Core Elements of Environmental Rule of LawPreeti Sikder
Environmental rule of law (ERL) represents the efficient and effective functioning of environmental governance across multiple levels of institutions, sectors, and actors. Core elements of ERL include public participation in environmental decision making, which improves information available to decision makers, enhances implementation, avoids or resolves disputes, builds public support, and improves compliance. When discussing public participation, it is important to discuss access rights as a whole.
Presentation on bangladesh environmental policy (1992)Parves Khan
The document summarizes Bangladesh's Environmental Policy from 1992. The policy aimed to maintain ecological balance, protect the country from natural disasters, regulate polluting activities, ensure environmentally sound development, sustainably use resources, and engage in international initiatives. It covered 15 development sectors and established the Ministry of Environment and Forest to coordinate implementation through a National Environment Committee. However, effective implementation has been limited due to a lack of funding, insufficient resources at the Department of Environment, poor inter-agency coordination, and limited community involvement.
This document provides an overview of the right to a healthy environment and its relationship to human rights. It discusses:
1) The concept of environmental rights as an emerging area of international law due to increasing pollution impacts on human rights.
2) How principles from the Stockholm Declaration and Rio Declaration link environmental protection and human rights.
3) That while some international agreements reference environmental rights, the right to a healthy environment is not universally recognized as a standalone human right.
4) Some regional instruments like the African Charter and Protocol of San Salvador explicitly recognize environmental rights.
5) Indian courts have interpreted the right to life in their constitution to include environmental rights.

Assessment of the Spatial Compliance and Negligence of Environmental Laws on ...AJSERJournal
This research work examined the spatial compliance and negligence of environmental laws on waste
management practices and consequences in the south-south region of Nigeria. Data for this study were collected from
primary and secondary sources, through the administration of one thousand, seven hundred and twenty eight (1,728)
copies of questionnaire using the random sampling method on respondents. Simple percentages, charts, student’s ttest, anova, and correlation statistical techniques were used in the analysis of the data collected. This study revealed
that waste management practices and controlled dumpsites location in the study area were not in compliance with
environmental laws. The null hypothesis one was rejected in favour of the positive hypothesis and concluded that, there
is a significant relationship between the waste dumpsites in the study area, and the impacts of their health hazards on
the immediate environment. The study therefore recommends that, in our pursuit of environmental protection and
compliance of environmental laws, we should strive towards achieving a balance in the benefits we derive from
activities that cause environmental pollution and the resultant harmful effects.

The document discusses the history and goals of the environmental justice movement. It began in the US in the late 1960s when Martin Luther King Jr advocated for striking garbage workers facing unfair working conditions. The EPA defines environmental justice as the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of attributes like race in environmental policy. It aims to give all people equal protection from hazards and decision making power over their environment. The document also discusses how environmental justice applies in Bangladesh through demands like food/water security, participation rights, and protections from disasters, pollution, and loss of resources.

This paper was prepared and presented during the Bunyoro Peace Dialogue, which was held at Sir Toto Owiny Primary School in Kikuube district in Uganda. The dialogue was organized by Kibale District Civil Society Organizations Network (KCSON), other Civil Society Organizations in the greater Kibaale and Bunyoro sub-region as whole in partnership with District Local Governments in the region and other partners as part of the several engagements in commemoration of the International Day of Peace, held on 21st September 2019.
This document discusses the right to environment as a human right. It outlines several key environmental rights such as the right to clean air and water. The document traces the development of environmental rights from international agreements like the Stockholm Declaration to laws in India protecting the environment. Both substantive rights to a healthy environment and procedural rights to access information are examined. The conclusion emphasizes the close relationship between human rights and the environment, and how recognizing this connection can better protect human dignity.
Indonesia is a developing country, therefore development in all sectors is implemented. Basically the development aims to provide prosperity for the community, and this is the ideal of the state as outlined in the Preamble of the Constitution of the State of the Republic of Indonesia 1945, paragraph 4th. One of these goals is to promote the general welfare.
Actually Environmental Law in Indonesia has been growing since the time of colonial Dutch East Indies government. The birth of the Stockholm Declaration of 1972, has greatly influenced the development of Environmental Law in Indonesia. What was originally oriented only to the usage then changed included also in protection. As participants of the conference, Indonesia is obliged to formulate and harmonize its legislation to the outcome of the Stockholm conference.
Although Indonesia has had Environmental Law for 36 years, but in fact have not been able to prevent the occurrence of damage / pollution. There are several examples and their case has even been up to the level of the court, such as the case of waste dumping of B3 (Hazardous and Toxic) by P.T. Indo Bharat Rayon (2013-2015), case of P.T. Freeport (2005-2006), cases of mud of P.T. Lapindo Brantas that have occurred since 2006, the pulp mill PT Inti Indorayon Utama (PT IIU) (1998-2000). Even though the community has been given the opportunity to participate in decision making as well as play a role in providing advice and feedback based on the legislation, people are still harmed as in some examples of the following cases, such as the development of PT. Cement Indonesia in Rembang, a mega peatland project in Central Kalimantan, drying up the residents' wells due to the construction of the Fave Hotel, as well as the water crisis in Kwarasan Village due to the bottled water business.
Understanding Environmental Rule of LawPreeti Sikder
This document discusses the key concepts of environmental rule of law and environmental governance. It defines environmental rule of law as focusing on compliance and enforcement of environmental laws, while environmental governance takes a broader view to include public participation and decision making. The core elements of environmental rule of law are then outlined as fair, clear and implementable laws; access to information, participation and justice; effective environmental institutions free of corruption; and clear institutional roles to avoid regulatory overlap or gaps.

During 2015 I worked as a teacher at a male vocational college in Saudi Arabia. As part of my post grad studies in Education management, law and policy, I had to conduct action research on value-driven education. I chose an environmental project on recycling, de-littering and land restoration, based on the issue of littering in Saudi Arabia. I involved my students by educating them and making them aware of the issue and then actively involved them to address the issue on a practical level within their community. This proposal was what I had to make to acquire permission and gain involvement from the college authorities.

Environmental management acts and policies in bangladeshMd. Ayatullah Khan
This document provides an overview of environmental management acts and policies in Bangladesh. It discusses how Bangladesh has enacted various laws and policies since gaining independence in 1971 to protect the environment, including the Water Pollution Control Ordinance (1973), Environment Pollution Control Ordinance (1977), and Bangladesh Environment Conservation Act (1995). National policies have also been formulated to address issues like forestry, fisheries, agriculture, and climate change. However, significant improvement in environmental management has been lacking despite these acts and policies.
The document summarizes the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development from 1992. The key outcomes were the Rio Declaration, Agenda 21, and agreements such as the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Rio Declaration established 27 principles for environmental protection and sustainable development, covering issues like the human right to development, public participation, environmental impact assessments, and special consideration for developing countries. Agenda 21 laid out an action plan across 4 sections related to social/economic development, conservation, strengthening major stakeholders, and implementation mechanisms.
Evolving a common environmental policy framework in the south south geopoliti...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a common environmental policy framework for the South-South geopolitical zone of Nigeria. It begins by providing background on environmental policy and issues facing the region, including problems like land degradation, pollution, and natural resource depletion. It then examines existing legal and institutional arrangements for environmental policy implementation across states in the zone. The paper proposes coordinating these institutions under a common set of environmental goals for the region. Finally, it outlines a possible policy cycle that could be used, beginning with problem identification, setting the policy agenda, developing proposals, implementation, and evaluation. The goal is to establish an integrated environmental policy that addresses issues in a holistic way and encourages stakeholder participation across the South-
1) Science education aims to develop students' knowledge of natural and human systems through observation and experimentation. It also seeks to cultivate skills like critical thinking.
2) Environmental literacy teaches how ecosystems and human activities interact, and empowers citizens to make informed decisions about environmental issues.
3) For citizens to understand complex issues like climate change, water resources, and biodiversity loss, science education must illustrate how carbon, water, and other materials cycle between natural and human systems over various scales of time and space.
The Alternative Transport Fuels Initiative aimed to address the unsustainable reliance on oil for transport by focusing on aviation, shipping, freight and defense which have few options other than liquid fuels. It recognized that transport is a major consumer of oil globally and oil use is forecast to rise with increased demand, leading to higher emissions. The goal was to develop alternative fuel solutions and policies drawing on the expertise of Australia and the US to transition to more sustainable transport options.

This presentation is my academic slide on the course EDUC 617, course title- Environmental Education, at Institute of Education and Research, University of Rajshahi. Here, I talked about identifying & evaluating environmental resources around us and designing an environmental education program informal, nonformal, and personalized education system.
This document summarizes barriers that indigenous communities in Cape York Peninsula, Australia face in participating in Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) markets. It argues that the current environmental management framework delivers suboptimal outcomes and constrains indigenous economic development. Insufficient funding and lack of indigenous involvement have led to increased environmental risks. Multiple layers of environmental legislation greatly restrict indigenous land use without improving outcomes. Weak indigenous land and property rights also limit PES participation. A new approach is needed that recognizes local conditions and history, reconciles development and conservation, and enables indigenous communities to benefit from environmental stewardship of their lands through PES market participation.

This document provides a historical overview of international environmental law and sustainable development policies from the late 19th century through present day. It discusses major events and agreements including the 1972 Stockholm Declaration, 1987 Brundtland Report, 1992 Rio Earth Summit, 2000 Millennium Development Goals, 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, and the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals adopted in 2015. The document traces the evolution of global cooperation on issues like climate change, biodiversity, and desertification over several decades of international negotiations and agreements.
Land tenure, access and social diversity in Latin America CIAT
This research seminar will introduce our collaborative land and forest tenure research initiative. Recent tenure reforms across globe are changing the ways people govern forests, agroforestry and small farms. Overall these reforms have recognized collective and individual rights of indigenous peoples and women. However, on-the-ground story is different and often complex for the marginalized groups.
Two empirical pilot studies from Bolivia and Colombia will address the key research question: how land tenure arrangements impact socially diverse groups like indigenous people and women (quinoa) smallholder communities in Altiplano region of Lake Titicaca, Bolivia and agro-forestry (coffee)small farms in Colombia.
What’s new research? You might be interested in this simplified version of social science research methods and concise conceptual analysis of land tenure institutional arrangements for socially diverse smallholders. The findings of this presentation will generate evidence-based discussion around governance of land tenure policy dynamics and its (un)intentional influence on individual (men and women) tenure rights, and access to resources.

This document provides background information on land reform and community empowerment in Scotland. It discusses the growth of community land ownership since the 1990s and debates around the meaning and impact of land reform. The research will examine two case studies of community land initiatives to analyze how empowered communities and individuals have been as a result of land reform efforts. Key concepts of power, community, and community empowerment will be applied. The researcher is in the process of selecting case studies and obtaining ethics approval before conducting interviews and analysis.
Steps towards a living wage in global supply chainsOxfam GB
In Dec 2014 Oxfam released an issue briefing on the living wage. You can read more about it here: www.oxfam.org.uk/livingwage
We've made this presentation available for anyone who would like to share the ideas from our living wage paper. It is fully editable, includes key graphics, and can be incorporated into other corporate presentations.
The document summarizes key findings from an Oxfam report on global wealth inequality. It finds that by 2016, the top 1% will own more wealth than the rest of the world combined. It also finds that 80 individuals now have the same amount of wealth as the bottom half of the world's population. Additionally, it shows that the financial and pharmaceutical sectors saw the largest growth in billionaire wealth from 2013-2014, and these sectors also spend hundreds of millions on lobbying each year.

Tiger Worm Toilets (Oxfam Public Health Engineering webinar) Oxfam GB
Ever scratched your head trying to find safe excreta disposal solutions for pour flush latrines in congested urban slums, remote locations, high water tables, rocky ground and no-network areas? Well, this webinar could have the answers you've been looking for.
The worm based sanitation project in Monrovia was designed by Oxfam and inspired by the Biofil (from Ghana) and Tiger Toilet systems. This novel system aims to tackle the challenges of excreta disposal where de-sludging is not possible and was designed for pour flush latrines (where waste is disposed of directly into an above ground concrete chamber). The worms live in a bedding material (coconut fibre which has been soaked for 24 hours in water) and eat the waste flushed into the chamber. Excreta are deposited on this bedding material whilst the liquid is filtered through a media of gravel, charcoal and sand. The effluent produced is collected in an external sump, which is then emptied by the householder.
After 3 years there is virtually no waste to remove from the chamber as the worms eat and excrete nominal amounts. This approach of course requires community engagement, understanding and pro-activeness before, during and after the installation of the system.

Modern_Environmental_Governance_and_Indi.pdfPrantik Roy
This document discusses the origins and evolution of modern environmental governance in India. It begins by outlining some key global environmental events in the late 20th century that increased worldwide attention on these issues. It then examines the genesis of environmental governance in India, noting that while the 1972 UN Conference on the Human Environment marked the beginning of modern diplomacy on these issues globally, India's system emerged in the 1970s in response to this conference. The document outlines some key milestones in India's environmental laws and regulations over subsequent decades, such as amendments to the constitution in the 1970s addressing environmental protection and a landmark 1986 law after the Bhopal gas tragedy. It analyzes how India's framework has continued evolving through judicial precedents on

13LINKING CLIMATE ACTION TOLOCAL KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICEAnastaciaShadelb
This document summarizes an anthropological study examining climate action efforts in two diverse Chicago neighborhoods - South Chicago and North Kenwood/Oakland. The Field Museum conducted ethnographic research in these neighborhoods to understand sociocultural viewpoints on climate change and identify opportunities to engage residents in the city's climate action plan. The research found that while climate change may not be a top concern, there are ways to promote carbon reduction strategies by linking them to issues like environmental health, energy efficiency, and job creation that communities do care about. The research aims to help make climate action more relevant and effective at the local level.

Problem-based learning is a structured, student-led process that begins with a problem as the starting point for learning. It involves students reading a problem aloud, describing the essence of the problem in a few sentences or a title. Students then brainstorm anything potentially relevant to the problem and systematically organize these ideas thematically. Finally, students identify learning outcomes phrased as researchable questions based on the issues organized in the previous stage.

The document discusses several key issues regarding the use of expert testimony in court:
1) What constitutes expertise and how is it defined in a legal context? Experts must provide objective, unbiased opinions within their expertise but cases show expert opinions can differ substantially.
2) How are expert opinions formed and evaluated, and what factors influence this? Expert opinions are not always robust and transparent, potentially misleading juries.
3) How can expert opinions best be communicated to juries to aid their understanding of complex scientific or technical issues? Effective communication is important as juries must consider expert testimony along with other evidence.

The document discusses how university websites present information about law programs and legal education. It notes that websites often show what universities want students to know rather than the information students want. It also discusses how websites could be improved by providing more consistent and navigable information across institutions, including criteria like teaching hours, assessments, employment outcomes, facilities, and fees. The document concludes that while law program websites have improved with more professional and visual content since 2004, information is still often fragmented and not always up-to-date.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
