Description

Despite the rapid proliferation of international environmental treaties over the last 50 years, the level of implementation at domestic, regional, and international levels varies significantly. The effectiveness of environmental law continues to face a wide range of practical challenges worldwide, especially in developing countries, ranging from an inadequate capacity for implementation to a lack of essential risk mitigation tools needed to integrate environmental standards across business and procurement value chains. A wide gap remains in terms of global aspirations for green growth and the practical realities. Without addressing current gaps in the effective implementation of environmental law, global efforts to mitigate and build resilience to environmental risks may continue to face challenges. As global awareness increases about the urgency of climate change, the need for low-carbon transactions, green growth, disaster risk reduction, and resilience planning in response to pandemics and risks has become a key priority. The various global aspects of environmental law are planned and published in this book.
