This book collects land use laws from countries on each continent
that attempt to achieve sustainable development. Due to the
startling evidence of global deterioriation and the long-term
trends in land use, the Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable
Development was signed in 2002. In the laws collected in this
volume, the reader can witness the evolution of national legal
systems as they respond to the challenge of sustainable
development. This volume illuminates the great flexibility and
power of the law as a vehicle for change. Laws contained in this
compendium are mechanisms competent to address society's problems;
they provide strategies that are appropriate to the culture and
place of their origin. The book provides evidence that laws and law
reform are being used to create strategies that address a worldwide
priority: the clear need to effectively use and preserve the land
and its natural resources.
