Tragedy of commons takes place when individuals work as per their self interests and collective spoil the resources. In the same way, global environmental issues have developed when nations make policies that are conflicting and popular ( among people) in nature. It brings damage to the environmental conservation, pollution, loss of forest areas and it led the development of global environmental problems. So, there is a big relevance and similarity between the tragedy of commons and global environmental issues, as it has at least one common fact that is self interest. It makes tragedy of common as the micro form of global environmental issue. It makes tragedy of common to be relevant to the global environmental issue.
Countries take policy initiatives
that work in a similar way to solve global issues, are also used to
solve the problem of the tragedy of commons. For example, one
global issue is rising pollution level and increase in temperature
of earth. This problem shows a guideline to resolve the
problem of the tragedy of commons. To solve the rising pollution
level at domestic level, government issues directives to
control the use of specific type of fuels, vehicles, and other
factories that release harmful gasses and increase the pollution
level. At international level to resolve the problem, the ban on
CFC (Chloro Flouro Carbon) is also on the same basis
that created a hole in the Ozone layer. So, government at domestic
level takes a clue from the initiatives takes to resolve the global
issues.
