State and Business Partnership as an Adaptation Instrument of Mechanical Engineering and Power Engineering Sector towards Global Climate Changes

The following article looks how the climate changes influence on dangerous industries. Global warming provokes natural disasters - hurricanes, tsunami, earthquakes – that have negative influence on ultra dangerous industries. In the article particularly there is an example of Japanese “Fokusima – 1” atomic power plant accident which was caused by the earthquake and tsunami. In economics theory there are two points how to reduce ecological risks. The first one is based on state restrictive measures – financial instruments. The second point is based on business adaptation branches of economy, in particular, mechanical engineering to constantly changing climate conditions of management. The article suggests economical strategy which combining resources of state, business, scientific institutes and non-profit organizations to reduce the risk of technogeneous disasters.
