The international legal regime for the protection of biological diversity evolved, throughout the last half of the twentieth century, in an ad hoc and piecemeal fashion, reflecting changing political realities, conservation challenges and the rapidly developing scope and nature of international environmental law. This fragmented and unsystematic development, in the face of ecological challenges on a global scale, raises serious problems of lack of coordination, replication of efforts and policy divergence between regimes. Concern about these inefficiencies has prompted a range of recent initiatives to promote coherent links between environmental agreements, with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) as the prime motivator. These include an ongoing project focusing on the harmonization of national reporting requirements, a United Nations University/UNEP 1999 Conference on ‘Interlinkages: Synergies and Coordination between Multilateral Environmental Agreements’, and statements or substantive action brought about by many multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) to address the need for cooperation.
