Environmental Pollution and the Intense Consumption of Natural Resources - Possible Causes of International Conflicts

Abstract

The article explores the relationship between environmental pollution, the rampant consumption of natural resources, and their influence as possible causes of international conflicts. Humanity faces increasing challenges due to environmental degradation, which transcends borders and affects nations differently. The text discusses how environmental impacts, often caused by developed countries, can be used as a justification for interventions in resource-rich regions like the Amazon. It also warns of the potential for conflicts intensified by water crises and air pollution. The article calls for urgent international cooperation to mitigate these threats and prevent environmental and nuclear catastrophes.
