UCL Impact of Global Governance Solutions to Environmental Problems Essay

 

2. “Global Governance solutions to environmental problems are likely to fail”. To

what extent do you agree with this statement? You may wish to explore the

following reasons for supporting (or not) this statement: the economic gains (for TNCs

and/or States) of global trade that are damaging the environment; the interests of

dominant States; and the role of epistemic communities and transnational social

movements in finding global solutions to environmental problems. You may give

examples of international agreements on different environmental problems (e.g., the

Montreal Protocol and the Paris Climate Change Deal) or discuss several international

agreements on the same environmental problem (e.g., the Tokyo Protocol and the

Paris Climate Change Agreement).
