What is Environmental Law?

ENVIRONMENTAL LAW IS DEFINED AS A COLLECTIVE

TERM ENCOMPASSING ASPECTS OF THE LAW THAT
PROVIDE PROTECTION TO THE ENVIRONMENT.

A RELATED BUT DISTINCT SET OF REGULATORY

REGIMES, NOW STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY
ENVIRONMENTAL LEGAL PRINCIPLES, FOCUS ON THE
MANAGEMENT OF SPECIFIC NATURAL RESOURCES,
SUCH AS FORESTS, MINERALS, OR FISHERIES.
What is the purpose of Environmental Laws?

The purpose of these environmental laws is to prevent,

minimize, remedy and punish actions that threaten or
damage the environment and those that live in it.

What is the importance of environmental studies

in engineering?

The goal of environmental engineering is to ensure that

societal development and the use of water, land and air
resources are sustainable. This goal is achieved by
managing these resources so that environmental pollution
and degradation is minimized

dedicated to the protection of the ozone layer. The
Convention commits all countries to take measures to
protect human health and the environment resulting
from modifications to the ozone layer.
• It provides frameworks for international reductions in the
production of chlorofluorocarbons due to their contribution to
the destruction of the ozone layer, resulting in an increased
threat of skin cancer.

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer

(the Montreal Protocol) is an international agreement made in 1987.
It was designed to stop the production and import of ozone
depleting substances and reduce their concentration in the
atmosphere to help protect the earth's ozone layer.

The Philippines signed the Montreal Protocol on September 14,

1988 and ratified it on March 21, 1993. The Philippines' commitment
to the Montreal Protocol is to phase out its consumption of all
ODS. The Montreal Protocol defines consumption as production
plus import minus export.

The Kyoto Protocol was an international treaty which extended

the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC) that commits state parties to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions, based on the scientific
consensus that (part one) global warming is occurring and (part
two) that human-made CO2 emissions are driving it. The Kyoto
Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on 11 December 1997 and
entered into force on 16 February 2005. There were 192 parties
(Canada withdrew from the protocol, effective December 2012)[5] to
the Protocol in 2020.

The Kyoto Protocol applied to the seven greenhouse gases listed in Annex
A: carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O),
hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6),
Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3). Nitrogen trifluoride was added for the second
compliance period during the Doha Round.

• Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants
signed by 152 countries on May 22, 2001 at Stockholm, Sweden

The Stockholm Convention is a global treaty to protect human

health and the environment from persistent organic pollutants
(POPs). POPs are chemicals that remain intact in the environment
for long periods, become widely distributed geographically,
accumulate in the fatty tissue of living organisms and are toxic to
humans and wildlife. POPs circulate globally and can cause damage
wherever they travel. In implementing the Convention, Governments
will take measures to eliminate or reduce the release of POPs into
the environment.

• Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movement of
Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal
signed by 53 countries on March 21, 1989 at Basel, Switzerland

Basel Convention, is an international treaty that was designed to

reduce the movements of hazardous waste between nations, and
specifically to prevent transfer of hazardous waste
from developed to less developed countries (LDCs). It does not,
however, address the movement of radioactive waste. The
convention is also intended to minimize the rate and toxicity of
wastes generated, to ensure their environmentally sound
management as closely as possible to the source of generation, and
to assist LDCs in environmentally sound management of the
hazardous and other wastes they generate.

• Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for
Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Use
signed by 53 countries on March 21, 1989 at Rotterdam, the Netherlands

The Rotterdam Convention is an international treaty designed

to facilitate informed decision-making by countries with regard
to trade in hazardous chemicals. It establishes a list of covered
chemicals and requires parties seeking to export a chemical on
that list to first establish that the intended importing country
has consented to the import.

• Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for
Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Use
signed by 53 countries on March 21, 1989 at Rotterdam, the Netherlands

The Rotterdam Convention establishes a prior informed consent (“PIC”)

procedure to ensure that restricted hazardous chemicals are not
exported to countries that do not wish to receive them. The PIC
procedure does not ban or restrict any chemicals, nor does it mean that
any individual country must automatically prohibit their import.

It also requires that a party seeking to export a chemical that is not listed
under the Convention but that is subject to a ban or severe restriction in
its own territory must provide notice to the importing country of the
proposed export. The Convention entered into force on February 24,
2004.

WHAT IS AN ECC?

• A document issued by the DENR-

EMB after a positive review of an
application, certifying that the
proposed project has complied
with all the requirements of the
Environmental Impact Statement
System
WHAT IS AN ECC?

• An Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) is

not a permit and should not be interpreted as such but
rather a set of conditionalities, which will have to be
complied with by the Project before implementing the
said project.

• The issuance of an ECC is therefore not a license for

any Project Proponent to undertake an activity they
sought to operate as they will have to secure Permits
from concerned government agencies.
