Abstract
A critical component in ensuring effective environmental governance is the existence of a vigilant civil society which can activate relevant statutory agencies to enforce environmental policy and legislation. Lawyers are in a special position to provide leadership in this domain, although the lack of formal training in environmental law and policy advocacy in this region has highlighted the need to provide some. The compilation of papers in this volume provides background materials on the Regional Training course on Environmental Litigation and Advocacy which was held in April 2002 in Johannesburg.
