Global Environmental Governance: Issues, Actors, and Challenges
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article examines global environmental governance through the concept of global governance. It seeks to argue that, apart from states, non-state actors such as intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations (CSOs), multinational corporations (MNCs), scientists and environmental experts, and individuals also play a vital role and have legitimacy or exercise their authority to manage issues in the global environmental governance. However, challenges faced by the global environmental governance are at least five-fold: the measurement of environmental values, particularly in economic terms; the de-prioritization of environmental problems; the exploitation and misuse of efforts to solve and manage environmental problems; the role of state in maintaining some vital decisions in the global environmental governance; and the limitations of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) as a lynchpin of the global environmental governance.
