tailieunhanh - INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS HANDBOOK

Significant changes in the environmental field have required a re-evaluation of the environmental protection programs in place around the world. Although reductions in pollution levels have been realized in certain areas, necessary expectations for environmental protection have not been met in spite of extensive regulatory programs and cost expenditures. This book examines new approaches to environmental protection, including the emerging field of international environmental law and environmental management systems. | International Environmental Standards Handbook Scott S.
