HL.aC Drafting environmental law Notes
Different Levels of Environmental Laws
Environmental laws can be drafted and enforced at different levels, including local, national, and international scales.
Laws at higher levels (national or international) override local laws if there is a conflict, ensuring consistency in environmental regulations.
Local Environmental Laws (City or Regional Level)
These laws address community-specific environmental concerns like waste management, air quality, and green spaces.
Example
London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), UK
London introduced ULEZ to reduce vehicle emissions by charging polluting vehicles to enter the city.
This law helps improve air quality and reduce health risks for residents.
It is enforced at the city level but aligns with national air pollution standards.
Why It Matters?
Tackles urban air pollution at a city level.
Encourages cleaner transportation.
Can be expanded or adapted by other cities.
