Corporations and the Exploitation of Inadequate Environmental Regulations
Michelle Stepanek
My ISU topic is Corporations and the Exploitation of Inadequate Environmental Regulations. I chose this topic because I am passionate and concerned about the effects of climate change on our future. The economy and environment are very closely intertwined in many complex ways. Often corporations set up their facilities in countries with little to no environmental protection in order to reduce production costs. These countries are often developing nations who limit these regulations in order to gain a competitive edge. My ISU explores the effects of these issues and possible solutions, such as multilateral agreements and stabilizing economies.
