dc.descriptionThis issue brief outlines the environmental dimension of Sustainable Development Goal 16, focusing on the role of governance, justice, and institutional effectiveness in addressing environmental challenges. It situates the goal within broader sustainable development efforts, emphasising links between environmental rights, rule of law, and public participation. The document reviews global progress in environmental legislation and institutional development since the 1970s, while identifying persistent gaps in implementation and enforcement. It highlights rising environmental degradation, pollution, and environmental crime, alongside risks to vulnerable populations. The brief also describes policy responses, capacity-building efforts, and international cooperation mechanisms aimed at strengthening environmental governance and supporting effective legal frameworks.en
