Zusammenfassung
Namibia - das frühere Südwestafrika - ist eines der trockensten Länder der Erde, weshalb seine unberührte Umwelt besonders empfindlich und schutzbedürftig ist. In dieser Publikation werden nationales Umweltrecht und namibische Umweltpolitik im Zusammenspiel mit internationalen Umweltnormen und -standards untersucht. Auch das Umweltrecht der Afrikanischen Union und der Entwicklungsgemeinschaft des südlichen Afrikas wird behandelt. Die Publikation reflektiert rechtliche und politische Optionen zur Regulierung von Sektor relevanten Umweltinteressen, die auch für die internationale Entwicklungszusammenarbeit und wirtschaftlichen Austausch relevant sind. Darüber hinaus bietet das Werk eine solide Grundlage für die rechtsvergleichende Umweltrechtswissenschaft.Mit Beiträgen vonShirley Bethune, Clinton Hay, Pieter Heyns, Manfred O. Hinz, Jonathan M.

Abstract
Namibia - formerly South West Africa - is one of the driest countries on earth, making its pristine environment particularly sensitive and in need of protection. This publication examines national environmental law and Namibian environmental policy in interaction with international environmental norms and standards. The environmental law of the African Union and the Southern African Development Community is also addressed. The publication reflects legal and policy options for regulating different sectoral environmental interests that are also relevant for international development cooperation and economic exchange. In addition, the work provides a solid foundation for comparative environmental law scholarship.With contributions byShirley Bethune, Clinton Hay, Pieter Heyns, Manfred O. Hinz, Jonathan M.
