why geopolitical divergences on environmental topics are more visible after the Kyoto Protocol, which foresees a series of objective measures which aim at diminishing the dome effect producing gases; the disadvantaged ones in this case are exactly the developed states, which as we mentioned before, have the greatest degree of pollution and which would suffer most economi- cally from the diminishment of polluting gases. This fact can be seen in the difference between developed and developing countries regarding the meas- ures imposed at Kyoto. Initially there was a group of states which disagreed with the conditions of the protocol- of which the US is no longer a member- and another group of states which accepted the conditions form the very be- ginning. Thus, the keyword in this case is also geopolitics, often making us observe how international actors- regarding the environment in this particular case- act according to their own interest (usually of economic nature) Conclusions. In order for the global society to reach an environment


agreement, one that is unanimously accepted (both theoretically, as well as practically) one must act from the base to top, using the principle: man is the one who causes environment problems, thus, it is him that needs to revise the ecologist attitude in order to be able to diminish the negative effects. As a matter of fact, starting from individual ethics and morals, and going on to- wards the group (society) ones, one may create an administrative economic, political and international (geopolitical) relations system, which would deal with respecting, signing and ratification of international agreements, in order to create an equitable future society.
