There have been problems with the environment that have become the central problem of the whole world. These problems can go way back to 3,700 years where many countries or cities started to develop their land so people can settle permanently. Therefore, some of the environmental issues now are air and water pollution, deforestation, overfishing, and soil erosion. There are also nongovernmental organizations which are the National Wildlife Federation and National Audubon Society and these organizations are the older ones. Some other organizations are the Global Climates Coalition and the Alliance for Responsible CFC Policy. Women play a big role in the environmental issue, women are advisers and leader roles in environmental non-governmental organizations. Three arguments about the connection between women and the environment are women are disproportionately disadvantaged by environmental problems, gender bias is an impediment to achieving sustainable development, and women’s participation is vital to efforts to achieve sustainable development. However, the NOGs have strategies to get their objective out to the world and those strategies consist of 5 strategies. Those strategies are getting media coverage and publicity for their issues, share information among groups, lobby government officials and intergovernmental organizations, acquire and manage the property to protect the environment, and finally pressure companies to protect the environment. In conclusion, many environmental issues are listed above and many organizations try to prevent issues.
