International Law for the Environment is a comprehensive exposition
of contemporary international environmental law and the governance
institutions that implement it. Part I sets out the drivers of
threats to the planet's air, water and social support systems, the
philosophical, economic, and scientific foundations of the legal
responses to these threats, and the customary and treaty-based
legal regimes that have emerged. These regimes are placed in the
context of general international law. Part II introduces the
students to the major treaty-based regimes such as those addressing
transboundary air and water pollution, the control of pollutants
which deplete the ozone layer, global climate change, the
protection of oceans and polar regions, the disposal of hazardous
wastes outside the country of origin, the protection and allocation
of fresh waters and the restoration of degraded aquatic ecosystems,
and the conservation of biological diversity. Also addressed is the
linkage between agricultural production and the environment. Part
III examines the integration of environmental considerations into
international regimes such as human rights and environmental
justice, international trade law and the financing of sustainable
development. Environmental governance is discussed in Part IV,
together with material on international environmental institutions
and the international legal system. Throughout the book the
incorporation of international environmental law principles and
treaty obligations into national judicial decisions and legislation
is stressed.
