Book Description
Administrative Civil Assessments under the Environmental Management Act, 2000 potentially represent a significant tool for implementing the Polluter Pays principle in Trinidad and Tobago by making polluters liable to pay compensation for environmental degradation. An issue however arises as to whether the measure of compensation under the Act is the loss in Total Economic Value of the affected environmental asset or is instead the cost of remediation or replacing the asset. This book approaches this issue by a comparative analysis between the relevant provisions of the Act and the provisions of legislation in other jurisdictions including the United States and the United Kingdom. The legislative provisions were analysed in the context of contemporary literature on environmental economics methodologies and taking into account the experience of various courts in applying similar legislation. The paper concludes that diminution of Total Economic Value is the correct measure of compensation under the EM Act, 2000 but identifies several weaknesses and gaps in the legislative regime that should be addressed by amendment and the development of appropriate policies.

Book Description
Introduction:This paper examines sustainable environmental issues in Trinidad and Tobago. It explores how environmental changes have been one of the most complex challenges facing Trinidad and Tobago. The paper has two objectives. The first objective is to investigate the economic and social impact of environmental issues and policies in Trinidad and Tobago. The second objective is to evaluate the nature of sustainable environmental policies in Trinidad and TobagoMethods:The paper uses interviews, survey questionnaire and used secondary data to present an argument that Trinidad and Tobago will bear the brunt of the effect of environmental changes, even as it strive to overcome poverty and advance economic growth.Results:The findings show that the public sector, private sector and NGOs played a significant role in creating the environmental problems in Trinidad and Tobago. In addition, current environmental policies are not effectively implemented. Most citizens and private sector organizations are not aware of some the nation's environmental policy requirements after several years of their enactment. Conclusion:The paper concludes with a discussion of the survey results, limitations, and directions for future sustainable environmental research in the country. The future challenging goal for Trinidad and Tobago is the search for environmental pollution solutions and comprehensive new environmental policies. In addition, the government will have to employ a more aggressive public campaign to create awareness of the nation's environmental policies. Sustainable transformation in the future would require the industrial sector, governments, NGOs, and the citizens to act now, act differently, and act together.

Book Description
Public participation has become a recurring theme and a topical issue in the field of international environmental law, with many multilateral environmental instruments calling on states to guarantee effectively the concept in their laws and practices. This book focuses on public participation in environmental governance, in terms of public access to environmental information and public participation in environmental decision-making processes. Drawing on the body of international best practice principles in environmental law and taking a comparative stance, Uzuazo Etemire takes Nigeria as a key case, evaluating its procedural laws and practices in relation to public access to information and participation in decision-making in environmental matters. In working to clarify and deepen understanding of the current status of environmental public participation rights in Nigeria, the book addresses key issues in environmental governance for developing and transitional countries and the potential for public participation to improve the state of the environment and public wellbeing. This book will be of great interest to undergraduate students (as further reading) and post-graduate students, academics, researchers, relevant government agencies and departments, policy-makers and NGOs in the fields of international environmental law, environmental justice, environmental/natural resource management, development studies and international finance.
