Book Description:
|
Because environmental problems do not respect borders, their solutions often require co-operation among states. The contributors to this book examine how international environmental agreements are put into practice. Their main concern is effectiveness - the degree to which such agreements lead to changes in behaviour that help to solve environmental problems. Their focus is on implementation - the process that turns commitments into action, at both domestic and international levels.
