Abstract
Law is one of the most effective means of addressing environmental crime. UN Environment is working with countries around the world to strengthen laws and institutions so that criminal acts in violation of environmental laws can be addressed at national and international levels. For environmental law to be effective, environmental crime needs to be clearly defined and institutions empowered to apply the law and to deal with violations through compliance and enforcement.
