Environment: Law and Justice

The concept of environmentally sound and sustainable development clearly implies not only protection of the environment and the rational use of resources but also a whole series of policy options in the economic social and cultural sphere. Environmental standards and values are a concern not only of the scientists and planners but also of lawyers and legislators. The legal machinery with which standards are to be enforced is a significant part of the regime of pollution control. It is in this context that the book would prove extremely useful not only to the administrators, policy-makers and environmental ists but also to any individual who is aware of the importance of healthy environment.
