Financing Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Programs

Written for the Fourth International Conference on Environmental Compliance held in 1996, this document is a guide for governments and other responsible organizations on financing the inspections, negotiations, legal actions, and promotional projects that are necessary to an effective environmental compliance and enforcement program. Compliance-enforcement specialists will find guidance on budgeting for compliance measures, as well as a list of funding opportunities from special-revenue and general-revenue sources. Also included is a discussion of who should pay for pollution-control devices. A series of case studies offers examples of compliance-enforcement financing throughout the world.
