“…Inclusiveness, representativeness, and deliberativeness are also important (Hartz-Karp & Pope, 2011). Rather than just one-off actions, good practice engagement requires ongoing iterative processes, and builds the capacity of all involved (Huang & London, 2012;Marsden & Brandon, 2015). Observing all these principles will lead to more effective sharing of information and to greater democracy in decision-making (Roberts, 1995(Roberts, , 2003Hartz-Karp & Pope, 2011).…”

The objective of this series of Research Handbooks on Impact Assessment is to provide a critical assessment of the state-of-the-art in the research and thinking in the various fields of impact assessment, including environmental impact assessment, strategic environmental assessment, social impact assessment, health impact assessment, biodiversity assessment, cumulative impact assessment, and so on. The series will also consider the use of impact assessment across a variety of sectors, including agriculture, energy, forestry, mining, transport. The aim is to produce prestigious high-quality works of lasting significance, offering a comprehensive overview of the research fields in question. With oversight from the Series Editor, Professor Frank Vanclay, a noted specialist in the field of impact assessment, the Research Handbooks comprise carefully commissioned chapters from leading academics and/ or reflexive practitioners selected by editors who are recognized leaders in their field. Taking a genuinely international and often transdisciplinary approach, the books in the series address current and sometimes controversial issues. Through clear analysis and lucid writing, these Research Handbooks are designed to shed light on contemporary issues and contribute to current debates. Offering unrivalled analysis and discussion, each Research Handbook will be an invaluable source of reference for an international audience of scholars, researchers and

“…Ensuring public participation is fundamental in providing the appropriate machinery through which members of the public can contribute their knowledge to government environmental policies, particularly for citing of projects which concern government economic drive, public participation further makes it easier for national environmental laws and international environmental agreements to be properly implemented and enforced effectively (Marsden and Brandon, 2015).This complements the efforts of government towards environmental protection (Marsden and Brandon, 2015). Public participation, where guaranteed, has very far implications on the conduct and response of people to Governments environmental policies, ministries, departments and parastatal, non-governmental organizations and members of the public.…”

Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the critical need for effective public participation in Nigeria as a means of enhancing sustainable development and cooperation among Indigenous peoples, as well as to advocate for the removal of legislative, judicial, and administrative barriers to participation in environmental law governance. Theoretical Framework: The existing literature has failed to address the gamut of legal, regulatory, and declarations (particularly Principle 10 of Rio 1992) and administrative frameworks for environmental protection and governance in Nigeria. These appeared to be a farce, hence the refusal to integrate the public and stakeholders’ opinions in environmental management that may conflict with official government policy. Design/Methodology/Approach: The doctrinal method of analysis was adopted. It was based on current materials and drew on contrasting views of learned authors and scholars, as well as various legislative sources. Data was obtained using texts, articles, journals, case law, electronic sources, legislation, and other policy documents. Findings: The results shows how the present legal and regulatory framework for the protection of the environment in Nigeria contradicts the concept of improved public participation. Research, Practical & Social implications: The study suggest the development of an effective legislative framework that incorporates the guiding principles of global public participation initiatives for environmental sustainability. Originality/Value: The value of the study reveals the global significance and the potential of public participation to improve the sustainability of the environment in Nigeria are essential to advancing the status of Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration as an emergent customary international law.

“…Under transboundary natural resource management,, states must transcend their sovereign rights, come together and resolve issues concerning transboundary natural resources and their common concerns regarding them. In practice, however, TRNM is a complicated issue because of the lack of effective cooperation in many cases, which can ultimately lead to failure (Marsden, 2016). This failure can result in heightened conflicts and even risks to the health and well-being of the people (Nalecz, 2011).…”

Transboundary natural resources management means "any process of cooperation across boundaries that facilitates or improves the management of natural resources (to the benefit of all parties in the area concerned)". Because of their importance, these natural resources must be protected and managed in a way that will prevent their degradation and damage. Actual cases proved that joint management of transboundary natural resources often involves conflict or misunderstanding. The management of these resources should, thus, be anchored on some solid legal and institutional framework. The results of this article shows the need to strengthen the legal and institutional framework for proper international, regional and national management of natural resources that straddle more than one state. The article further reinstates the fact that this is a great means of ensuring environmental protection and avoiding conflicts among countries.
