This comprehensive work takes a multidisciplinary approach to the legal and policy instruments employed to address and mitigate global environmental challenges. It offers a theoretical overview of a diverse range of instruments, distinguishing between different governance levels (treaties, domestic law), instrument types (market-based instruments, regulation, and liability rules), and the interplay between government regulation and private or self-regulation. At its core, the book delves into the exploration of the utilization of combinations of various regulatory and policy instruments across different governance levels, particularly in the context of climate change, marine oil pollution, forestry, and fisheries. The authors examine the practical approaches employed to develop these instrument mixes, shedding light on the complexities and dynamics involved in their implementation.

This book is of utmost importance to anyone seeking to gain a deeper understanding of how interactions between different instruments shape the protection of environmental resources. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners alike, providing insights into the strategies and approaches employed to address the multifaceted challenges posed by the global environment. By examining the interplay between different instruments and governance levels, this work contributes to the development of more effective and sustainable solutions to environmental problems, promoting a harmonious and sustainable relationship between human activities and the natural world.
