There are several international environmental agreements to protect and preserve the environment. Most notably, the 1972 Stockholm Declaration on the Human Environment, the 1987 Montreal Protocol banning the use of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), the 1997 Kyoto Protocol seeking to reduce greenhouse emissions and combat climate change, and its successor, the Paris Agreement. The existential threat posed by climate change has become more salient signifying the need for international cooperation in environmental protection and regulation. However, a lack of sufficient international enforcement has questioned the efficacy of these agreements. The UN global assessment on the environmental rule of law in 2019 found despite a substantial increase in the amount of environmental protection agencies and laws, widespread failure to adequately enforce regulations has impeded the international effort to combat numerous environmental threats. International environmental agreements, like the Paris Agreement, are often voluntary in nature and thus the UN does not have the authority to compel individual signatories to follow the provisions of such agreements. Governments of individual states who signed on to the Paris Agreement may be reluctant to vigorously enforce its provisions knowing that there is no guarantee that all signatories will do the same. On top of this uncertainty, the cost of implementing rigorous environmental standards may be untenable to governments where noncompliance could save them substantial costs. #parisagreement https://lnkd.in/eZBHYUSE
