Abstract

A distinctive feature of the industrial development in the 21st century is globalization of the world economy. Power ful international intermediaries in this process are the United Nations (UN), the World Trade Organization (WTO), the European Union (EU), the World and European Banks (WB and EB). One of structural subdivisions of this interaction is development of the international environmental management qualified to solve environmental problems: pollution of all items of natural environment (atmosphere, water sources, soil, etc.) exceeding the carrying capacity of natural ecosystem; depletion of nonrenewable natural resources (coal, oil, etc.) and some renewable natural resources (fresh water, woods, etc.); reduction and loss of biodiversity. The top-priority dangerous manifestations of environmental problems are regional production-induced desertification, soil degradation, depletion and contamination of water sources, air pollution, reduction of woods area, accumulation of hazardous and toxic wastes. Ecological problems have already crossed state borders of separate countries, and depletion and contamination of ecological systems of some countries significantly impact environmental state of the world, affecting health and wellbeing of people in different countries. In this situation failure to take timely decisions can lead to significant economic losses, irreversible damage to the habitation environment of millions of people, freezing of the economic growth of some regions and whole countries. For solution of environmental problems development of international environmental policy and reliable organizational and legal measure for environmental protection on both international and national levels are required. In accordance with the UN expert judgement the most environmentally degraded towns of the world are metallurgical centers of the CIS. Such situation forces the governments of the CIS countries to enforce more and more environmental legislations, which are binding to implement new and modernize existing companies with implementation of clean technologies. Given article observes the issues of community and nature interaction regulation by Kazakhstan Republic environmental legislation. The analysis had been performed based on ArcelorMittal Temirtau JSC Environmental policy where as actual results have been achieved and observed. In the article ArcelorMittal Temirtau JSC investment projects were reviewed which had been implemented based on principle of reasonable balance as for economic, environmental and social interests of the company. Regional AII (atmosphere impurity index) is given.
