Law
Three general approaches to environmental law are:
1. Domestic environmental law at the scale of a particular individual
country and internal entities (e.g., states & cities). For information at
this scale, see:
· Individual country pages at Countries A>Z
2. International environmental law. In addition to the resources on this
page, more on international environmental law can be found starting
at the Global environmental governance hub.
3. Comparative environmental law at the scale of two or more countries,
relevant resources for which can be found on this page.
