You know what we need? An international environmental court

The first role of the new body would be to enforce international agreements on cutting greenhouse gas emissions set to be agreed next year.

But the court would also fine countries or companies that fail to protect endangered species or degrade the natural environment and enforce the “right to a healthy environment”…

As well as providing resolution between states, the court will also be useful for multinational businesses in ensuring environmental laws are kept to in every country.
