International Environmental Governance

International Environmental Governance refers to the systems, rules, and organizations that coordinate countries' efforts to protect the environment globally. It involves agreements, policies, and institutions—like the United Nations Environment Programme—that promote sustainable practices, address issues such as climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. Its goal is to ensure that countries work together effectively to manage shared environmental challenges, balancing economic development with the health of ecosystems worldwide. By fostering cooperation, it helps create a unified approach to safeguarding the planet for current and future generations.
