describe issues emerges in enforcement of national environment legislations?
Hello,
Here there are some issues emerges in enforcement of national environment legislation .
The precautionary principle This principle has evolved to deal with risks and uncertainties faced by environmental management. The principle implies that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure— it does not prevent problems but may reduce their occurrence and helps ensure contingency plans are made.
The polluter-pays principle In addition to-the obvious—the polluter pays for the damaged caused by a development—this principle also implies that a polluter pays for monitoring and policing. A problem with this approach is that fines may bankrupt small businesses, yet be low enough for a large company to write them off as an occasional overhead, which does little for pollution control.
Freedom of information: Environmental planning and management is hindered if the public, NGOs or even official bodies are unable to get information.
I hope this helps you .
Thank you !
