Absolutely. This could be fixed with the teachings from the 'Prisoners dilemma'.
I am starting to think that there are big decisions, that have a worldwide impact, that cannot be left just to the local government of turn.
Take for example Bolsonaro's approach to the Amazon. Those are decisions that impact the whole world, possibly for generations to come. We cannot allow a local government to do what they want just because they happen to have this piece of land in their own country. We need a global system to enforce measures to protect the planet.

If this doesn't work, maybe the carrot is better than the stick. I know this case is a little unique because the Brazillian government appears to be acting against the will of its people with regards to conserving the rainforest. 0 - https://www.reuters.com/article/us-brazil-politics/as-eu-threatens-trade-retaliation-brazil-sends-army-to-fight-amazon-fires-idUSKCN1VD19T https://www.reuters.com/article/us-brazil-politics/as-eu-thr...
