question 18 (1 point)
what were some of the first global commons covered by an international
environmental regime?

a) stratospheric ozone layer

b) deep ocean environments

c) fisheries

d) antarctica

Explanation:

The Antarctic Treaty System (1959) was one of the first international environmental regimes. It governs the region of Antarctica, setting it aside for peaceful purposes, scientific research, and protection from resource exploitation. The stratospheric ozone layer was addressed later (e.g., Montreal Protocol in 1987), deep - ocean environments have had more recent and less comprehensive regimes compared to the early Antarctic one, and fisheries management also developed over time with more fragmented and later - emerging international agreements compared to the Antarctic Treaty.

Answer:

d) Antarctica
