Minister of Environment Norway, Siri Bjerke, Nairobi 9. In public international law there is in general lack of effective enforcement regimes . The world is facing increasing internationalisation .
International agreements are important in a world that constantly is becoming more globalised.
Solving the most challenging issues in the world today requires international co-operation and multilateral agreements. This applies in particular to environmental problems. Combating climate change and loss of biodiversity, for instance, cannot be accomplished without effective global action. A number of international agreements addressing environmental issues have been adopted the last decades. Now we must strengthen procedures and institutional mechanisms for the compliance with these agreements.
