Glaciers started melting. Tsunamis began attacking .Earthquakes became more frequent. Global warming is staring in our face. Earth’s temperature began rising up. El Nino became a regular phenomenon. All these portents rang alarm bells for mankind to take notice that Nature cannot be a mute spectator when it is carelessly and very casually degraded. In the last half century, which marked man’s giant strides in industrial and technological advancements, man’s disregard for nature was conspicuous by its brazenness. Environment, which has now become the buzzword everywhere was almost am unknown word, a decade back. Man was forced to realize that, however technologically advanced he may be, he has to live in sync with nature and nature cannot be taken for granted. Environment not only needs to be protected, but also is to be improved. It is this realization that makes Environmental protection a very important concept now-a-days. It is surely going to remain so forever in near future.
Environment is a Global concept .To be effective and result-oriented coordinated efforts by an international organization with proven abilities and participation by all countries are highly desirable .It is in this background, the role of United Nations in Environment protection becomes crucial in spreading the message for Environmental protection throughout the globe.
