Abstract

The last fifty years have seen an environmental crisis caused by absurd political, economic and technological models which slowly bring ruin to society and the environment. The United Nations Organization (UN), as part of its United Nation Development Program (UNDP), fosters global sustainable development, specifically focusing on the need to address climate change. Additionally, international agreements and congresses have been trying to offer compensation alternatives for environmental protection. These efforts, however, have not been effective. Recent generations have caused mayor environmental impact, and we are now left with a huge rupture between governments, businesses and consumers who pass responsibility among each other. The global population generates with everything from everyday habits to complex production processes. Even though some people accept social and environmental responsibilities, this does not lead to any environmental recovery. This paper offers strategies for environmental recovery. Firstly, through strong public policy, secondly through accounting regulation obliging companies to take into account environmental impact and finally through education and the creation of curriculums that will promote more responsibility.
