Industrialization, urbanization and rapidly increasing population is posing a burden on the earth’s resources while simultaneously causing climate change around the globe. Various local, national and international conflicts arise with the exploitation of the natural resources of the earth and their injudicious uses. Unwise discharging of the waste in the transboundary zones brings such conflicts in two or more parties. Some countries began imposing limits on themselves in order to conserve the environment and alleviate the effects of anthropogenic climate change. This proved to be a futile attempt, and it reinforced the view that achieving the goals on one's own is impossible. Thereby, the idea of environmental cooperation surfaced, with the goal of halting the ongoing environmental degradation. This collaboration brought together a number of industrialized and less developed countries in an attempt to regularize and make declarations on biodiversity preservation and environmental protection. |
