Abstract
In the 1900s, environmental degradation and resource exploitation were some of the biggest environmental concerns. The more recent years have seen the trend towards sustainable development has grown on a national, regional and global scale. Governments are contributing to this by creating policies and laws that protect and govern the environment. Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) are some of the most vulnerable countries to the consequences of the anthropogenic activities that results in global warming and climate change. Additionally, their geographical location results in a tendency towards using natural resources sustain the economy as trade is usually limited. This paper makes a comparison of between the environmental policies of the Kyrgyz Republic and Zambia using the What’s the Problem Represented to be? (WPR) approach as a basis for identifying the similarities and differences of the same. Additionally, the paper examines how the countries respond to their commitments of the 2015 Paris Agreement by reviewing their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).È consentito all'utente scaricare e condividere i documenti disponibili a testo pieno in UNITESI UNIPV nel rispetto della licenza Creative Commons del tipo CC BY NC ND.
