Comparative Environmental Law and Regulation

Agenda 21 initiated the globalization of environmental law and began a continuously growing body of national statutes to aid countries in protecting public health from pollution, governing industrial safety standards, and establishing park and management regimes for wetlands and wildlife habitats. Written by preeminent experts with in-depth knowledge of their jurisdictions, each chapter of Comparative Environmental Law and Regulation analyzes the key environmental laws, regulations, and implementation systems and agencies of 39 countries from around the globe. Each country review covers similar topics concerning the potential impact of environmental laws on business transactions and a business's decision to enter the marketplace, and also offers advice on dealing with regulatory and enforcement authorities. Updated approximately one time per year.
