This important new monograph offers an innovative new analysis of
the Aarhus Convention. Environmental law is dense with monolithic
concepts, from environmental democracy to intergenerational
justice, from sustainable development to stewardship. Each concept
generates its own mythology about what environmental law should
aspire to. Sometimes these ideas become so big that we lose hold of
their meaning and therefore what we allude to when we describe
environmental law in such terms. No more so is this true than in
relation to the Aarhus Convention – an ambitious instrument of
environmental law that promotes public participation and access to
justice in relation to the environment. Since its inception it has
been revered in glowing terms, and praised variously for its
contribution to citizenship, environmental responsibility and
democratic legitimacy. But how are we to know whether these
descriptions are mere puffs or genuine statements about the
Convention’s character? This book digs deep into the foundations
of the Aarhus Convention, examining its ambitious potential through
the lens of three foundational purposes – environmental rights,
democracy and stewardship. In so doing, it contributes to our
understanding both of the Convention and our understanding of three
important purposes that inhabit environmental law, unravelling and
reassembling them to build meaning into our broad-brush
descriptions.
