FUTURE DESIGNS for GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT: WHAT HAS BEEN DONE? WHAT CAN BE DONE?

Abstract

In this study, the need for a new institutional organization, using historical and descriptive research methods is evaluated and the pursuits towards global environmental organization are set forth. Evaluation is based on configuration and policies of other international formations taking an efficient role in UNEP, GEF and global environmental management. The aim of this study is to find answers to the following two questions and open a discussion: 1 What is the level of success of existing global environmental management in the solution of environmental problems? 2 Is it possible to establish a Global Environmental Organization GEO that can produce environmental policies integrating and coordinating specialized units carrying out responsibilities related with the environment under the framework of United Nations and to apply international sustainability policy?
