Abstract
One of the biggest challenges facing international environmental protection is enforcement. States are called upon by agreements such as the Rio Declaration and the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change to develop laws establishing liability for environmental damage by their private actors. Even when states have strong domestic emissions standards, companies often outsource their pollution to those with lax standards or little enforcement capacity — often in the Global South.
