Disciplined by industrial clock time, modern life distances people
from nature's biorhythms such as its ecological, evolutionary, and
climatic processes. The law is complicit in numerous ways. It
compresses time through 'fast-track' legislation and accelerated
resource exploitation. It suffers from temporal inertia, such as
'grandfathering' existing activities that limits the law's
responsiveness to changing circumstances. Insouciance about past
ecological damage, and neglect of its restoration, are equally
serious temporal flaws: we cannot live sustainably while Earth
remains degraded and unrepaired. Applying international and
interdisciplinary perspectives on these issues, Time and
Environmental Law explores how to align law with the ecological
'timescape' and enable humankind to 'tell nature's time'. Lending
insight into environmental behaviour and impacts, this book
pioneers a new understanding of environmental law for all
societies, and makes recommendations for its reform. Minding
nature, not the clock, requires regenerating Earth, adapting to its
changes, and living more slowly.
