Abstract: Human activities have had an impact on environment since immemorial times but significant effects could be traced since about 500 years. The world is getting rapidly warmer, and there is an overwhelming consensus among the leading climate scientists that this is being caused mainly by carbon dioxide and other 'greenhouse gases' emitted by human activities. the responsibility of various countries vis-à-vis environment pollution is not equal. At the same time, neither the resources and scientific capabilities of various countries which can be used for the control of pollution are not equal. The need for international cooperation and coordination is self-evident because less developed countries cannot by themselves find solutions to environment pollution and at the same time they cannot be condemned to underdevelopment.
