Legal Basis of Environmental Management: Challenges With Enforcing And Sustaining Environmental Compliance

Abstract

The speed at which human society has been developing in the last 50 years, threatens to lead the Earth and the Environment to destruction. Facing the increased depletion of natural resources and high levels of pollution in oceans, air and land, humanity has a critical mission to accomplish by 2030. At the core of this mission are the reduction of detrimental impacts of humanity’s activity and protection of the nature and environment. The author argues that environmental laws and management systems can play a vital role to support this mission. The article examines the legal basis of environmental law and Environmental Management System (EMS), their gaps and challenges with implementation and enforcement. Moreover, the author offers views on how environmental compliance can be sustained.
