Description

Long-term environmental governance (EG) is crucial for addressing global environmental challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource depletion. This chapter explores the principles, challenges, and emerging trends in EG, emphasizing the necessity of sustainability-focused policies that transcend short-term interests. It discusses key governance frameworks, including the Paris Agreement and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), highlighting their successes and limitations. The study underscores the role of corporate responsibility, technological innovations, and collaborative governance in promoting sustainable environmental management. It also identifies political, economic, and global disparities as significant barriers to effective governance. This chapter concludes with policy recommendations advocating adaptive governance structures, enhanced international cooperation, and localized sustainability initiatives. By integrating scientific advancements, stakeholder engagement, and long-term policy planning, EG can ensure a balanced approach to development and ecological preservation, securing a sustainable future for coming generations. 2026 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
