Environmental Politics

Environmental Politics refers to the field of study and practice that examines the relationships between political processes, environmental issues, and policies. It encompasses the debates, actions, and power dynamics that influence how societies manage natural resources, respond to environmental challenges, and shape ecological policies. This discipline is concerned with the role of government, non-governmental organizations, social movements, and international bodies in addressing environmental concerns such as climate change, pollution, conservation, and sustainable development. Environmental politics also involves analyzing the political ideologies and interests that shape public perceptions and policy responses to environmental issues, as well as the impact of these interactions on social justice and equity. Ultimately, it seeks to understand how political decision-making affects the environment and how environmental issues can influence political outcomes.
