This sounds like "give up your brains and your rights, I have a better plan for you". "I know better how you unknowingly hate your neighbor." Because they say so, they define themselves as an authority, and note that they did not define the environment as an authority but as a pretext for authority of a cult seeking to violate separation of powers and legal jurisprudence.
The environment is not the interest, people's and nations' jurisdictions are what transcend the environment since nature is naturaly hostile and savage but observable and controlabe by us. Doctors and environmentalists are supposed to fix a material problem, not a jurisdictional one. In fact, environmentalists should be worried about protecting man from nature than protecting nature from man. That is their job. Protecting man from man is not their job.
If there was any international cooperation that could transcend national interest, it is the one against terrorism, or, rather, against violent terrorist cult nations or international groups that seek to protect nature from man instead of man from nature or man from evil people and evil cults.
