Publisher's Synopsis
"International Protection of the Environment" puts forth a broad and integrated study of a range of factors affecting conservation and development today. Among these key topics are pollution control, natural resource management, nature protection, public health, social and cultural well-being, and the impact on the future of an area's local economy. This set gathers documents that form the framework of 'soft-law' administrative instruments for the implementation of international environmental treaties including Agenda 21. Supplementary documents cover a number of topical subjects not among the topic addressed by the Rio de Janeiro conference such as energy and the polar regions. It is updated approximately five times per year.
