Environmental Enforcement Authorities (EEAs), sometimes called
Environmental Protection Agencies (EPAs), are the regulatory,
monitoring and enforcement agencies of national, state/provincial
and local governments worldwide responsible for implementing,
monitoring and enforcing environmental legislation. This
one-of-a-kind, authoritative handbook offers a comprehensive
assessment of the principles and best practice of EEAs throughout
the world with a focus on Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia, east
and south-east Asia and various other OECD, transition and
developing countries. The book assesses structures, expertise and
capacity, financing, permitting, monitoring, inspection,
enforcement and EEA performance and future directions. It also
identifies best practice for creating or improving EEAs. It offers
substantial information for industry on the nature of compliance
with environmental regulations as well as vital information for
professionals, consultants, NGOs and researchers working at the
interface between government EEAs and industry.
