"Many environmental problems transcend national boundaries, and the activities of one country can have direct impact on multiple countries. Mitigation of, and responses to, climate change and other such global environmental challenges involve and require international political cooperation and action. The use of natural resources in the face of growing populations and increasingly resource-heavy lifestyles across the globe raises many political issues—and is increasingly a source of political tensions. The compatibility of economic growth and sustainable development is debated at all levels of politics." (Global Politics Guide, 41)
