Palgrave Studies in Sustainable Futures

Brears, Robert C.; Lindley, Jade

The Palgrave Handbook of Environmental Policy and Law provides readers with information on developments in the two fields of environmental policy and environmental law in both developed and developing countries. In particular, the Handbook analyses policies and statutes used at the local, regional, national, and international level in locations of differing climates, governance, and levels of development that aim to protect the environment and ensure ecologically sustainable development. Furthermore, the Handbook not only examines the substance of these policies and laws, but also enforcement challenges, alternative legal mechanisms for advancing environmental policies, the role of market-based instruments in addressing environmental problems, and constitutional restrictions on environmental regulation.
