Question
The most serious challenge before the states is pursuing economic development without causing further damage to the global environment. How could we achieve this? Explain with a few examples.
Solution
The economic development can be achieved even without damaging global environment by following practices:
- In June 1992, Earth Summit provided some conservative measures for sustainable growth without damaging environment anymore.
- The Antarctic Treaty of 1959 covered Global Commons for mutual economic development.
- Kyoto protocol cut greenhouse emissions from industrialised countries to protect environment and to develop industries also.
- Resource Geopolitics allocates and ‘ distribute natural resources amongthe nation states of global arena for sustainable development of nations.
