Papers by Dafe M Ugbeta
This paper examines the Bill as drafted, focusing on its key provisions particularly those explaining what the offence entails, the scope and persons to whom the Bill applies, means of enforcement and potential implications for corporate bodies operating in Nigeria. The paper also highlights the limitations of the Bill and the potential challenges that may arise during implementation, if it is adopted as presently constituted.
Drawing on relevant literature, this paper reviews the EU’s contributions to the efforts in fighting climate change, both domestically and internationally. In doing so, the focus of the paper will be on the key accomplishments and failures of the EU in the climate change process. It concludes that, much as the EU’s response so far is arguably impressive, there is extreme need for better global synergy, particularly now that the international community is looking towards a new climate regime.
Drawing on recent decisions of the UK and Nigerian courts, this paper examines, amongst other things, the key features of these torts and the scope of their relevance in the overall scheme of environmental protection. Overall, the paper suggests that even as these mechanisms continue to be useful means of protecting private rights, there remain certain drawbacks in the scope of their application such that they cannot always provide solutions to the environmental challenges that private individuals and groups suffer.
