Over the last decades, environmental law has significantly
contributed to limiting pollution and decoupling economic growth
and negative environmental effects. However, current challenges
require out-of-the-box solutions, integrated and inclusive
approaches of both public and private actors and cross-border sets
of instruments. This book presents inspiring ideas about how law
can support the fundamental transition processes to a sustainable
future and how it can provide guidance on the pathways to
sustainability. This book focuses on issues such as what legal
instruments optimally encourage disruptive breakthroughs and where
law may actually hamper sustainable innovations and solutions. It
examines conceptual issues and specific legal tools, not only from
an EU law perspective, but also from national and international law
perspectives. Alongside general discussions about the role that law
plays in encouraging sustainability, the book also concentrates on
substantive areas in which transition processes to sustainability
are urgently needed: the transition to a low carbon economy in
order to comply with the Paris Agreement for climate change, the
transition to a holistic management of water resources to achieve
water security and the transition to halting the loss of
biodiversity. The different contributions make clear that until
recently, law played a limited role and should be further developed
and improved to better align with the more general aim to move
towards a sustainable society. This book can serve as an
inspiration for further discussion on the role of law as a tool for
supporting the transition to a sustainable future.
