However, decisions on policies to address key issues such as biodiversity loss, climate change, ozone depletion, hazardous waste transport and numerous other planetary challenges require individual countries to adhere to international norms. What have been the successes and failures in the environmental treaty-making arena? How has the role of civil society and scientific consensus contributed to this maturing process? Why have some treaties been more enforceable than others and which theories of international relations can further inform efforts in this regard? Addressing these questions with renewed emphasis on close case analysis makes this volume a timely and thorough postscript to the Rio-Plus 20 summit's celebrated invocation document, \u003cem\u003eThe Future We Want\u003c\/em\u003e, towards sustainable development. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eEnvironmental Diplomacy: Negotiating More Effective Global Agreements\u003c\/em\u003e provides an accessible narrative on understanding the geopolitics of negotiating international environmental agreements and clear guidance on improving the current system.
