Environmental Policy Effectiveness: A Comparative Study of Global Initiatives

Abstract

The escalating urgency of environmental challenges has spurred numerous global initiatives aimed at tackling issues like climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. However, assessing the effectiveness of these policies remains a complex endeavor. This article presents a comparative analysis of three prominent global environmental initiatives: the Paris Agreement, the Montreal Protocol, and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). By evaluating their goals, implementation mechanisms, and achievements, the study seeks to identify factors contributing to policy effectiveness and highlight areas for improvement.
