Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

No; because differences in income and preferences make the ideal standards vary by country. Budgets and regulatory efforts are not unlimited, and the pressing problems and environmental resources that need protection are not the same. Countries will likely have different priorities. If one nation tries to impose its standards on another, this may actually reduce global well-being. If resources and opportunities are different, so are the opportunity costs. One answer doesn't fit all.
