Environmental Law and Sustainability: a Berkshire Essential

Description

Environmental Law and Sustainability, a Berkshire Essential, introduces
environmental regulations and agreements from around the world, with a focus
on those with the most potential for international impact. This concise handbook,
designed for use in classrooms at the high school and college level, compares
legal systems between nations such as the United States and Canada; Australia
and New Zealand; and India, Pakistan, and China, allowing readers to see how
environmental laws are enacted – and enforced – differently around the globe.
Other topics include biotechnology and nanotechnology legislation, and the
“polluter pays” principle, a key aspect of international environmental policy.
