While the environmental performance of most ASEAN member states is above the world average, ASEAN nations will continue to face growing environmental challenges due to pressures exerted on them such as population growth, urbanization and industrialization. The authors of this book look at how the member states of ASEAN employ law as a means of regional integration within the context of environmental conservation. While the goal of new laws is to implement sustainable development, it continues to be an ongoing adaptive process, since clear and immediate answers to environmental challenges are rarely available. Readers of this book will gain a clear idea of the evolving cooperation for sustainability within ASEAN at regional and global levels, and the areas of focus for the future. The book will be of interest to policy and decision makers, as well as environmental organizations and academics in the field.

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the status and progress of China-ASEAN green development and examines the common development issues in China and ASEAN Member States (AMSs). It also explores development trends within the framework of global and regional environmental governance and discusses the approaches towards green development in China and AMSs, offering its own definition of green development and using a “pressure-state-response” (PSR) model to build a framework for assessing green development. The book includes typical policy measures and numerous practices for green development in China and AMSs in the form of tables, figures and boxes. Based on detailed analysis, it argues that the global 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development brings significant opportunities to China and AMSs, that the ongoing pragmatic cooperation should be further advanced, and that a connection between the Belt and Road Initiative and green ASEAN Community should be established to achieve regional sustainable development. As such it furthers readers’ understanding of environment and development and practical policy advice for promoting China-ASEAN cooperation on environment and green development. Intended for decision makers from the government, business sector, and civil societies who are working to boost green development and China-ASEAN cooperation, it is also a valuable resource for government officials, researchers and non-experts interested in creating a balanced relationship between the environment and development.

Transboundary haze pollution is a major problem that affects the environment and human health of the ASEAN region. In addressing shared environmental problems ASEAN places more reliance on prevention and cooperation than establishing a liability regime or adopting legal instruments to protect the environment. This is a reflection of the so-called 'ASEAN Way', which emphasises non-interference in other states' domestic affairs, the use of consensus planning and cooperative programs, and a preference for national implementation rather than reliance on a strong region-wide agency or bureaucracy. In addition, the ASEAN preference is for 'soft' rather than 'hard' law. This article examines the strengths and weaknesses of the current ASEAN regional legal framework for addressing transboundary haze pollution, with particular emphasis on the ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution and other haze-related soft law and policy. The authors suggest that the current ASEAN legal framework, particularly the ASEAN Agreement, will not be effective in addressing haze pollution unless there are improvements to the Agreement's provisions. The article also suggests that too much reliance is placed on soft law and that more binding legal instruments should be adopted.

From 15-18 November 2013, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) chief justices and their designees convened in Bangkok, Thailand for their third roundtable on environment with the theme "ASEAN's Environmental Challenges and Legal Responses." Distinguished speakers and the judicial participants shared their knowledge and experiences in dealing with the region's environmental challenges, and the various means and innovations they have implemented to effectively address these challenges. The ASEAN judiciaries agreed on how they could advance regional collaboration and accelerate the implementation of "A Common Vision on Environment for ASEAN Judiciaries" (the "Jakarta Common Vision"), such as by establishing National Working Groups on Environment and an ASEAN Judiciaries Working Group on Environment, and prioritizing the attendance of their chief justices at the annual ASEAN Chief Justices' Roundtable on Environment that is supported by the Asian Development Bank.
