Abstract

The report suggests that bodies such as the World Conservation Union, the United Nations Environment Programme, the Asian Development Bank, the Global Environment Facility and some of the relevant non-government organisations operating In the Pacific region have roles, or further roles, to play in delivering environmental law services in the Pacific region. The coordinating role of the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme in the provision of these services is seen as crucial, in terms of consistency and cost-effectiveness. Specific actions are identified at the international, regional and national level concerning environmental "law reform in general as well as in relation to specific recommendations and suggestions found in the Legal Review reports.
