Economic development is a priority for most South Asian economies to reduce poverty and related problems. Development, however, brings with it numerous environmental challenges, from water scarcity to pollution. Some countries will also bear the brunt of problems they did not create, such as climate change. These problems are exacerbated by a deficit in the rule of law in many of these countries.

Papers will be published in Environmental Law Review.
