In the article 'The Double Edge of Globalization', Chanda (2007) explains the harmful effects and benefits that globalisation has directly and indirectly brought. The effects are severe but countries are unwilling to responsibly tackle the challenges threatening our environment.
Chanda presents globalisation as merely a channel hastening global warming and encouraging high intake of goods. Expanding international trade increases deforestation and pollution, which contribute to climate and environmental changes. Global warming, as a result, will cause potentially serious social and economic problems.
The awareness of natural disasters and suffering has increased with technology such as the internet providing the information. Nations who have not taken action ought to see how their actions affect other nations and not neglect the consequences of global warming. Chanda also points out that if governments are willing to collaborate, environmental degradation can be reduced.
