Book Green Globe Yearbook 1997

Download or read book Green Globe Yearbook 1997 written by Helge Ole Bergesen and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Green Globe Yearbook aims to demonstrate to a world-wide readership where the international community stands with regard to solving specific environment and development problems, what the main obstacles are to effective international solutions, and what must be done to overcome them. The Yearbook is composed of two separate parts: evaluation and reference. The reference section contains systematically listed key data concerning the most important international agreements on environment and development, and inter-and non-governmental organizations with activities in this area. Most of them are presented in a two-page spread with illustrations. This section is updated in every volume, on the basis of information from the organizations in question and other sources. A subsection of country pofiles summarizes the performance, main commitments, and objectives in fourteen OECD countries in relation to international co-operation on environment and sustainable development. The evaluation section comprises articles written by leading, independent experts, which give the reader an up-to-date assessment of the realities behind the formal set-up described in the reference section. The authors present an informed evaluation of the results achieved through international collaboration within a particular agreement, organization, or process. It is pointed out not only to what extent the participating states have succeeded in dealing collectively with the problem at hand, but also how to overcome barriers to further progress. The 1997 volume has as its main focus on nature conservation comprising evaluations on: the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Sepecies of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); IUCN - The World Conservation Union; and World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF). In addition it includes evaluations on: the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP); and the Global Envirnment Facility (GEF) with focus on International Waters. The combination of independent, high-quality analysis, and a useful reference section makes this Yearbook an indispensable guide for decision-makers in government, international organizations, NGOs, and industry as well as an essential source book for policy-makers, academic institutions, students, and libraries serving the concerned public. (Adapted from publisher's abstract).

Book International Environmental    soft law

Download or read book International Environmental soft law written by Jürgen Friedrich and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In international negotiations, the question of the design and the legal form of the negotiated instrument is as complex as it is often controversial. Intended as a read for both practitioners and academics, this book provides a comprehensive treatise of the characteristics, the potential and the limits of nonbinding instruments in international environmental law and governance. An extensive overview and typology of nonbinding instruments as well as several case studies from the areas of fisheries (FAO), hazardous substances (UNEP/FAO) and corporate social responsibility (OECD) provide the material for an in-depth analysis of the role of nonbinding instruments on all levels of governance. The book demonstrates the potential but also highlights the limits of nonbinding instruments in the interplay with customary and treaty law (e.g. UNCLOS, WTO) as bases for interinstitutional linkages and as tools to shape the behaviour of states and private actors. Legitimacy challenges arising from this form of exercise of authority are then discussed in the final chapter, alongside with remedies to address possible concerns.
