ASEAN Environmental Law, Policy and Governance: Selected Documents, in two volumes, contains a judicious compilation of relevant ASEAN environmental instruments. These documents deal with ASEAN's progressive development of environmental law, policy and governance. Volume I consists of two parts. Part I — “Setting the Stage for ASEAN Environmental Cooperation, Harmonization and Integration” — contains documents which are directly or indirectly related to various aspects of the environment, including their potential impact. The scope of environmental law is wide-ranging and its interrelationship straddles the three mutually reinforcing ASEAN pillars, namely, security, economic and socio-cultural. Part II deals with the “General Legal Frameworks on the Environment”. It is subdivided into (A) Programmes, Strategies, Plans of Action and Blueprints; and (B) Declarations, Resolutions and Accord.

The forthcoming Volume II will deal with key sectoral areas including nature conservation and biodiversity; water resources management; animal and human health; climate change and energy; transboundary pollution; and disaster management and emergency response.

The book will be of interest to all ASEAN government officials, diplomats and its peoples; ASEAN dialogue partners; entities associated with ASEAN; comparative environmental lawyers and every ASEAN watcher.

This book is also available as a set with ASEAN Environmental Law, Policy and Governance (Volume II).
