Participation and Politics in Environmental Governance

A hundred made of many ones is better than one made of a single hundred, by all means, for a car to move, everything that it is made up of should harmoniously work with each of its part of the same goal. And that only leads to the idea of cooperation and collaboration of each and every participating environmental actor to be united and work for the achievement of success upon environmental awareness and address through governance. Through the continuous evolution of the organic system of governance, the threat humans dread for years of suffering due to environmental conflicts, is not impossible to be resolved as per our own's volition of progress. Nothing is truly impossible through one and more's faith and action, as the realization and willingness drive human's resolution. 

The form of government of a particular state tells a lot about how it mandates and manages its self-identity and establishes its sense of statehood. Thus it says much how it promulgates its own rules and regulations to facilitate systematic governance, apprehending the goals and objectives of their state. In inclusion to this is how the government responds to the concerns of its people, specifically to their needs and the environmental ruling of their covered territory. The role of the government is to maintain the orderliness of the area covered by its sovereignty while considering the benefits it may incur to the state. But without the intended support from the people, the adherence to the decision-making and execution of the policies could possibly fall into vain. Therefore, how the interaction and process of resolution between the government and its people must be complementing and supply the needs and demands of each sector. 

In an environmental setting, multiple situations in different aspects could be encountered, especially the variation in opinions and differences in views and perspectives in terms of environmental use and allocation of natural resources. The actions of humans toward the development and progress are unfortunately affecting nature but through the same unity, it is not impossible to work toward the preservation and nurture of the environment.
