The debate about international regulation of the environmental issues is gaining significance especially with its increasing encroachment on dominant interests. In the biodiversity politics, the primary concerns are the intellectual property rights, benefits sharing and the access to resources (Brand & Görg, 2003). The legislation dealing with the access to biodiversity resources should be progressive from the aspect of the weaker actors if they are to regulate access in the interest of all the actors inclusively. This should be based on the concrete implementation of the international and national legal provisions, the building of the institutional and knowledge capacities. In this regard, it could be shown that the conservation of the biodiversity is anchored in these dominant developments.
In both national and international level, the environmental politics are preconditions for the existing economic processes that create institutional frameworks for the appropriation of the contested nature. The regulation of the biodiversity helps people to understand the different actors and their conflicting interest (Clua-Losada, 2017). This is important, especially because many people think that they are not affected by the environmental changes. Further, to effectively accommodate the interest of all the groups in the society, there is the need for the application of useful strategies, power play and coalitions in the management of environmental issues.

Environmental issues are global in the sense that they affect everyone and can only be addressed through global cooperation. Environmental degradation can lead to tension between different social groups. On this basis, the regulation of environmental issues must be done with consideration to the social diversity and the state cannot be the neutral actor (Brand & Görg, 2003). It can only provide a platform where social power relations interplay as different groups seek to generalize their interests. Given that environmental issues affect everyone and that those issues have the close link with the global economy, it is important for people to acquire knowledge on these issues for them to contribute to the discussion actively.
