I believe they don’t need to have a common goal overall because each country has different environmental issues that need different solutions and measures. However working with other countries to help the over health of the planet should be essential.

I would say yes they do need to be unified especially in issues like climate change and large global issues. If only some counties participate in environmental protection then it wont be effective.

Although individual countries can make huge impacts somewhat increase their own quality of living, although the most permanent and safest impact will only result if many countries unify to accomplish the goal

The climate crisis is a group project. Everyone must pull their weight and can not do less than what is expected of each country. Individual countries can do more than other countries but there needs to be a standard for everyone.

I believe climate action is an “all in” effort. Since every country lives on Earth every country needs to put into effort. Some countries need to pull more weight than others because they have the ability. There needs to be a universal understanding of climate change first because it will make more people care!

It isn’t necessarily for all the countries to get involved as long a lot are trying, if we want it to get completely better then it would have to be everyone involved. Everyone involved is better because that means people can’t take the easy way out which is what people would want to do if it wasn’t required but change can still happen with big groups working at it

I think it is an all deal, because if one country isn't helping than other countries might not want to help as much. I think all countries should be helping as much as they can.

I think that for efficiency it would be best for all countries to put in effort to help the environment. If there are some countries not enacting environmental protection laws, it could effect all the other countries that are.

It really depends on the situation. For example, if a country doesn't do anything for environmental protection, then it should unite with other countries so that they can either get the resources to do it or find better ways to do it. On the other hand, if a country does do environmental protection, then it should be able to continue to do it their way because it could be the best solution for their people.
