Abstract
Global Environmental Politics is about the politics of the environment on a global scale. Global environmental politics, can be interpreted as the politics which are practiced in different places, to protect the environment. Environmental problems are global beause the responsible activity, the impacts of that activity, or the concern about the solutions of those impacts do not all exist within one country’s borders. Shared resources, like shared rivers and lakes, will become international issues relatively rapidly if the victims of those activities find domestic routes. Activities within a country’s borders that have impacts on a global commons will become international. Ozone depletion and Climate change are caused primarily by activities occurring within countries borders whose impacts affect the global atmospheric commons. and concern grew in various countries. The environment in global environmental politics is about the human dimensions of the natural environment. The human causes of environmental change, pollution and resources use, and the human approaches to solving or trying to solve or preventing environmental problems and resource scarcities. The politics in global environmental politics is about international cooperation related to the environment. This might include addressing transboundary, regional and global problems through international conferences of diplomats, negotiating environmental accord or treaties. Global environmental politics is about how government policies contribute to environmental problems and about environmental policies, regulations and their environmental effects. Nation States cannot solve their environmental problems through unilateral action and domestic policy alone. There are four major issues of global environmental politics. First, Ecological consequences of the global political economy on issues ranging from global trade and finance to environmental injustice. Second, The implications for global environmental governance of the thickening layers of government policies, treaties, and international organizations. Third, there has been an analysis of the importance of corporate, nongovernmental, and market-based governance for environmental management. Fourth, there has been a growing focus on the problem of climate change. This paper traces the history and emergence of global environmental cooperation. We examine the actors, institutions, debates, historic moments, and cross-cutting issues that shape global environmental politics. This Paper analyses, why these problems emerge on the global agenda, why states do or do not address them, what affects the responses states adopt to each, and a variety of other crucial questions. This paper is intended to focuse basic understanding of environmental changes and the underlying politics that shape and to provide readers with a foundation of knowledge that can help them to promote new, more environmentally sustainable relationships between humankind and the natural world.
