INTERNATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLIMATE POLLUTION (A COMPARATIVE STUDY)

Abstract

The various countries of the world have paid great attention to the environment because of the climate change that has become a major concern. They have worked together to reduce the thermal emissions that change the climate, which requires an international will to address these climate variations and their impacts. In the area of protection of the environment from pollution, States have not only the responsibility to protect the environment but also the need for punitive controls and international legislation in the light of them, which have been one of the problems faced by international law. Most international conventions have therefore been concluded to find a way out of this ambiguity, which has been the concept of international liability for pollution.

The primacy of States and the world as a whole is, therefore, an important and essential pillar of the legal system that can be adopted at the international and domestic levels.Thus, the State causing environmental damage to another State bears the responsibility for repairing and compensating that damage as an unlawful act.
