This publication is about an important topic for the future of Namibia; it presents, thanks to the commitment of the Legal Research and Development Trust (LRDT), a compilation of all environmentally relevant norms and standards, reflecting actual contemporary ecological concerns. As such, it provides a basis for further academic, legal and practical considerations of environmental concerns. This focus on the environment does not indicate that the important topics of development cooperation have become less important. Creating justice on a global level, and adherence to the Millennium Development Goals, adopted by the international community, is still what matters most.
