Overview

In recent years there has been growing awareness that a major reason for the worsening global environment is the failure to create adequate institutional responses to fully address the scope, magnitude and complexity of environmental problems. Much of the criticism directed at the global institutions has focused on the necessity for greater coordination and synergism among Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) and among policies and laws that take better account of the inter-relationships between ecological and societal systems. This book seeks to fill the gap in knowledge and policy-making that exists and push our understanding on how we approach international environmental law. In the course of doing so, it examines the essence of the assumptions made about cooperation among MEAs, provides a framework for measuring the effectiveness of MEAs and shows how the effectiveness of MEAs can be improved through strengthening their interlinkages. Moreover, it demonstrates how MEAs that cooperate with treaties outside the environment under other pillars of sustainable development can also improve their effectiveness.
