Abstract

At least since the Earth Summit in Rio, global environmental problems are on the international policy agenda. The main problems which obviously require international policy coordination are the risks of global warming, the loss of biological diversity and the destruction of the ozone shelter. Although all these problems call for different actions to cope with, they are closely interconnected. For example, the burning or clearing of tropical forests does not only add to greenhouse gas accumulation which is responsible for the risks of global warming. Additionally, tropical forests host an unknown reserve of genetic codes the size of which is assumed to depend on the diversity of species.
