 The International Dimension of the EnvironmentHans Wiesmeth
Chapter Chapter 3 in Environmental Economics, 2022, pp 37-57 from Springer Abstract: Abstract Transnational environmental problems such as acid rain, ozone depletion, global warming or overfishing have gained increasing importance in recent decades, and will continue to influence, even dominate, international negotiations on political, economic and ecological issues. This chapter outlines the international environmental negotiations on these transboundary environmental issues, including the environmental pressures associated with globalization. Thereafter, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in 1992 with the Rio Declaration and the Agenda 21 is taken as a starting point for international environmental concerns, in particular with regard to climate change, which dominates the public debate. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has resulted in the Kyoto Protocol and many other Conferences of the Parties (COP) with the aim of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. The focus in this chapter is on a first analysis of relevant issues, which will be reconsidered in later chapters.
