Abstract
The under-prioritisation of environmental crimes compared to other crime types is a well-quoted issue of environmental crime enforcement. However, evidence backing this sentiment is low. Here, we use a publicly available database of the largest enforcement agency globally, INTERPOL Red Notices, to investigate global environmental crime enforcement. We find environmental crime-relevant Red Notices to be the lowest observed crime category by far, with less than 2% of notices referencing environmental crimes. We link the implications of these findings to changes in environmental policies and the efficacy of implementing advancing policies.
