[TMQ. Al-Rum 30: 41]

throughout the history of mankind as it has in the past couple

of decades as a result of the disruption in the environmental

balance resulting from the negative consequences of the

industrial revolution and man’s consumption of natural

resources. The World now fears a devastating deterioration of

the environmental condition. Amongst the most debated

issues in this context is climate change and global warming,

the concern of which is not limited to a single country, but

rather encompasses the whole world since there is no region

or State which is not affected by it. As a result global warming

has received a large amount of international attention. Several

scientific conferences, international summits and forums have

been held in order to debate the causes of the problem, how

it can be solved and the extent of co-operation between the

different countries to counter it. The organizers of these

meetings have sought international agreements, which oblige

the compliance to what is regarded as the solution to the

climate problem, tackling its causes and harmful

consequences in a manner that balances between

safeguarding the standard of living and need for natural

resources on the one hand, and respect for the climate on the

other.
