Legal Indicators for Measuring the Effectivity of Environmental Laws and Sustainable Development

In this insightful roundtable discussion featuring Professor Michel Prieur, we discussed the groundbreaking work by Prieur, Christophe Bastin, and Ali Mekouar on "Measuring the Effectivity of Environmental Law." Expanding beyond traditional metrics, legal indicators were explored as a tool to assess the true impact of environmental legislation. Professor Prieur delved into how these indicators contribute to legislative reforms, informed decision-making, and a more impactful environmental legal landscape. Key topics included the role of legal indicators in evaluating environmental laws, insights into enforcement and justiciability, and their alignment with sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific region, resonating with the Asian Development Bank's commitment to environmental governance.
