International Environmental Agreements

International Environmental Agreements (IEAs) are treaties or accords between countries aimed at addressing environmental issues that cross national borders, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. These agreements establish common goals, set rules for cooperation, and provide frameworks for countries to reduce their environmental impacts. By working together, nations can share resources, technology, and best practices to protect the planet. Examples include the Paris Agreement on climate change and the Convention on Biological Diversity. Effective IEAs help ensure collective action for a healthier environment, benefiting not only participating countries but also the global community.
