Eastern European Greens Call For New Legislation To Prevent Man-Made Disasters
Industry-induced man-made disasters have increased in frequency and consequence over the last 30 years and are now comparable to natural disasters, according to a new study by the Eastern European Association of the Greens (EEAG).
Although human economic activity has always been associated with risk, the damage caused by man-made disasters has increased by almost three fold with considerable cost in human life, long term environmental damage, and a financial cost estimated at a staggering $200 billion per year globally.

Analytical study: Technogenic risks in operation and construction of industrial facilities in Europe.
Economic development has always been associated with the risk generated not only by dangerous natural phenomena and processes, but also by human economic activity. At the same time, the consequences of the so-called “man-made disasters” were limited to the economic systems of individual regions (areas) of a particular country, and in exceptional and exceedingly rare cases – to the national economy.
Аналитическое исследование: Техногенные риски при эксплуатации и строительстве промышленных объектов в Европе.
Экономическое развитие всегда было связано с риском, порожденным не только опасными природными явлениями и процессами, но и хозяйственной деятельностью человека. В то же время, последствия так называемых “рукотворных бедствий” (man-made disasters) ограничивались хозяйственными системами отдельных регионов (районов) той или иной страны, а в исключительных и крайне редких случаях – национальной экономикой.
