For the last four decades, cooperation among the eight countries in which the rainforest lies was primarily induced by the Amazon Cooperation Treaty (ACT). Originally adopted to ensure national sovereignty, the ACT gradually evolved towards a framework for sustainable development. Based on the challenges faced by the treaty and its subsequent instruments, Maria Antonia Tigre analyzes ways in which the ACT can be more effectively applied, leading to practical results that reduce deforestation. These specifically relate to the enforceability of the right to the environment, the implementation of protected areas, and the development of financial mechanisms to fund initiatives.International Environmental Law13.Environmental lawAmazon River RegionEnvironmental policyAmazon River RegionEnvironmental impact analysisLaw and legislationAmazon River RegionDeforestationControlAmazon River RegionElectronic books.Environmental lawEnvironmental policyEnvironmental impact analysisLaw and legislationDeforestationControl344.8046Tigre Maria Antonia1039038MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910494605403321Regional cooperation in Amazonia2460971UNINA
