Why is it important?
The policies should factor in the possible linkage opportunities to develop a holistic management approach in the implementation, considering the international conventions’ obligations. The study can be deemed as the first attempt to examine the consistency of the SDGs with the national environmental legal framework, which can be employed to enhance the sustainable practices. Moreover, the study develops a simple framework that can assist in reviewing, keeping the legislations and strategy consistent with the SDGs.
Perspectives
it is essential to highlight the significance of reviewing and scrutinising the current environment legal tools to eliminate the gaps, deficiencies, contradictions, and repetitions, which will strengthen the capabilities crucial for the successful implementation and enforcement of these legal tools
