International Efforts to Protect the Environment: Africa in Perspective
Abstract
Our Mother Earth is currently facing a lot of environmental concerns. The current environmental challenges represent a considerable measure of danger to the well-being of people and creatures. The environmental problems like global warming, acid rain, air pollution, urban sprawl, waste disposal, ozone layer depletion, water pollution, climate change and many more affect every human, animal, and nation on this planet. Over the last few decades, the exploitation of our planet and the degradation of our environment has gone up at an alarming rate. As our actions have been not in favor of protecting this planet, we have seen natural disasters striking us more often in the form of flash floods, earthquakes, blizzards, tsunamis, and cyclones. Different International and regional environmental groups around the world put in their efforts in finding solutions and educating people as to how their small actions, when combined together, can play a big role in protecting this planet. Granted that there are a whole lot of international conventions, treaties and protocols adopted globally to mitigate the emerging environmental concerns, this study examines the efforts of international and regional multilateral bodies as well as projects targeted at protecting the environment to bring about sustainability.
