International Environmental Treaties - CSV
International environmental treaties are legal frameworks established to address global environmental issues. Covering diverse fields such as climate change, biodiversity, marine pollution, ozone layer protection, and hazardous waste, countries cooperate under the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to conserve the environment. Many treaties were adopted following the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, and new treaties continue to be developed to address emerging environmental challenges.
