This book studies the role of the United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP) as an advocate for greater environmental
responsibility and analyses the major achievements and outcomes of
two landmark conferences – Stockholm (1972) and Rio (1992) –
which set the agenda for the future role of the UNEP. It discusses
the UNEP’s evolution, objectives and the problems of differing
perspectives within, its ability to deal with environmental
challenges, its skill in successfully carrying out the mandate and
contributing to the pursuit of environmental security. The book
also looks at five developing countries of South Asia, namely
India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, to study the role
of the South Asia Co-operative Environment Programme (SACEP), which
plays an active role in the management of environmental issues and
constitutes an important landmark in regional cooperation in South
Asia. The author evaluates the contributions of National
Conservation Strategies not only in creating environmental
awareness but also in strengthening environmental governance
architecture by integrating Millennium Development Goals and
Sustainable Development Goals into the development planning of
these South Asian countries under study. Drawing on in-depth
research and interviews, this book will be of interest to students,
teachers, researchers, policymakers and strategic analysts working
in the fields of environment studies, sustainable development,
environmental science and policy, environmental law and governance,
geography, politics and international affairs.
