Abstract
International organizations are critical for global environmental policymaking as catalytic agents of desirable change, and in the case of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) as the coordinative mechanism as well. Only in the face of severe degradation or impending catastrophies has the world community responded to challenges. However, for the policy to be effective, the necessary financial support needs to be generated, assured, and vastly increased; and the locus of policy making shifted to a main organ of the United Nations—conceivably as an Environmental Council, supplanting the Trusteeship Council and being co-equal in status with the Economic and Social Council, with the UNEP as its coordinative arm.
