Environmental principles - from the polluter pays and precautionary
principles to the principles of integration and sustainability -
proliferate in domestic and international legal and policy
discourse, reflecting key goals of environmental protection and
sustainable development on which there is apparent political
consensus. Environmental principles also have a high profile in
environmental law, beyond their popularity as policy and political
concepts, as ideas that might unify the subject and provide it with
conceptual foundations or boost its delivery of environmental
outcomes. However, environmental principles are elusive legal
concepts. This book deepens the legal understanding of
environmental principles in light of recent legal developments. It
analyses the increasing legal effects of environmental principles
in different jurisdictions and demonstrates how they are shaping
and revealing innovative and evolving bodies of environmental law.
This analysis is a step forward in understanding a key feature of
modern environmental law and presents a robust methodology for
dealing with novel legal concepts in the subject. It also makes a
contribution to environmental policy debates and discussions
internationally that rely heavily on environmental principles,
including their supposed legal effects.
