Abstract

Environmental politics stands at the intersection of ecology, economics, and governance, shaping policies and actions that determine the fate of our planet. This review delves into the multifaceted landscape of environmental politics, exploring its evolution, key stakeholders, challenges, and promising avenues for progress. From international agreements to grassroots movements, the dynamics of environmental politics are analyzed, highlighting both achievements and obstacles in the quest for sustainable development and environmental stewardship. Drawing from historical context and contemporary debates, this review underscores the urgency of addressing pressing ecological crises while navigating the complex interplay of interests and values inherent in environmental decision-making. As humanity stands at a pivotal moment in history, understanding the intricacies of environmental politics is essential for charting a course towards a more resilient and equitable future for all life on Earth.
