Description: Enhancing Compliance and Strengthening Enforcement of Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) All countries must work -- individually and cooperatively -- to strengthen and coordinate the implementation, compliance and enforcement of MEAs at the national level and to build partnerships among governments and civil society to address insufficient human and financial resources. Moreover, industrialized countries should work with developing countries, and countries in transition to ensure adequate and transparent financial resources, as well as access to technical expertise and training to develop necessary knowledge and skills.
