The Ecological Constitution integrates the insights of
environmental constitutionalism and ecological law in a concise,
engaging and accessible manner. This book sets out the necessary
components of any constitution that could be considered
"ecological" in nature. In particular, it argues that an ecological
constitution is one that codifies the following key principles, at
a minimum: the principle of sustainability; intergenerational
equity and the public trust doctrine; environmental human rights;
rights of nature; the precautionary principle and non-regression;
and rights and obligations relating to a healthy climate. In the
context of the global environmental crisis that characterises the
current Anthropocene era, these principles are important tools for
changing consciousness and driving pragmatic policy reforms around
the world. Re-imagining constitutions along these lines could play
a vital role in the collective project of building a sustainable
future for humans, animals, ecosystems and the biosphere we all
share. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars
of environmental law, ecological law, environmental
constitutionalism, sustainability and rights of nature.
