ES1102 Summary of “The Double Edge of Globalization” (Draft 1)


Globalization has been denounced as a cause of climate change and deforestation by developing the international trade worldwide, as many multinational companies establish their manufactories in countries where has poor or lack of environmental policies, and lead to adversely impact on the global environment. Globalization has caused large scale of reduction in forestland worldwide due to the increased logging and most of the governance has declined to implement appropriate solution. Some pollution caused by globalization not only affected the original country, but can also spread to the other parts of the world.

However, globalization helps to connect the world together and the sharing of ideas and information around the world become instantaneous, which helps to raise public awareness  in the global environmental issues, such as the global warming. Although there are some improvements in the global environmental conservation recently, the reluctance and incapability of some states has resulted in the inefficiency of the United Nations. Therefore, the collaboration of political powers plays an important role in reducing the global environmental deterioration.
