Abstract


Objective: Environment conservation encompasses the long-term shifts in predominant climate patterns, as well as the variability that includes extreme weather events such as droughts, storms, and floods. Some regions are projected to see a decrease in annual precipitation over time, while in others, fluctuations in temperature and rainfall significantly influence plant growing seasons. This study aims to elucidate the nuances of international legal regulations pertaining to environment conservation. Additionally, it seeks to propose an original framework for integrating international environment conservation norms into national legal instruments.

Methods: This integration is based on an examination of both global international legal documents and corresponding national legislation. The research employed a comparative legal methodology to contrast the assimilation of international climate norms across various national legal systems.

Results: This method illuminated not just the similarities and differences, but also gauged the universality and efficacy of international legal principles, standards, and institutions in practice.

Conclusion: Uniquely in the realm of international law research, this study offers a holistic concept for states to fulfil their climate obligations, bridging international legal considerations with domestic regulatory concerns. Furthermore, it pinpoints specific legal regulatory methods at the international forefront.
