What makes for an efficient and effective international environmental agreement? These key questions are analysed in an ambitious new book written by 11 researchers from the Fridtjof Nansen Institute and published in the series Routledge Research in Environmental Politics. The 11 authors are all experts on various sectors of international environmental cooperation. Their individual chapters are grouped in three parts: air (climate, ozone, air pollution), water (law of the sea, marine pollution, fisheries management) and land (biodiversity, agricultural plant diversity, forest management). Each chapter presents the international cooperation mechanisms existing in the sector, and examines what has been achieved, and why. Drawing on the analyses in the individual sector chapters, the three editors – Steinar Andresen, Elin Lerum Boasson and Geir Hønneland – seek to identify the characteristics of efficient, effective international environmental agreements. The volume concludes with research-based recommendations on how to shape future environmental cooperation for best results.
