Towards a "second generation" in environmental laws in the Asian and Pacific region : select trends. Proceedings of an IUCN/IGES/ADB symposium
Laws in the twentieth century were based on economic growth and development. This new century calls for the reassessment of all laws from an environmental perspective in consideration of such looming environmental concerns as global warming, degradation of biodiversity and pollution. This book captures some provoking thoughts raised during a symposium on second generation environmental laws held in Japan in 2002.
