Abstract
This research explores legal frameworks for protecting the environment, emphasizing climate change and pollution control as a point of departure. With the constant degradation of the environment at all levels of the globe, the urgency of the presence of solid legal tools to be implemented can be appreciated. Although there are international and national laws that are taking steps to grapple with these problems, widespread impunity continues. The paper introduces the idea of a Global Environmental Constitution (GEC), which may become a universally recognised, above-board legal structure for the protection of the environment. By examining existing law, treaties, and analogous experience, this study seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of how a GEC might face mounting environmental disasters, including climate change, pollution, and resource exhaustion, and bring about sustainability and international harmony.
