Features: Global public goods are often overlooked but crucial aspects of multilateralism. Whether we are discussing biodiversity protection, climate change prevention, control of infectious disease spread, establishment of trade and aviation rules, or setting global human rights standards, no single country can ensure the supply of these goods on its own. Instead, global public goods can only be achieved through the collective efforts of all nations, and globalization has indeed strengthened this fundamental interdependence. This book provides practical recommendations for improving the ways the international community addresses shared weaknesses and seizes common opportunities, highlighting a fundamental truth of our time: global issues require global action.
