- Abstract
INEA has highlighted that the success of such partnerships depends on how the contract has been designed, whether there is a functioning legal system, the relationship with contract and investment law, and often aid or government funding (Mirumachi & Hurlbert, [12]). Lessons learnt from international environmental agreements for the Stockholm + 50 Conference: celebrating 20 Years of INEA Conclusions International environmental agreements are necessary Despite the rise of transnational governance and multiple polycentric approaches, there is growing evidence that international environmental agreements between states are an essential tool for addressing transboundary to global environmental challenges, especially as we reach and/or cross planetary boundaries. While it needs international law to protect its multinationals, and its trade and investment interests, it tends to be a laggard in entering international environmental agreements (e.g. the US has not signed the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea; the UN Convention on Biological Diversity; the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal; the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants; and some related human rights agreements).
