The PLC Cross-border Environment Handbook is a multi-jurisdictional guide that brings together practical information on topical cross-border environment issues, country-specific Q&As on environment law and practice, and details of recommended environment lawyers and law firms in jurisdictions around the world.

In each country-specific Q&A, a standard set of questions relating to environment law and practice is answered by a law firm recommended for its expertise in that jurisdiction, following independent research carried out by PLC Which lawyer?

The Q&A guide gives a structured overview of the key practical issues, including emissions to air and water, environmental impact assessments, waste, contaminated land, and environmental issues in transactions. The second Q&A guide covers carbon trading, renewable energy and energy efficiency in buildings. In addition, answers to questions can be compared across a number of jurisdictions to assist in managing cross-border transactions (see Country Q&A tool).
