ABSTRACT
Contemporary international law has a significant focus on the protection of global environment. Environmental issues including climate change, global warming, and biodiversity erosion have raised common concerns affecting international communities. International environmental norms negotiated and renegotiated at the global level have contributed immensely to devising distinctive mechanisms, which have been domesticated by nation states in varied scales and dimensions. Being part of international law, the distinctive set of environmental norms and principles constitute the corpus of international environmental law. Bangladesh being one of the worst suffering nations has been endeavouring to generate national environmental laws, policies, and programme of actions for maximum conformity to the norms and principles of international environmental law.
