This book critically explores the legal tools, concepts, principles
and instruments, as well as cross-cutting issues, that comprise the
field of international environmental law. Commencing with
foundational elements, progressing on to discrete sub-fields, then
exploring regional cooperative approaches, cross-cutting issues and
finally emerging challenges for international environmental law, it
features chapters by leading experts in the field of international
environmental law, drawn from a range of countries in order to put
forward a truly global approach to the subject. The book is split
into five parts: * The foundations of international environmental
law covering the principles of international environmental law,
standards and voluntary commitments, sustainable development,
issues of public participation and environmental rights and
compliance, state responsibility, liability and dispute settlement.
* The key instruments and governance arrangements across the most
critical areas of international environmental law: biodiversity,
wildlife, freshwater, forestry and soils, fisheries, marine
pollution, chemicals and waste, air and atmospheric pollution and
climate change. * Crucial developments in seven distinct regions of
the world: Africa, Europe, North America, Latin America, South East
Asia, the polar regions and small island states. * Cross-cutting
issues and multidisciplinary developments, drawing from multiple
other fields of law and beyond to address human rights and
Indigenous rights, war and armed conflict, trade, financing,
investment, criminology, technology and energy. * Contemporary
challenges and the emerging international environmental law regimes
which address these: the changing climate, forced migration, marine
plastic debris and future directions in international environmental
law. Containing chapters on the most critical developments in
environmental law in recent years, this comprehensive and
authoritative book makes for an essential reference work for
students, scholars and practitioners working in the field.
