Short answer is all the countries of Europe were largely responsible. They all spent 30 years building treaties that pitted the sides against each other, conquering and coveting each others foreign colonies and indulging in arms races. The war was easily predicted by many for up to a decade in advance, but no one probably could have imagined the actual carnage. Germany is largely seen as being responisble for being to over eager to go to war for Austria following the assisination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Serbian nationalists.

How should countries involved in wars be held responsible for such environmental destruction?

People have different opinions about this. Some believe the country with the damage should be responsible, but others believe the countries causing the damage should be responsible. One thing most people agree on is that someone does need to be responsible for repairing environmental damage as much as it can be repaired. How they are held responsible and who is held responsible would vary according to the situation of the war.
