For modern man, nature is opposed to man-made human activity. In the early stages of the formation of social relations, nature and man existed as two inseparable things. Further human activity: the development of new territories, industrial and technical progress separate a person from the environment to the extent that a person manages to adapt it to himself with the help of improvised means. One of the most important directions of environmental protection activity is the preservation of the atmosphere, a productive and lively world. The countries of the East Asian region, such as China, Japan and South Korea, also make a significant contribution to the development of international environmental diplomacy. Each of these countries has its own approach to environmental diplomacy. In Russia, the state of environmental protection can be attributed to rather acute strategic problems for the life support of the population.
