Oprindeligt en del af det anerkendte flerbinds “International Encyclopaedia of Laws” giver denne bog let adgang til lovgivning og praksis vedrørende miljøet i Danmark. En generel introduktion dækker geografiske forhold, politiske, sociale og kulturelle aspekter, miljølovgivningens kilder og principper, miljølovgivning og offentlige myndigheders rolle.
Hoveddelen af bogen beskæftiger sig først med love, der er rettet direkte mod at beskytte miljøet mod forurening på specifikke områder såsom luft, vand, affald, jord, støj og stråling. Derefter dækker et afsnit om natur- og bevaringsforvaltning beskyttelse af natur- og kulturressourcer såsom monumenter, landskaber, parker og reservater, dyreliv, landbrug, skove, fisk, undergrund og mineraler. Herudover dækkes anvendelse af zone- og arealanvendelsesplanlægning, regler om ansvar og administrative og retslige midler vedrørende miljøspørgsmål. Der er også en analyse af betydningen af international og regional lovgivning og traktater på miljøregulering.
Dens kortfattede, men alligevel videnskabelige karakter, samt den praktiske kvalitet af den information, den giver, gør denne bog anvendelig for miljøadvokater, der behandler sager, der berører Danmark. Akademikere og forskere, såvel som erhvervsinvestorer og de forskellige internationale organisationer på området, vil også med fordel kunne bruge bogen.

Index
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book provides ready access to legislation and practice concerning the environment in Denmark. A general introduction covers geographic considerations, political, social and cultural aspects of environmental study, the sources and principles of environmental law, environmental legislation, and the role of public authorities.
The main body of the book deals first with laws aimed directly at protecting the environment from pollution in specific areas such as air, water, waste, soil, noise, and radiation. Then, a section on nature and conservation management covers protection of natural and cultural resources such as monuments, landscapes, parks and reserves, wildlife, agriculture, forests, fish, subsoil, and minerals. Further treatment includes the application of zoning and land-use planning, rules on liability, and administrative and judicial remedies to environmental issues. There is also an analysis of the impact of international and regional legislation and treaties on environmental regulation.
Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable resource for environmental lawyers handling cases affecting Denmark. Academics and researchers, as well as business investors and the various international organizations in the field, will welcome this very useful guide, and will appreciate its value in the study of comparative environmental law and policy.
