This book examines the development of environmental law in the
period since the ground-breaking 1992 United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development or 'Earth Summit' in Rio de Janeiro. It
demonstrates that a great deal has been achieved in the field of
environmental law since the 1990s. However, the extraordinary
environmental crises facing humanity in the 21st century indicate a
continuing urgent need for the generation of robust policies and
frameworks concerning ecological, socio-cultural and economic
sustainability, implemented through appropriately innovative legal
mechanisms. The book is divided into five sub-themes of
sustainability: history, principles and concepts; environmental
rights; access to justice and liability issues; natural resources,
energy and climate change; and nature conservation. It includes
expert legal opinion on developments to date, engaging with key
themes from a broad selection of jurisdictions and perspectives.
The analyses extend across public and private law to reflect the
manifold areas which are rightly and necessarily the concern of
environmental and sustainability law. Its contents offer not only
critiques of developments to date, but also constructive engagement
with matters of pressing concern to all. Written from a global
perspective, this book will be an invaluable reference for
academics, postgraduate students, practitioners and policy-makers
concerned with environmental law and sustainability. Contributors:
