Globalization and International Environmental Policies

Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectedness of countries through trade, communication, and cultural exchange. This interconnectedness has significant environmental impacts, as activities in one part of the world can affect ecosystems elsewhere. In response, international environmental policies have emerged to address global environmental challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss. These policies are agreements among nations aimed at cooperation for sustainable development and conservation. Over time, significant moments in environmental policy history, such as the Earth Summit and the Paris Agreement, have highlighted the need for countries to work together to protect the planet for current and future generations.
