This panel will explore the connection between environmental governance and global power dynamics, focusing on how politics, economics, and society influence environmental policies worldwide. Environmental issues like climate change, pollution, and resource depletion affect all nations, but the power of countries and organizations plays a key role in shaping how these problems are addressed.
The discussion will cover how unequal power impacts global environmental decisions, especially looking at the influence of large corporations, rich countries, and geopolitical conflicts. It will also examine the effectiveness of international environmental organizations, the balance between national sovereignty and global cooperation, and the struggles faced by developing countries in global environmental talks.
By analyzing these power struggles, the panel will help us understand how corporate interests, global inequalities, and activist movements affect environmental decision-making. This session aims to offer new insights on how to create fair and effective policies for tackling environmental challenges around the world.
