In many countries, various shifts have taken place between private and public funding regarding environmental damage compensation. This book theoretically examines these shifts and offers many supporting practical examples. Coverage also examines shifts in private and public compensation mechanisms and describes shifts in some national legal systems towards greater government involvement as well as within specific private legal systems.
