“…This section presents a review of the literature dealing with how states transform international environmental treaties into national law. The exploration falls within the field of international cooperation studies (Underdal, 1992), sub-field of regime effectiveness, which evaluates the success of an international cooperative arrangement-usually a treaty-vis-à-vis a predefined set of standards (Brandi et al, 2019;Jackson & Bührs, 2015;Underdal, 1992). Despite the significant body of knowledge about the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of international treaties, this literature review identifies a lack of information regarding how nations implement their international commitments legislatively.…”

Since the 1970s, the world has witnessed a proliferation of international treaties championing the protection of wildlife. The effectiveness of those treaties, which together comprise international wildlife law (IWL), depends on their national implementation by individual states rather than on their number. National implementation of IWL ranges from legislative action, to resource allocation, to individual behavioural change. Inadequate IWL implementation can facilitate and even lead to wildlife crime. Therefore, examining how countries operationalise their commitments derived from IWL is important to understand the efficacy (or lack thereof) of wildlife treaties. The main goal of this article is to investigate the dynamics by which nations internalise international wildlife commitments into state law, by using Norway as a case study. The article thus explores the social dynamics that shaped the domestic legal action that Norway undertook after its ratification of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats (Bern Convention). The study is based on historical data documenting Norway’s legislative processes derived from the conventions and historical records of the country’s environmental conflicts. It applies Chambliss’s sociology of law perspective on conflict to interpret the material. While many globalisation scholars hold that globalisation stripped states of legislative sovereignty, this article argues that Norway’s wildlife policy is mostly dependent on clashes between national forces, rather than Norway conceding legislative powers to the international community. In other words, the tension between economic growth and ecosystem conservation determines how Norway implements IWL commitments. This article contributes to the literature on environmental regime effectiveness and the domestic impact of treaties.

“…But human actions caused 22.4 percent to 35.5 percent of the land area degradation in the past fifteen years, on which indigenous people of Africa and Ethiopia depended for their livelihood (SDGs report, 2019). Among many factors that aggravate degradation, extractive industries are one of the major ones, which damage the ecosystem by their nature (Jackson & Buhrs, 2015). Especially, frequent impacts of mining on the indigenous people's holdings include land degradation, deforestation, and mine-induced pollution (Wolff, 2014).…”

Access and Benefit Sharing Effectiveness: International Environmental Law Implementation at the Domestic Ethiopian Level

Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) in international environmental laws (mainly, but not limited to, biodiversity) converges with human rights instruments on indigenous people. State parties should take legislative, administrative, and practical measures to realize the ABS regimes. This article argues that there are normative and practical gaps including confusing ABS with compensation in Ethiopian domestic laws and actual implementation, while ABS itself is not well understood. The article finally recommends legal amendments and policymakers' political move to comply with the country's international duty.

“…A környezeti ügyek esetében több mint elégtelen e globális kormányzási helyzet és sajnos az 1990-es évtized végén elindult ENSZ reformfolyamat végül szinte érintetlenül hagyta a területet (leszámítva a fent említett kisebb intézményi módosulásokat). Egy közelmúltbeli elemzés szerint is a globális környezeti kihívások miatt teljességgel indokolt lenne, hogy az ENSZtagállamok végre megfelelő intézményi szinten foglalkozzanak "a közös 362 UNEP Governing Council (1972 végrehajtásának értékeléséből levezetett -"intézményi" vagy jogi hatékonyságnak [Jackson & Bührs, 2015;Sand, 2016 370 ].…”

A kiadásért felelős az Akadémiai Kiadó Zrt. igazgatója Az ajánlás ("fülszöveg"): A globalizáció már eddig is rendkívül nagy és kockázatos hatással volt a földi környezetre, amely a társadalmak közös otthona, és amelynek állapotától, erőforrásaitól függ a jelen és a jövő nemzedékek élete, életminősége. E kötet szerzője áttekinti a tágan értelmezett környezeti globalizációs folyamat kibontakozását, az okok és a veszélyes következmények feltárását, a nemzetközi tudományos és politikai együttműködés fejlődését. Bemutatja a főbb nemzetközi szervezeteket, programokat, megállapodásokat, értékeli azok hatékonyságát és levonja a legfontosabbnak tartott tanulságokat.A borítón a témakörrel foglalkozó világtalálkozók jelképei
