By knowing that the massive industrialization has been producing serious environmental issues, what we can wonder now is if the market can regulate environmental issues?
We will at first see that the development of the market permitted the creation of several institutions and treaties aiming to regulate the negative effects of the industrialization. But then, we will deeply consider these institutions and see if their work is really reliable and efficient.

The first thing to say is that the industrialization has caused many negative effects on the environment.
The main issue of this industrial development is global warming, which is defined as the increase of the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans.
According to scientists, this increase is due to the greenhouse gas emissions, mainly coming from human activities.
Facing this global warming issue, the
