The Elgar Encyclopedia of Environmental Law is a landmark reference
work, providing definitive and comprehensive coverage of this
dynamic field. Each volume probes the key elements of law, the
essential concepts, and the latest research through concise,
structured entries written by international experts. Each entry
includes an extensive bibliography as a starting point for further
reading. The mix of authoritative commentary and insightful
discussion will make this an essential tool for research and
teaching, as well as a valuable resource for professionals and
policymakers. This volume of the Elgar Encyclopedia of
Environmental Law presents a structured overview and selective
analysis of multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs). These
agreements encompass the regulating aspects of the protection,
conservation, management, use and exploitation of living and
natural resources in various areas including biodiversity,
fisheries, marine environment, shared freshwater resources,
atmosphere, climate change, human rights, and polar regions. The
expert contributions offer critical analysis and a concise but
informative approach that provides a comprehensive introduction to
each agreement as well as to the broader landscape of MEAs. The
book guides the reader through the multifarious conventional
regulation of each area of environmental protection, both at the
global and regional levels. It details the path from the first
post-war sectorial attempts at introducing international pieces of
conventional environmental regulation to the booming of
environmental instruments of the 1990s and the recent fertile
period of new MEAs and their exponential growth. Each entry
includes an overview of the topic, a concise review of current
knowledge, new directions for cutting-edge research and a detailed
bibliography to facilitate further reading. This comprehensive,
topical and accessible volume is an essential resource for
environmental law practitioners, students and scholars seeking a
broad overview of MEAs, concise explanations of individual
agreements, and avenues for research. Contributors include: R.
