Globalization of the Environmental Issues: Response of the Arab Region
Abstract
Environment is now considered the “common heritage of mankind,” and addressing global environmental problems are increasingly topping the international development policy agenda because of their cross-border effects. Since the Rio Conference in 1992, the world has witnessed a proliferation of multilateral environmental agreements, which aim to protect the global environment. This has put extra burdens on the institutional setup in the Arab countries, which already suffers from weak capacity, lack of resources, and power struggle in the national policy arena. This chapter portrays the evolution of the global environmental governance system and the development of a parallel legislative and institutional framework in the Arab region to respond to global environmental problems. Challenges faced by Arab countries while meeting its obligation in the MEAs include inadequate financing; low public awareness; limited negotiation capacity; and marginal involvement of civil society and the private sector. The effects of these barriers on the level of implementation by the Arab countries of different MEAs are reviewed.
