Abstract
In the 21st century, environmental problems have become a common phenomenon across the globe. It has become very difficult to overlook environmental issues. These problems cross boundaries of nation states to include issues like overuse of resources, ozone depletion, climate change, destruction of endangered species and overfishing in global waters. Problems like climate change and ozone layer depletion not only affect the lives and health of people, but touch every nation and community. Environment problem in one area can have impact over other parts of the world too since these problems are highly complex and interconnected, for example – air pollution in one region of Europe can be caused by activities in another area. Due to the heavy destruction inflicted on the environment through the human activities, an urgent need is felt to save and conserve it. This is the reason why environment is no longer viewe d as a minor matter. Until unless effective steps are taken, environmental problems will have long term effects on people and will end up destroying the future of Earth. Global efforts are required to solve various environmental problems.
