This book uses a transdisciplinary systems approach to examine how
Earth's human-caused ecological crisis arose and presents a new
legal approach for overcoming it. Ecological Law and the Planetary
Crisis first examines how the history of humanity's social
metabolism, along with the history of human inventions and ideas,
led to the human-Earth dilemma we see today and explains why
contemporary law is inadequate for confronting this dilemma. The
book goes on to propose ecological law-law that maintains human
activity within ecological limits such as planetary boundaries
while ensuring social justice and equity-as an essential element of
an urgently needed radical pathway of change toward a perpetual,
mutually enhancing human-Earth relationship. Finally, it offers a
systems-based analytical tool for organizing actions to promote the
transition from environmental to ecological law. Increasing the
visibility, clarity and development of ecological law, this book
will be of great interest to students and scholars of ecological
and environmental law and governance.
