Environmental policies impact international relations by shaping cooperation, conflict, and negotiations among nations. Countries face challenges like climate change, resource scarcity, and pollution, prompting them to collaborate on sustainable policies and agreements, such as the Paris Agreement. Strong environmental regulations can enhance a nation’s soft power, allowing it to lead global efforts toward sustainability and influence international standards. Conversely, discrepancies in environmental policies can lead to tensions, trade disputes, and differences in priorities among nations, highlighting the need for cooperative frameworks in addressing global environmental challenges.
