The Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and the Environment is the authority responsible for approving and implementing government environmental policies. Its mission is to develop and implement individual plans and programs for the development of the environmental sector and to address specific environmental issues. The department`s environment department, a team of departmental management personnel, is the key unit to which the environment sector has been assigned. The main competences of the environment department are environmental advice, coordination of environmental action plans and monitoring the implementation and implementation of environmental policy and legislation. It also carries out impact assessments based on envisaged environmental protection measures, recommendations on the harmonisation of Cypriot law with European policy and environmental legislation acting as a national authority for a wide range of international agreements, agreements and intergovernmental organisations such as the Securities Deposit Centre (CSD), the Mediterranean Commission for Sustainable Development (MCSD). , the Environmental Priority Programme (SMAP). , the Mediterranean Action Plan (POP), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and environmental awareness. The EU and its member states are individually responsible for ratifying the Paris Agreement. There was a strong preference for the EU and its 28 Member States to simultaneously table their ratification instruments to ensure that neither the EU nor its Member States commit to obligations that belong exclusively to the other[21] and there was concern that there was a disagreement over each Member State`s share of the EU-wide reduction target.

[22] However, on 4 October 2016, the European Parliament approved the ratification of the Paris Agreement[23] and the EU tabled its ratification instruments on 5 October 2016 with several EU Member States. [22] If this agreement falls within the realm of private law, the general principles of the treaty apply and such an agreement can only be considered non-binding if it expressly or in accordance with other general principles of unborn contractual obligations, for example.
