Abstract
The blockchain applications are a relatively new innovation, especially in the field of envirinmental law enforcement. The review of the existing literature on blockchain applications seems to point out the availability of great potential for these application in the field of environmental compliance and enforcement. The study aims to review the existing blockchain technologies in environmental compliance and enforcement and other relevant fields. The study recommend that Future research is required to further investigate the potential and impact of blockchain application on environmental enforcement.
