This book features a series of essays on environmental law and
policy in Africa from experts within and outside the region. It
primarily aims to demonstrate how African countries are responding
to their international environmental obligations contained in
instruments, such as the Convention on Biological Diversity,
Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Desertification
Convention, in light of local environmental problems. The book
covers national experiences ranging from the input in multilateral
negotiations to national implementation, with some attention given
to the wide assortment of policy and regulatory instruments used to
achieve the optimum balance between exploitation of natural
resources and conserving the continent's environment.
This book is a welcome contribution to the scholarship on the
implementation of international environmental law and policy at the
regional level. Increasing attempts by African countries to meet
their international commitments while achieving national economic
development objectives helps inform the student, project manager,
parliamentarian or national regulator, about practical and
empirical ways to achieve sustainable development outcomes. As
African economies develop, there should be parallel enactments of
new environmental laws and regulations. Further study of these
processes is needed in order to determine where capacity deficits
exist and where positive lessons can be learned. This book
supplements the development of new and exciting research on African
environmental law and policy.
