Subject
Summary:

During the past 20 years, nations have signed an increasing number of agreements on an array of environmental concerns ranging from acid rain to marine pollution. The agreements generally call for the parties to report annually on implementation. In response to congressional concerns about how well these reporting obligations are being met, GAO discusses (1) whether the agreements are specific enough to allow implementation to be measured and whether parties are reporting required information and (2) how the administrative bodies for the agreements monitor implementation. GAO also identifies proposed measures for strengthening monitoring and implementation.
