Environmental legislation

Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) are becoming more common in government life, necessitating a great familiarity by more people, as many countries are unable to engage effectively in treaties and conventions owing to lack of necessary expertise and resources. This handbook was created to suit the needs of the Pacific region and was prepared as a practical introduction to negotiating or working on MEAs for people with little or no technical background in negotiations. It also functions as a key reference tool for experience negotiators.

This book provides a review of progress in achieving the EECCA Environment Strategy's objectives, and provides a solid analytical base for discussions on future environmental co-operation between EECCA countries and their partners.
