This volume examines environmental law and governance in the
Pacific, focusing on the emerging challenges this region faces. The
Pacific is home to some of the world's most astonishing biological
and cultural diversity. At the same time, Pacific Island nations
are economically and technically under-resourced in the face of
tremendous environmental challenges. Destructive weather events,
ocean acidification, mining, logging, overfishing, and pollution
increasingly degrade ecosystems and affect fishing, farming, and
other cultural practices of Pacific Islanders. Accordingly, there
is an urgent need to understand and analyse the role of law and
governance in responding to these pressures in the Pacific. Drawing
on academic and practitioner expertise from the Pacific region, as
well as Europe and the United States, this unique collection
navigates the major environmental law and governance challenges of
the present and future of the Pacific. Environmental Law and
Governance in the Pacific discusses 21 Pacific Island countries and
territories, including Cook Islands, Fiji, Papua New Guinea,
Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and Samoa, and a broad range of themes,
such as deep-sea mining, wetlands and mangroves, heritage,
endangered species, human rights, and access to justice, are
addressed, thus providing a comprehensive and state-of-the-art
overview of environmental law and governance within specific
jurisdictions as well as across the Pacific region as a whole. This
volume will be essential reading for students and scholars
interested in environmental law and governance in the Pacific
region, as well as policy-makers, practitioners and NGOs involved
in the development and implementation of environmental law and
policy.
