Abstract

In February 2024, international news channels announced that global temperature rises for the past year had passed 1.5 degrees Celsius, which should have been avoided. This particular development indicates the earth's enormous challenges in terms of sustainable development. For the first time in history, humans are on the verge of irreparably damaging the planet they live on. The world took note of the environmental challenge more than half a century ago and has engaged in multilateral environmental agreements. The United Nations has taken a lead in this regard. This chapter highlights the progress in tackling environmental issues, with particular attention paid to UN agencies.
