本章探讨电子废物-电子和电气设备产生的废物-如何对环境治理构成挑战。据估计，到2017年，全球每年产生的电子废物量将达到约720亿吨。本章讨论电子废物如何成为控制非法贸易和防止环境损害的挑战。通过关注国家、企业和民间社会行为者的作用，深入了解治理框架的优势和局限性。这表明，有必要对环境治理产生的实际和理论影响进行反思。
This chapter examines how e-waste—waste from electronic and electrical equipment—poses a challenge for environmental governance. It is estimated that the amount of e-waste generated globally every year will reach about 72 billion tonnes by 2017. This chapter discusses how e-waste is a challenge for the control of illegal trade as well as for the prevention of environmental harm. By focusing on the role of state, corporate, and civil society actors, insights are gained into the strengths and limitations of the governance framework. This suggests the need for reflection about both practical and theoretical implications that arise for environmental governance.
