, improvement of sorting and recycling processes is still small in relation to the needs.
Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?
In view of the above, I am asking you the following question:
How can you speed up the processes of changing the classical economy in green economy shaped according to the principles of sustainable pro-ecological economic development?

I invite you to the discussion
Thank you very much for your response and participation in the discussion
Best wishes
In addition, I note the interesting discussion inspired me to the following considerations:
To what extent does the development of eco-innovation and renewable energy improve the protection of the environment, natural biological ecosystems and biodiversity?
In my opinion, the development of innovative ecological technologies and eco-innovations as well as renewable energy sources and their implementation into economic processes is a growing important factor of sustainable green economic development based on the green economy concept.
In a situation where pro-ecological innovations are developed, including energy-related innovations, including new technologies of renewable energy sources, then pro-development anti-crisis, Keynesian socio-economic policy obtains additional attributes of modernity taking into account the protection of natural resources of the environment, protection of natural biological ecosystems and biodiversity.
In this situation, the classic pro-development anti-crisis, Keynesian social and economic policy is transformed into an ecological socio-economic policy implemented into the economy as part of the promotion of sustainable proecological socio-economic development taking into account the new green economy principles, including care for the protection of natural environmental resources, protection natural biological ecosystems and biodiversity.

Humanity is facing major global challenges that are transnational in nature and transnational in nature and trans institutional in solution.
This essay confronts fifteen of the biggest issues, including how to achieve sustainable development, guarantee access to clean drinking water, foster ethical market economies and fight new as well as re-emerging diseases.
While the panorama may appear pessimistic, humanity is winning more than losing – even if where we are losing is very serious. But these challenges cannot be addressed by any single government or institution acting alone. They require collaborative actions among governments, international organizations, universities, NGOs and creative individual.
We need a serious focus on green growth, falling water tables, rising food/water/energy prices, population growth, resource depletion, climate change, terrorism, and changing disease patterns, otherwise the results may well be catastrophic.
