Environmental problems and Initiatives  

It is widely accepted that rising pollution is delivering damaging impacted on the climate. The global community seems to be seriously concerned about this matter; and is making full-blooded efforts to eradicate this issue – that threatens very existence of life on planet. Nevertheless, although some important resolutions have been adopted to counter this growing malady, most of the steps have proven to be ineffective.

The primary reasons underlying the failure of the measures being adopted include lack of coordination between different countries of the world. It has been observed that the world today stands divided into several groups – developed and developing; and rich and poor, etc. All these groups are fighting tooth and nail to protect their rights and impress upon their view points on other groups. This has resulted in mudslinging and blame game which is ultimately taking a toll on the environment; and any resolutions being adopted, however effective they may seem, end up in doldrums.

On top of that, governments of most of the countries – rich and poor alike – are facing a strange dilemma; as to whether to abide by the global obligations of bringing in changes in the current set-up – of industrial and agricultural, which in many countries is quite primitive by current standards; and transforming this would prove to be quite expensive for economies – and face wrath of local inhabitants, as well as the local populace, or address local aspirations.

The issues – existing and emerging – can be, however, addressed amicably by developing sensitivity towards each other and setting goals, by appreciating the criticality of the current situation,that are not too high and need gradual implementation of decisions.

In the nutshell, I personally believe that no goals, especially concerning environment and pollution, are unachievable provided we approach them with determination.
