Abstract

It is worth noting that the countries of the world, whether developed or developing, play a role in harming the natural environment, whether in terms of their exploitation of economic activities or others, which leads to pollution, and these same countries are addressing the protection of the natural environment on the planet for the common benefit and its continuity for future generations and the achievement of sustainable development . However, the frantic race between countries, especially the major industrial ones, in the field of technology, manufacturing and foreign trade negatively affected the natural environment and led to an increase in pollution, which requires taking some measures to protect the environment and its natural resources from penetration or pollution as follows:

Activating the role of civil society within countries, as well as non-governmental organizations at the international level, and their participation with governments to protect the environment from pollution.
Take executive measures, whether preventive or curative, to achieve sustainable development for all.
Achieving a balance between economic benefit from the natural resources of the environment and protection from penetration and pollution. Encouraging the use of clean technology when dealing with natural resources, whether in the field of manufacturing or various transportation to protect the environment.
