This article analyzes the achievements of contemporary German ecophilosophy, in which the need to fundamentally reconsider humanity's relationship to nature in the context of the global ecological crisis led to the formation of the field of ecophilosophy as an independent and significant direction. Especially since the second half of the 20th century, environmental problems arising as a result of the impact of human activity on nature have led to the unification of philosophical thinking around the category of ecological responsibility. The concept of ecological responsibility has become a concept of not only theoretical, but also practical and praxeological importance. In this regard, German ecophilosophy occupies a special place, since in it ecological responsibility is deeply studied not only from a theoretical and axiological, but also from a praxeological aspect.

This article is devoted to the study of methods, possibilities and practical significance of modeling the distribution of air pollution using geographic information systems (GIS). The article describes methods for analyzing the spatial and temporal distribution of air pollution based on data from ground monitoring stations, transport and industrial zones, and remote sensing technologies. It is also shown that the models developed using GIS are of practical importance in the application of environmental monitoring, urban planning and sustainable development strategies.
