Clearing the Air
European Advances in Tackling Acid Rain and Atmospheric Pollution
Publication Year
This title was first published in 2002.
Content Summary
The adoption of the 1999 Gothenburg Protocol within the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) and the 2001 EU National Emission Ceilings (NEC) directive has made for much stronger European air pollution policies. This volume offers the first in-depth analysis available of this key development.
Key Questions Discussed
- What role did the three new Green member states joining the EU in 1995 play in this development?
- Will these significantly stronger policies only be followed by weaker implementation?
- Why are the EU emission ceilings more ambitious than those of CLRTAP?
- Do these more ambitious EU NEC emission ceilings and wider trends such as EU enlargement signal that CLRTAP is fading away as a central forum for European policy development?
Intended Audience
Decision makers, negotiators and international and non-governmental organizations will benefit from this book as it discusses important institutional issues. Students and academics will also find it extremely useful.
