Environmental problems such as pollution and climate change affect all the people in the world. Although global decisions are made to reduce these problems, the solutions are not effective. Why are the solutions ineffective? How can these problems be solved?
.
Why global decision made to alleviate environmental problems have failed to deliver
Rapidly rising population is offsetting any gains made by implementing such remedies; governments ae also forced to put all plans on th back-burner
Lack of enlightenment(awareness- jaankari) Ignorance among major part of populace about the relevance of environment due to laxity on the part of the governments
Absence of expertise and resources with most under-developed countries
There is a mistrust among rich and poor nations: the latter believe that the elite lobby is using such norms as a pretext to halt(stop) their development
The democratically elected regimes of various parts of the world are reluctant to implement these norms completely since they fear that this might earn them the wrath (suffer a backlash) of their constituents: some norms may mean penalizing local industry
Most governments are unwilling, by virtue of fear that this might slow down economy: the industry will have to operate in environment restrictions( straitjacket), which will mean (entail) adoption of expensive modern standards,
What can be done to surmount this challenge
Developing technology that can help offset the impact of rising population
Transfer of technology and resources to poor countries to speed up implementation
Strategies have to built to detach population growth from environment exploitation
Large scale campaign among people to ensure that awareness about environment and need to protect reaches every remote corner of society
Penalize the serial offenders be it the industry or the nation by imposing sanctions
Industry must be involved in this process and should be offered additional benefits for playing their part
Even though the global community is quite committed to alleviating challenges facing the planet, and has taken several steps to see this through, most of the initiatives have remained unproductive. This can be attributed to a myriad of causes, making it imperative to discover suitable remedies.
To commence with, the most prominent factor that influences this phenomenon is the rapidly growing population across the world, which is forcing Governments/policy makers/ regimes to put all the plans to protect nature on the back seat since they need to go an extra mile to arrange an afford basic and advanced amenities to additions made to the populace. Consequently, exploitation of resources takes precedence over conservation. The situation is more desperate in poor nations that face a dearth of money to arrange facilities for their citizens.
To add to woes, impoverished regions also suffer from paucity/ scarcity of technology and expertise to implement the solutions for ensuring revitalization of the ecology. To corroborate, several Asian and African countries are still using the primitive technologies in farming and industries since they do not have access to greener methods.
As far as resolving this imbroglio concern, the way forward hinges on global cooperation. Undeniably, a majority of societies lack monetary resources, equipment, technical acumen, and so on to combat environmental threats, and thus, the elite parts of the world must step forward and lay all possible materials and assistance at the disposal of the destitute societies. This could go a long way in making the earth a better place to live.
In hindsight, the rising populace and absence of money along with requisite methods in the poor regions are impeding the progress of environmental reforms. Therefore, it is necessary to engender greater global cooperation to guarantee the success of steps taken to protect the earth.
