Environmental Law, Policies and Economics
In 2006, the Department
worked at both the regional and hemispheric levels to strengthen economic,
social, and environmental policies so as to ensure that they are mutually
reinforcing and contribute to sustainable development. The Department has
also focused on capacity building related to environmental management amid
the economic integration and liberalization of trade in the region. In
2006 as part of its general capacity building effort, the Department
maintained two databases on environmental legislation in the region. The
plan is to develop an agenda for cooperation that focuses primarily on the
new challenges that the region faces as a result of the new economic and
trade reforms. During this period, assessments were also done for Trinidad
and Tobago.
