In addition it needs a further globalization of global environmental politics: Global environmental problems for example loss of biodiversity cannot only be regulated by markets – there must be a democratic [[World Environment Organization]] for supervising these markets from the point of “ecosystem interests” as well. Besides this such an organization should realize not monetary actions, concentrate scientific information, coordinate as a holding organization the activities of all the other global environmental programmes and be as a legal entity a serious counterbalance to the Bretton-Woods-Organizations. Global environmental problems for example the loss of biodiversity need global political solutions (Held et. al., 2008, p. 9) – for this a further political globalization is needed. | In addition it needs a further globalization of global environmental politics: Global environmental problems for example loss of biodiversity cannot only be regulated by markets – there must be a democratic [[World Environment Organization]] for supervising these markets from the point of “ecosystem interests” as well.

The essay focuses on the international, political, economical dimension. However in medium terms a further political globalization doesn’t mean a loss of the importance of the nation-state and never of the civil society: International agreements must be translated into praxis by nations itself and in a democratic international system heading states are need to lead international environmental politics as a trailblazer. The civil society will keep or even gain importance: Living in a world-risk-society facing global environmental risks means for every single person and the society as a whole to have a responsibility by themselfs. Organizations, companies and institutions can create a positiv setting, but in the end it is the civil-society and every single person that has to act. | The essay focuses on the international, political, economical dimension.

Organizations, companies and institutions can create a positiv setting, but in the end it is the civil-society and every single person that has to act. And it is not hard to act for everybody in everyday life: More concrete a few examples: | ||
*Become aware of it and in talks with family and friends make (more) sensitive for the problematic; | |||
*Change a few buying and eating habitats: buying regional (-> less transportation -> less CO2) and biological food (-> less impact of nutrient to the habitat & -> less monoculture), eat less meat; | |||
*Change the engine-provider to green energy (-> no CO2, no mining); | |||
*Use different search engines in the internet (-> green energy); | |||
*Compensate your flights (-> less CO2); | |||
*Become active in civil-society in singing petitions and demonstrations | |||
*or even commit yourself to an NGO… | |||
