In contemporary society, pollution exposes critical challenges all over the world which impact on health, environment and climate. While some people think that this issue is local, I firmly believe that this issue can be tackled internationally due to trans-boundary issues as well as technology and financial constraints.
One of the predominant reasons why this problem is not enough to be tackled locally is air and water pollution which can be transmitted from one country to another. This is due to the forest fires, burning trees and marine eco systems which can be polluted to another country. As a result, that kind of problem can be solved by all countries as this cannot be mitigated by only one country. For example, in Thailand, air pollution in Chiang Mai happens every year because of burning trees in the border city of Myanmar which leads to air pollution in Thailand. By global agreement, with the assistance of international environmental organizations, countries have to collaborate to resolve this issue.
Another main reason is sharing technology, resources and knowledge. Developing nations cannot solve this problem because of a lack of technology such as using renewable energy, green house technology, and solar energy to reduce air pollution. Moreover, developing countries Myanmar and Laos do not have sufficient amounts of finance to solve this problem. In addition, developed countries can help teach how to use and produce recycled materials as well as provide training. For instance, developed countries such as Japan and the US can provide technology, training and budget which is operated by international organizations.
In conclusion, while local efforts are still necessary, pollution is a global issue that demands international solutions. Working together across borders, nations can achieve more effective, fair, and lasting results in protecting the planet by sharing technology, resources and knowledge as well as transboundary issues.
