Download or read book Green Leviathan written by Inger Weibust and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US, Switzerland and Canada are wealthy democracies that should be conducive to effective decentralized or cooperative environmental policy-making. However, a closer examination of their environmental policy over many decades finds no evidence that these approaches have worked. So does it matter which level of government makes policy? Can cooperation between sub-national governments protect the environment? Building on comparative case studies on air and water pollution and making use of extensive historical material, Inger Weibust questions how governance structure affects environmental policy performance in the US, Switzerland, Canada and the European Union. The research breaks new ground by studying formal and informal environmental cooperation. It analyzes whether federal systems with more centralized policy-making produce stricter environmental policies and debates whether devolution and the establishment of subsidiaries will lead to less environmental protection. An essential insight into the complexities of policy-making and governance structures, this book is an important contribution to the growing debates surrounding comparative federalism and multi-level governance.

This document provides the rationale for development of Canadian environmental quality guidelines for NP & NPEs. It contains technical background information on the chemical & physical properties of NP & NPEs and a review of their sources & emissions in Canada, the distribution & behaviour of these chemicals in the environment, their toxicological effects on aquatic & terrestrial species, and NP/NPE guidelines developed in other jurisdictions. The information is then used to derive water, sediment, & soil quality guidelines for NP/NPEs to protect ecological receptors in each of these environmental compartments. The final sections suggest areas for future research & provide guidance on implementation of the guidelines.
