Description

This casebook explores the dynamics of the international environmental lawmaking process and the increasingly important role of transnational citizens, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), scientists, and business. It addresses the relation of scientific understanding to the legal response and the relation of the problem to the global economy. It also discusses the use of soft law, framework agreements, binding obligations, the precautionary principle, and the polluter pays principle. It effectively describes the role of technology transfer and multilateral and bilateral financial mechanisms.
